From Collective Beings to Quasi-Systems

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to elaborate about eventual formalizations suitable for the post-GOFS. We discuss about the meaning of formalization to consider if the classical understanding is still suitable, looking for validations like theorems and formulations. We will reconsider comments already introduced in Sect. 1.3 about explicit formalization. Shall we consider new approach alternatives to classical formalizations? Which approaches to consider?

Notes

  1. 1.

    Where coherence is considered as evolutionary dynamical structural property and as stable mode of change, while equilibrium is intended as maintaining of properties

  2. 2.

    A signal X 1 is considered to G-cause a signal X 2 when past values of X 1 contain information that helps predict X 2 beyond the information contained in past values of X 2 . The mathematical formulation is based on linear regression modelling of stochastic processes.
