By using these concepts we outline the research devoted to modelling and managing behaviours of Collective Beings, emergent from the same agents simultaneously interacting in different ways. Collective Beings are systems in which each interacting component can simultaneously belong to different systems. The DYnamic uSAge of Models (DYSAM) is then introduced as a tool to model and manage Collective Beings, by using different disciplinary types and levels of description.

Meaning processing incurs on information processing with hindsight, while information processing recursively follows the time axis. The sole assumption of social relatedness as a variable among goups of agents provides sufficient basis for deriving the logistic map as a first-order approximation of the social system. The anticipatory formulation of this equation can be derived for both anticipation in the interaction term and in the aggregation among subgroups. Using this formula in a cellular automaton, an observer is generated as a reflection of the system under observation. The social system of interactions among observations can improve on the representations entertained by each of the observing systems.
