        Grounds for a Procedural Semiotics (1978, extracts)


        Short (TI59) programs for consideration:
        I: Internal Looping without Display
         (universal oscillation phrase)
        II: Internal Looping with Partial Display
         (incrementation phrase)
        III: Random Zero or One Generation
        IV: Representation (inscription and bracketing)
        V: Oscillation 0-1
        VI: Feedback -1-
        VII: Incremental Universal Phrase (counting)
        VIII: Fibonacci
         (including RCL 20 SUM 11 RCL 11 SUM 10 RST 1 STO 11)
        IX: n! X: Choosing at random from two lists
        XI: Sampling & Creation of Structured Bifurcation at t = n
        XII: Second and Third Forms of Representation: Fourth Form
         (transformation through memory and recall)
         (representation through absence)
         (elimination of display and internal tokenization)
        XIII: Representation Tending Towards Display Oscillation
        XIV: Three Forms of Annihilation
         (excluding _x_ from program)
         (absence of token)
         (_x_ in memory canceling itself within the program)
         (canceling _x_ in and out of the program)
         (canceling _x_ out of the program)
        XV: Memory
         (_x_ stored in memory)
        XVI: Recall
        XVII: Program Placing Entropic Cliff which Stabilizes,
         Transforming into Observable Energy
         (desire on the right, regulation on the left .. decimal and 
         oral anus, phallic incrementation, bars of desire (generated by 
         desire))
        XVIII: Binary Conversion XIX: _x_sup_x_ etc. XX: Converge to 1
        XXI: X 10 (?) with Intermediate XXII: Tangent Oscillation
        XXIII: Integer Isolation XXIV: Random Number Generation with
         Decreasing Ceiling 
        XXVI: Specified Incrementation: Placement and Objectification 
         within a Given Structured Series
        XXVI: Syntactical Model Possessing Symmetrical Substructure and
         Left-to-Right Restraints (2 universes of discourse with single
         control indicative of both absence and association)
        XXVII: Advanced Syntactical Model
        XXIX...: Incremental Field Programs
         (incremental field programs possess a central processing unit 
         containing a random number generator, plus a structured field 
         containing subprograms. Each subprogram outputs into another 
         subprogram, according to the sequencing of the cpu. The 
         subprograms respond in various ways to their inputs. In some 
         cases, the input is bypassed entirely and a 'false processing' 
         occurs. The subprograms may be considered floating signifiers. 
         An internal natural history...)
        XXX: Program with Internal Cycles XXXI: Divisor Program 
         Producing Partial Information XXXII: LCM GCD in Lattices and 
         Chains
        XXXIV: A program which Stops under Uniform Distribution from
         10 Seconds to Four Centuries or from 10 Seconds to One Hundred
         Fifty Billion Years 
        XXXV: Incremental Field Program with Indexing Increments XXXVI:
         with Simple Processing XXXVII: with Hidden Processing XXXVIII:
         with Syntactical Structuring
        A procedural semiotics models creation, annihilation, gating, 
        memory, recall, marking, and transformation. These are related 
        as well to labor, bracketing, and inscription.

        [Note in these examples the distinction between _known 
        information_ and hidden or false presentation. Think of a 
        mechanism X encoding and decoding according to protocols, 
        languages, programs, and a display Y as a presencing. In 
        addition, think of threshold logics, and the con- struction of 
        gates and networks which may behave as objects or in reference 
        to objects or neural networks. In any case, one is operat- ing 
        _upon_ syntactic structures; as I pointed out back in the early 
        70s, such operating is an experiential and time-driven 
        structuring - the syntactic structures themselves are fully 
        definable, reversible, and time-independent. A "hierarchy" can 
        be created with alternating layers. - Nov. 2000.]
