Candidates for genesis Operations

This document stores operations of the subject discovered during analysis but not yet included in the canonical genesis vocabulary.

The presence of an operation here does not mean that it is an independent operation rather than a particular case of an already accepted operation or another operation under investigation.

A candidate cannot automatically be used as an operation value in canonical metadata. First, its distinction from already accepted operations must be established and its semantics defined. Once an operation is accepted, its canonical definition is moved to the operation vocabulary, and the candidate entry is removed from this document.

reification

Preliminary Idea

An operation whereby the result of a distinction, a semantic relation, predication, or another operation of the subject begins to be presented as an independent property, entity, or structure of reality itself.

Open Questions

• Is reification an independent operation?
• What exactly constitutes its input?
• Does it always imply erasing its origin in the subject?
• How does it differ from objectification?
• Does it apply to function, property, category, and emergence in the same way?

Example

functional relation
→ “objective property of the object”

predication

Preliminary Idea

The operation of applying a predicate to a distinguished form:

X → X has P

Open Questions

• Is predication an independent operation or a variety of meaning_assignment?
• Is every property a result of predication?
• Which arguments are required to describe this operation?

functionalization

Preliminary Idea

An operation in which an action, capacity, or consequence acquires functional significance relative to a particular form, whole, activity, or goal.

Open Questions

• Is functionalization an independent operation or a particular case of meaning_assignment?
• What exactly makes meaning functional?
• Is a goal necessary here, or is significance relative to a form sufficient?
