Husserl vs. Derrida? Intermittent Critical Finite Automation through Second Person Self-Differential Reference

We present a single non-cellular finite automaton (FA) model exhibiting intermittency and criticality in a simple self-referential dynamics. Because of the correspondence of non-deterministic and deterministic FA to first and third person description, we can say that the model's dynamics is dialogue with oneself in second person. It gives rise to self-organizing behavior that is intermittent and critical. It is argued that the model is a scientific realization of deconstruction by Jacques Derrida.
