1. Some specific cases
Constant automaton : no E, juste an output function dependinf on inputs. That is the same that a fix E and its content integrated in the ouptuf function.
No output automation. ;This cas seems uninteresting, and without importance for the evolution of the automaton, as long as the output have no effet on the inputs.
No input automation : no iputs, or at least, neither E nor O depends on them. In this case, the systes is necessarily cyclicla. But the cycle may be very long (problably exponentially long in respec to E).
Reversible automation :
- E may be deduced from E-1 , E, I-1 and O ;
- any anterior state may be reconstituted.
Narcissistic automaton : Ii+1 starts again from Oi
Sollipsistic automaton : E = f(E) uniquement
Passive automaton :
- constant E = E, O = f(E), no I (not necessarily constant, but necessarily
cyclical)
- transparent : E = E, O = I
(memoryless filter, or higher order)
Emergence begins when we can make the differenc between I and D (what we perceive about E). In order to indify O, the system must have a mirror. Then we have a global O, image of the system (self) for the external world. And, inside this global O, the explicit O (or controlled O : gesture, speech, attitudes).
2. Emerging automaton
Let us go beyond the finite automaton model. And dive into a continuous wold.
In time : actions and phenomena not depending on cycles.
In structure : actions and events happening out the formal I/O windows. For
instance, physical capture of S by another entity. Global elevation of the environment
and the S itself.
In environment : not formal.
Note that the telecommunications metrics matters only if the physical world has a role. Unless we got a digital description for the physical world itself, or at least that the analog part can be masked by digital patterns/info.
The is some fuzziness too in the relations betwen parts of the entity.
Emergence of a given bit : degree of fuzz.
Take the emergencde of a bit in the material/physical sense, but first postulate
that the bit is logical.
or else : start from any point and work on the dematerialization of its relations.
One could say : there is simultaneous emergence of physical and logical, when emerges the representation, the sign.
Emergence demands that someting external or the environment "wants" the transfer. Up to the moment of a possible revolution, there is an indefinite nesting. And man is not the ultimate root.
Emergence is over all emergence of the self.
b) porosity A,E (software hardware undifferenciation).
There is no.. between E and A. We can adjoint to A the constants bits of E. At the limit, if all E bits are constants, thn for all E, A(E) = E, merges in A.
Conversely, a part of A may be explicited as a a bit string in E. But where is the limit ? Even if A becoms an execution function for a program containd in E, we nevertheless need some minimal functions in A to execute these programs.
Or, then, A ceases to be an automaton and becoms a simple object (program, memory) for another automaton.
Quid of a minimal automaton ? The clock ?

4. Tentative automaton which makes the models better
Let us set a memory of infinite capacity
an a bit flow which a system S tries to predict as well as possible
1st bit : S bets that the second one will be the same
2d bit : if OK, confirmation
else : stop prediction and wait
3d bit : if the same as the 1st, predict alternancde.
else, if same as the 2d, predict that the 4h will be the same ..

5. Some definitions
Un système abstrait, fait de concepts, est totalement défini par les hypothèses, axiomes et postulats de ses créateurs. Le Moigne 1974, d'après Ackoff .
Les systèmes abstraits ont un nombre limité et défini de psychèmes. Lussato 1972
Phase abstraite : Ensemble des objets n'ayant pas de signification intrinsèque, mais représentant (ou étant couplés à) des objets concrets, des classes d'objets ou des objets psychologiques. Ces objets (symboles et signes) sont véhiculés par un agent concret, en phase physique, le support. Lussato 1972
On ne peut contester qu'il n'y ait là une puissance réelle. L'absence de doute et de scrupules, la parfaite unité automatique, garde cet être à part des tergiversations humaines. J. Michelet, Histoire de France, Ed. Rouff. tome VI.
Il suffit qu'un processus soit explicité pour qu'il soit réalisable par un automate. Lussato (et divers)
L'automatisation est la substitution d'une machine à un homme pour effectuer un travail déterminé. L'automation cherche à créer des automates et met en oeuvre des moyens nouveaux qui modifient complètement les procédés de fabrication. Chenique 1971

when an automaton "plays always the same game", it is a limit in
generative power.
it could be augmented by interaction with other automata. eg. light
Symmetry with analysis. Factors here are used as multiplicators.
Numeration with base b as a multiplying example (number is written as a sequence
of digits, and its value is the sum of the digits times brank)
Would it be possible to design an algebra of multiplications. Probably possible
only for very narrow object spaces.
Then, the other fundamental example is embryology, which shows clearly the complexity
ot the thing. The multiplication is not at all a sort of simple sequences applied
globally !
Ops opf the factors Vs. Ops of the product.
Programs and data have no proper ops, only a length.
We find again ghe ops in the followin way :
- a program of a given length (KC if optimized), in bits
- data of a given volume (same optimisation),
then bits2, to be multiplied by the processing time (perhaps a division...)
Beware here, recursion. A short program may generate an infinite looop (10GOTO210)
Then decompression and possibly amplificators
- alias
- interpolation
- noise, texture, timber generation... rendering.
A basic aspect of DU is that the output may be considerably amplified and broadcasted to billions of auditors.
7. Haecceity
By contrast, what makes haecceity interesting is the contradiction/loss ratio
versus product of abstract models. That could be measured :
The scheme must be perfected.
rejoins somewhere the capacity of concrete to generate complexity ad infinitum
then, in some way F =0 for a real objecdt. But, webare, the numetor of F must
be countable
If it has a finite number of bits ; is it, indeed... concrete ?
Rejoints the idea that the higher level is richer thatn the lower one. Hence
eternity, etc.
It remains to show how a finite number of bits can, in interesting way, be presented
as the concretization of an indefinite number of complex abstarct models
and, reciprocally, how they can be generated
(show that R3 orthonormed is optimal ?)
On the generation /
- works parly by projection, then reconstitution work
- reduction on this subspace
but in fact multiplier, since afterwards it will work by product
n' bit smaller (because subspace) then reduction by transition to metafile,
to model
Goees to : multiplication/reduction of concretisations
n = N3 goes into n' = N2
n" > or << n' by transition to meta (but not forcibly)à
N = n"'
quid of the n"'.n"?
and the fuzzy sets heres ?
I try to get the concret out of the abstract like a rabbit out of hat. My models
lets itt go parlty.
Basic solution : sqare pattern with origin
Better solution : from an abstract (powerful) object, define a reference.
The first solution is more organic, the second more functional.

of Bourbaki. (what there is ther, formally).

18.6. Full capacity
See meaning aspects
also the 7L theory. Place of parsing (change of level...)
all the factors separated in the analysis phase could be used in the reconstruction.
but there is a choice of certain, plus other multiplicators
The four causes. Printing press example
Matter : the paper (but also the hardware of the machine and mall matter around)
Form : the image/form to be printed. (but also the form, structure of the machine)
Efficient : moves of the operator, typograph
Final : the reader, customer
by itself, this process is static, without changes other than wear and tear
Laws result directly from inside DY, or the L geodesic, or from physical laws
(Moore). The Kantian a priori/a posteriori
Internal/external convergence

generally : biology, neurosciences
- genetic programming, neural nets, more generally : more complex machines,
partly mimicking biological processes
The core, operations at core

Decision
limits of the mix, see 18.6. on "self"
8. Self-reproduction
in bio, the parsing sends to material, mixed
in DU ? chomosome are not probably a message (but enzymes, yes)
the adult body/soul is the message
9. Telepathy
The real issue here is not the spatial distance (teleportatio like, etc)
but the direct coupling of the cores, without following the normal synthesis/analysis
process to communicate
one could say : it is a problem of digital distance
but with distance even shorter than S and S' diameters
To be studied : It is normal that the communication process reach autonomy on the same way as the genetic/processing process.
As long as processing and communicating (and storing ?) progress at the same rate, we observe the same raios of bits per cycle. in some way, the communication process does not progress, in apparence. (the old problem : if I had more hours per day, accelerating ther ate of thogh... something like that in Eggheads
Aim : look for the simplest function vanishing in the points (optimum = length of equation over precision). Thus we get another kind of KC, "with loss", on a strictly logic standpoint, but perhaps with gain if we consider that the original bitmap was a forced digitization of continuous sub-jacents beings (e.g cicles). A sort of Platon cave. So do we a true work of vision.
Dialectical opposition of binary of the meta (noumenon) and the binary or phenomena.
You go from meta to phenomena through : alias, paper grain, noise.
And from phenomenon to meta by analysis, etc. You climb back up looking tor
the intention (see something like that in Delahaye)
A given S has a yield more or less near the maximal (use time/total time, good
or bad use of the resources relatively to the aimed at functions)rhaps it would
be better here to say "heigth" of processing rather than depth
More bizarre cases, wirh non progressive distribution of levels
Architecture examles
one only bit in input, and two messages (as lon as one will) in output. Then
we have a choixe processor at input, a storage of the two mesages and a copy
generator in output, with the following description in mode GG :
Examples
I et O are messages of same length
a/ the transformation is a random permutation ; the only one way is o store
in memory the full truh table
b/ if they are not permutations, there is several tims the same string in output,
then there are classes in input (all those which have the same outpu) and then
we can have a class selection processor in input (recognition)
c/if they are permutations, perhaps can they be decomposed (the first ten bits
in input give the first ten bits in output) ; then the truth table is decomposed
into sub-tables, of whith the sum is sensibly smaller
d/ the most general case, where we have a transfer low ; see how this law is
formulated
a general case is an answer to a request ; then we can consider that we have
in input the reuest + the whole database (or this later is in E, but is not
very different)
This depth analysis will habe to be passed in concrete (physical world)
journa/press, hypertexte, server
granularity, zap, cuting, emssion (Nulle part ailleurs)
According to the average temperature of E and of the distribuion of these temperatures
If S, I and O are of high level, processing depth is not incompatible wiht inputs
respect. If there are many bits, standardization is not incompatible with personnality.
Saturation for the observing man
Could be rather near to filtering.
A maximal depth could be said reached when the analysis leads to a perfect decomposition in orthogonal factors. At the limit, a set of fully orthogonal bits.
At the bottom, minimal volumes, high pressures, a totally crystalline and orthogonal
world, and coherent.
But never totally. Faults (like in gems) and contradictions, and constraintes
opposed to orthogonalitéy.
At the heart, the genetic code, the most specific traits of Roxame, but also
the essential about the external world. Decision, creativity.
From a judgment standpoint : pure value, absolute a priori.
When there are inputs, ideally, they are radically factorized, up to the moment when they can add some orthogonal bits to the center.
Quand il y a des inputs, idéalement, ils sont radicalement décomposés, jusqu'à ajouter quelques bits orthogonaux au centre.
Reduction/generation : two categories of choices. In the first, select what is interesting in the ouptut, what "revient au même", does not matter.Then, from he core, what should be added. And, in the center, the basic genetic combinations.
