Software Systems Evolution, Free Will and Hyperincursivity
p. 3-21
Abstract
During software evolution, the next state to be reached by the system, can be an unknown situation that could have unwillingness effects over the evolutionary process. Additionally, the modifications suffered by a Software System may affect the structure or the way of use of that structure. In order to avoid undesired effects, changes must be known by the system. The knowledge of the future states moves us to consider these systems as Incursive Discrete Strong Anticipatory Systems. As well, the evolution has hyperincursive characters because there exists several possibilities of modification, before selecting the next state… As a consequence we have a non directed evolutionary process in order to obtain a correct and adequate evolutionary sequence for the system. This process is also not hazardous, but under the modeller free will.
