Discernment, Refinement and Taste in Adaptive Feedback Systems

The initial construction of a fluid system opens pathways where everything is unexplored and feels exciting. As a result of the synthesis of this feeling and unfamiliarity with the landscape observed we give leeway to exploration and branching out in novel and creative ways. As the branching reaches its observed state of limits, the system temporarily hardens into a structure that tends to prune most branches and maintains only the ones with the most stable feedback loops. When the stability reaches a state where nothing moves and is at its hardening limit, the reversal (softening) of the previous state enables branch regeneration but under a different observable phase shift. ...
