A SFRS records each flux event, beginning with the flux and ending with the
reaction, including a post reaction evaluation as to whether or not this
entire event, as it has occurred, had a positive, negative, or no effect on
the defined value measurements within the target universe of the given
entity.  note: The value of a given universe must be defined by the creator
of the entity, whether the creator of said entity is a human being, or
 another SSC.  
  
4. Decision -  Is a survivable Reactionary Order to this flux known? [IF NO
GO TO 6.]  
Has this entity ever encountered this flux before and survived the known
historical reactionary shaping response to this known flux?  
 IF YES CONTINUE TO STEP 5  
  
5. Retrieve Record - Access successful Reactionary/Order of known flux event.
[GO TO  11]  
This is a known flux, with a known successful historical reactionary order.  
  
6. Decision -  Similar historical fluctuation found? [IF NO GO TO 9.] (A
survivable R/O to this flux is not known)   Can a similar historical
fluctuation be found within the records of successful (survived)   FRS
cycles?  
 IF YES CONTINUE TO STEP 7  
  
7. Retrieve Record - Access Reactionary Order of known similar flux event
record.  
  
A Similar FLUX is Known.  This FLUX is similar to a known flux, with a known
successful (perpetuating) historical Reactionary Order.  
  
8. Process  -  Resect the Reactionary Order   (see default resection) [GO TO
10] according to the incongruent portion of the simile compare event, and
known historical resection 
problems of a similar type.    (see default resection)  
  
9. Process  -  Select a Random shaping Reaction to this Flux.    
Create random output particle cluster.  
  
10. Decision -  Has this Reaction Failed Before? [IF YES GO TO 6]   
Is this shaping reaction a known historically failed reaction to this current
cycle flux?  
 IF NO CONTINUE TO STEP 11  
  
11. Shape - Implement the Reactionary Order (shape the target environment)
***OutputTerminal***  
  
12. Record   -  Define And Record Shaping Cycle Event   
[Return To 1. - Sensor Scan For Flux]  
  
The Simile-FRS Circuit is designed to react successfully (over a period of
time) to fluctuations in modular status.  If the flux is in the nature of a
problem (a deterrent to the survival or value assignment of the entity),
then, the machine will inevitably create a survivable solution (as the
reactionary order to this "problem" flux).    
  
The input terminal accepts flux (usually problems or opportunities); the
output terminal emits reactions (usually solutions or acquisition plans).
 These polarized terminals act as connection-points for expanding the modular
structure in two of the three directions of task network growth (Implosion
and Explosion). Copyright 1995  All rights reserved.
