V.  THE THREE DIRECTIONS OF SSC UNIT SELF EXPANSION (Implosion, Expansion,
Parallel)  (Directions in which this first (originally installed) unit may
expand the task network.)  
  
Task diffusion is automatic. It occurs as a by product of standard expansions
policies.  An SSC that is operating below its optimum effective performance
(as measure by creator assigned value parameters) will expand.  
  
The configuration (design and direction) of this expansion, the selection of
a specific area and mass of processing machinery in cog space as a target
universe (to which will be applied a new observer/shaper entity) may be
determined by historically known effective design and or random selection.
 This selection determines "where" and "what" the boundaries of the new
entity perspective will be, within the universe of old processing machinery.
 
  
For instance, the expansion manager of a given entity may elect to adopt an
explosion expansion using the 3rd, 4th, and 7th processing instructions of
another given SSC, as a target environment, assigning these three
instructions (and their relative fluctuating specifics) as this newly created
entity's entire task universe.    
  
The task being, in default, to make (shape) controlled changes in these three
instructions (and/or their information artifacts) which increases value in
the, perhaps quite remote, target universe.  
  
Beyond default, the value assessment of such an alien adoption would usually
be designated as a measurement made outside of this new universe
(instructions 3, 4, and 7).  
Specifically, such value would normally be derived from within a dominant
(closer to the nucleus) SSC on the expansion path of the SSC task network, if
not directly from within the nucleus SSC itself (SSC number x(0),y(0),z(0) -
the original expanded SSC that initiated the entire given isolated task
network).   
  
Any type of expansion creates a "connection" of relativity between the given
SSCs involved in the expansion.  A given isolated SSCs task network, for
instance, a typical small entity manning an average cognitive perspective,
might be composed of 100,000 units; each unit will be "connected" to the mass
in at least one of the following three ways.   
  
(first, in very abstract language)  
  
They may : 
(A.) "LOOK at each other" 
(B.) "INHABIT each other" 
(C.) "CLONE each other."  
(cont. in part 7)
