Full Title or Meme
In order to understand or design any successful, continuing digital ecosystem, there must first be a general theory of living systems that we can use a template to build such a theory.
Context
Bayesian Identity Proofing provides the means for a collection of authentication and verification steps to be validated.
Douglas Hofstadter has been making the case for chunking and the use of fluid analogies in our own thought as a model for how computer networks should work.[1] Analogies—which we make constantly, relentlessly and mostly unconsciously—are what allow categorization to happen. "Our minds are constructed with an unlimited quality for 'chunking' primordial concepts, which then become larger concepts." As an example the word "hub," as in "Denver is the hub for United Airlines," brings to mind a large linked networks of concepts that are "chunked" together to make up the commonly used term. Other examples range from basics like "wheel" and "node" to higher-order concepts like "spoke" and "network." Higher-order concepts are assembled from lower-order concepts. He believes there no fundamental difference in thinking with basic concepts and very large concepts because we don't "see" inside them. We build concepts by putting several concepts together and putting a membrane around them and giving that a name. Kind of miraculously these [interior] concepts disappear into the named high-order concept.

Grier's 19 "proceses" that work at all levels
