 A. EXPLOSION EXPANSION.  One SSC(1) may be created to "look at (select)"
another SSC(2) or portion of this machine, adopting this "tangible" portion,
or the entire machine(2), and its(2) "action" as the newly created SSC's(1)
entire task universe.  This new observer/shaper's default task is to make
slight "changes" in this processing machinery and/or the definition artifacts
that it handles, and begin trials and evaluation of this new (perhaps only
minimally mutated) processing configuration.  (see VI. C. Minimal Notch
Mutation)  
 
 B. IMPLOSION EXPANSION.  One SSC(1)machine  may be created to "inhabit a
decision point" within another SSC(2)machine, adopting this decision point
within SSC(2) as the newly created SSCs(1) entire task universe.  This is
very different than the above explosion expansion type.  
  
This new entity would be making an "in-line" decision located within one of
the 12  SSC  subroutines.  Many of the 12 subroutines have a number of
interrupt points to which a new decision entity may be optionally applied.  
 
 C. PARALLEL EXPANSION.  One SSC(1) may be created as an "imperfect clone" of
another SSC(2) or portion thereof, intended as a trial replacement for the
original machine SSC(1) or portion thereof.  Such mutations may be applied to
the cloning event by historically known effective design, or by employing a
random element, or both.  
  
VI. Random Perspective Expansion (RPX)
The reason for establishing all of these methodically expanding units of
order reflecting force at these various fixed perspectives: Each of these
three directions for expansion leads to a unique dimension of such
potentially useful fixed perspectives, almost endless opportunities to
install stationary observer/shapers (new SSCs) among the processing machinery
in cognitive space. Each new observer's perspective yields a unique universe
that is commonly ABUNDANT WITH PATTERNS AND PROFILES DEPICTING AND REFLECTING
USEFUL ORDER WITHIN THE ORIGINAL TARGET ENVIRONMENT of module xyz 0,0,0, the
rudimentary epicenter of the isolated task group."  
  
Obviously, only a minute fraction of these observer perspectives lead to the
discovery of useful shaping (or pattern recognition of value influential
cause/effect) of the given proposed target area.  In deference to this, I
would like to make two points.  
  
(1) The installation and trial testing (target shaping followed by
evaluation) of a typical newly created entity perspective in cog space
involves durations measured in nanoseconds.  
  
(2) Once a useful perspective has been discovered, it can be applied, not
only to problems of the same type; but through the use of simile compare
events (see SCE above), "similes" of this effective new "task (perspective)
network" may be applied to all known task defusing problems of a "similar"
type.  
  
Furthermore, once an effective task network has been discovered for a given
perspective, it will be tuned to its optimum reactionary behavior by using an
SSC evolutionary growth policy called MNM. (see below)
