@Chaofluo I have a fair bit of epistemic machinery about coordinating flocking with parallel versions of the self/ many fingers: read this: https://www.math.brown.edu/~res/Stories/laura.html … then: http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Orz_communications … there's some other material about /fast bridged affinities/...
also, distinguishing between the chronological (which can be automated) and kairologues (which can't so easily be automated or linearized).
