II. DEFAULT METHOD OF SENSOR/SHAPER PARTICLE 
FORMATTING OF DEFINITION CLUSTERS  
(HOW records are formatted, filed, and accessed by a given isolated SSC)  The
default method for the isolation and value polarized recording of the
entity's "theoretical definitions" of the elements, actions, and concepts of
a given target environment.   
  
An SSC creates and accesses records called "definition artifacts". A
definition artifact is a cluster of i/o particles within an indicative atomic
format.  These i/o particles are of 2 main types: SENSOR and SHAPING.  Such
particles might be viewed as the "quarks" of entity's sensor/shaping
capabilities within said entity's target universe.   
 
Early on in my exploration of cognitive space I had to solve this problem.
 Briefly, cog physics reduces all input and output action to sensor and
shaping particles respectively.  The format designates a default method for
structuring these groups of incoming and outgoing i/o quarks into isolable
definitive "value polarized" clusters which may be usefully stored, accessed,
and compared by an SSC.  
 
 A. Atomic Relativity Formatting (ARF) 
 
ARF is a very simple and useful method of defining concepts within an
entity-universe that views all "non-space" as groups of i/o particles.
Particles of matter in cognitive space are arranged in a somewhat natural
"atomic" configuration.  (ARF is not a format which I designed, but instead,
one that I have observed and adapted to serve the needs of cognitive
machinery.)   
 
 B. Value Polarization.  
An event cycle is very special "value polarized" type on "definition
artifact". The definition of an event cycle is comprised of a "fluctuation
in", "reaction out", and "evaluation of" the given cycle that has occurred in
said target environment.    
 
This value polarization within the formatting of history might be best
described as a  prevailing attitude or value prejudice in the interpretation
and accounting of the actions and elements that comprise a given cycle event.
 
  
As a Flux Cycle Event is recorded, a determination is made as to whether or
not this event  had a positive, negative, or neutral effect on the value
status of the target universe (environment).  
  
In other words, all records are value polarized as a portion of formatting.
For instance, the given fluctuation of a given event cycle might be recorded
and subsequently view as a "problem"; followed by a reaction (or solution if
you like) to that problem.  Whether or not the solution/reaction was
successful, would be entered in the evaluation field of the record.  
  
With a few exceptions, all SSCs format each fluctuation event cycle in one
(or more) of the following three value polarized configurations.    
  
1. A problem with an attached solution.  
2. An opportunity with an attached acquisition plan.  
3. A cause with an attached effect (usually neutral in value).
