If you are interested in Systems, Cellular Automata, Universal Turing-Machines, Systems Theory, Complex Systems Theory etc. and you haven’t read about Ralf Peyns work uFORM iFORM and SelFis before, you should read these two articles:
How does System function/operate?
How does System function/operate 2
Ralfs latest experiment,
decisionFORMs, lifeFORMs, mindFORMs
is another fascinating product of this new kind of science.
Let me quote to you something from uFORM iFORM to help a little bit with what you are about to learn:
If we want to comprehend systems we have to explore them with systems. With SelFis we can illustrate the history of the states of a system. We can simulate various scenarios of development. We can analyse the self-determination and evolution of decision-systems/distinction-systems. We can learn to create sensible expectations concerning the probabilities of realization of specific processes and operations. We can try to anticipate the measuring possibilities of systems.
