We've defined already 8 Thingness Functions inherent in the thingness of things.
They are basically things that "things" can "do."
They seem to point towards a kind of life cycle, or at least an "entity cycle" or proto-typical pattern of development which state-aware autonomous entities may adopt.
Towards a revised/simplified list of phases in the entity cycle
- Becoming (assuming; also transforming/modulation, state changes)
- Being/Having (being an entity with identity, having a "self")
- Relationality (self relative to other entities with selves)
- Persistence (maintaining, continuing of self)
- Replication (copying of self data to new entity)
- Release (dissolution of previous selfs and self-states)
Just some ideas of how we might clean it up a little...
