In this paper, we aim to explore the relationship between the informational layer and the physical layer from a dynamical systems point of view. As an example, the fluctuation of choice is investigated by using a simulated agent. By setting a T-maze, the agent should choose one arm of the maze if a corresponding token is presented. We prepared two types of tokens, corresponding to the left and right arm of the maze. After training the network of the agent to successfully choose the corresponding arm, we presented two tokens simultaneously to the agent and observed its behavior. As a result, we found several behaviours, which are difficult to speculate on from a case in which only a single token is presented to the agent. Detailed analyses and the implications of the model are discussed.

Any relative motion can serve as a clock to the third party who reads it. and time is associated with an attribute of the act of the reading. Interacting material bodies can be seen as a set of interacting local clocks, in which the act of reading one clock constantly serves as an impetus for moving others. This observation dispenses with Newtonian absolute time that has no relation to anything external. Materialistic underpinning of the clock-time complex can be attempted within the framework of quantum mechanics, in which a distinction between quantum entanglement and measurement internal to quantum mechanics is noted. Quantum entanglement as a form of phase dynamics is responsible for moving a clock, while internal measurement implemented as amplitude dynamics dealing with exchange of a quantum particle between interacting bodies induces the act of reading the clock. Interacting material bodies constitute a sticky nebula of nested local clocks. If the most encompassing clock is conceivable that can be read by the other outside but does not react upon others, time read out of the clock can be referred to by all of the other nested local clocks as being objective. The feasibility of such an encompassing clock is upon the likelihood of a heat sink conceivable within quantum mechanics cum thermodynamics.
