The idea that there is such a thing as analogue computation is a classic oxymoron. The logic of the digital is computation and vice versa. (Now let's see how quickly this thread devolves.)

The ε-machine reconstruction is how a system predicts by predicting its future via reconstructing its past states. Think of it as a machine that emits X and Y or 0 and 1 in machine language. The best reconstruction is the one that follows the formal definition of Occam's razor.

So then you can think of a complex system as a system capable of retaining its past states or what is called generative entrenchment (tradition anyone?). Now the more (past) reconstructions you have the more you are constrained as a system? How?
