The infant precipitates from his motoric and language impotence towards an anticipation of an identity, which is, in first instance, supported by the image. In recognising himself in the image, in identifying with the image, the infant anticipates a totality but at the meantime he alienates himself in the image. The image, as a rigid structure, will never adequately "re-present" the subject, but it will nevertheless serve to escape the situation of a "corps morcelé", of a non-unified, a non-totalized body. This paper analyses the relation between insufficiency and anticipation on the basis of Lacan's article. The broader aim is to embed this psychoanalytical viewpoint in a more general theory of complexly organized dynamical systems. In this approach, cohesive forms or structures, such as human subjects, agents, or psychic structures, are considered to take shape at various levels in a developmental history in which the mechanisms of identification and anticipation play a crucial role.

The procedure at issue permits to detect the presence of backlash and to determine possible structural failures inside a mechanical system. Backlash and damages are important causes of vibrations in machines, therefore vibrations monitoring gives indirect information on these parasite effects. An ANN is used to classify the system behaviour among a predefined number of classes, receiving as input vibrational signals (simulated or measured). An application is discussed for devices purposely built for indexing motion, where compliance plays an important rôle, affecting the dynamic behavior of the whole machine. An analysis of parameters sensibility for the proposed procedure on simulated cases highlighted the best values and choices for these parameters. Tests of the procedure on experimental data collected on actual devices match closely the good results achieved with simulations.

We consider this way of proceeding as an instantiation of the process of identification, and will address the question why Kant did not articulate a similar reasoning in relation to living systems, that he deals with in the second part of this Critique. We will explore the epistemological potential of identification - which implies a form of anticipation – in relation to living systems and will set out the epistemological specificities that emerge from this viewpoint.

It is extracted anticipation's role in linear automaton's Controllability/Observability analysis. Via decision-making process presentation in terms of some special walks on some directed labelled multigraph, There is characterized strong anticipation for Problems of weakly initialized finite automaton's internal states identification, as well as of maximal supervisor's design for any discrete event automata-based system. Presentation of winning strategy's design for any Two-Players Game on a graph in terms of design of multi-headed Turing Machine with some arbiter and independently controlled heads outlines some general anticipatory characteristics, inherent to distributed computing.
