The hyperincursive discrete oscillator is, in this case, a pure recursive system which is a deterministic system that is separable into two incursive discrete harmonic oscillators which are characterized by a deterministic anticipation.

The living organism can thus be viewed as the material process that breaches the material order. In this way, the virtual becomes operative in the real through the anticipative procedures of the organism, giving rise to novelty. A similar idea is entertained by Kant in the Critique of the Power of Judgment, where he links the idea of the inexplicability of the organism with that of a breach in the immanent order without appealing to anything beyond mateial forces. In this paper, an attempt is made at clarifying the precise way in which the organism is recalcitrant to traditional notions of explication by examining and relating the views of Kant and Bergson on the subject. Both thinkers struggle to clarify the relation between organization on the one hand and temporality on the other. I suggest that their casting talk of organization in terms of retrograde temporality is an attempt to come to terms indirectly with the challenge the organism poses to any traditional model of temporality.

It is argued that the epistemological framework of Helmholtz's optics can be analyzed transcendentally on two levels of analysis, namely critical and metacritical. Both levels are concerned with the way in which objectivity is constituted, but while the former is concerned with the imposition of structure by our cognitive organization, the latter deals with the constitutional role of constraint. It is demonstrated how this general epistemological strategy could also help structuring the questions involved in accounting for the internal models that necessarily underlie the activity of anticipation. More specifically, this paper argues that Helmholtz's work could provide some powerful insights into the notion of 'constraint', that is considered to be crucial in accounting for the ability for anticipation.

Holloway observes that the standardized form of the earliest stone tool artefacts, exposes a turning point in cognitive organisation of the hominid species. The arbitrary form can be understood as the introduction of the concept of "object" and the act of projection itself implicates a cognitive posture of taking distance. The latter could as well be understooda s anticipation. Apart of drawing attention to this most interesting point of view, some critical questions and remarks are also formulated.

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.

I will focus on one of the different versions of this deduction we can find in the work of this German philosopher between 1795 and 1814, namely, the time and space deduction presented in Fichte's Outline of the Distinctive Character of the Doctrine of Knowledge with Respect to the Theoretical Faculty, a substantial supplement to the Foundation of the entire Science of Knowledge published in 1795 and also originally planed only for his students.

If a philosophical space intends to figure out and expand the real form and time of the corpus of the dancer, some movements of thought have to unfold themselves in an indefinite reflection, passing through the refraction of an obstinate looking glass. Indeed, the dancer's experience of the real of her body and of the spatiotemporal dimensions she inscribes with her configured movements, is always marked by the looking glass, mirrored, epitomized and reflected. In result, her real body remains untouchable or in-tact, however, split and crumbled into different bodies, levels and parts. This split prompts us with questions on the spacious unity of the real of the dancer's body. The time in where this body is a-life and moving, deciding on when, where and how to direct itself into a beautiful shape and blissful form, constantly ready to give and receive at the same moment, seeing what is coming without seeing, uncovers itself as anticipatory, autonomous and unconscious. Through the concepts Ausdehnung and plasticity, to be unfurled from a cordiality in Kant's and Freud's interpretation of sensibility and the unconscious, I will inform the form of the dancer so difficult to grasp, arguing strongly for the dancer as an anticipatory power : a moving corpus that is time and eternity as well as space and infinity in one.

I will show how Badiou and Levinas take a way out of this and in doing so deny the possibility of anticipating the moral. Furthermore, I claim that this anticipatory moment can be introduced back by means of the concept of "practical wisdom" as used in analytical virtue ethics. Finally, I argue that the Kantian notion of the sublime is structurally the same as the moral event in Badiou and Levinas, and that our view of the sublime can benefit from both Levinas' view and the concept of "practical wisdom" as well.

Especially in the areas of prevention and early detection we see this developmenl taking shape. What is mostly lacking in this novel approach is the idea that anticipation is deeply nested in every living system, even a pathological one. The dynamics of the process change during the course of observation and make meaningful predictions more difficult. So it is of the utmost importance to analyze the field of emergence which is schizophrenia as a plain of divisions, schisms and faulty recombinations, embedded from the start. The time(observer) approach in the therapeutic setting from a subjective point of view offers a way to approach and understand the tension that exists in the developmental lines within schizophrenia (pathological, ordinal, original, transcendental). We demonstrate this problem using the technique of lichaamskaart in the therapeutic time perspective.

Simulation-based decision support is a holistic methodology for decision assessment in organizations. System dynamics is a proper methodology for modeling and testing the dynamic hypotheses of organizational systems. The role of subjects in model development and its validation from cybernetic, psychological and cognitive perspectives are discussed in this paper. Group participation in model building and validation is suggested in order to prevent the manipulation of dominant subjects and/or implicit dictators during modeling. This paper concludes with some useful examples of systems simulation in solving real problems.

Designing a Human Space Autonomous system for Mars exploration needs a cognitive and semiotic approach lead by risks perception and evaluation. The objective is to solve complex problems and facilitate communication and cooperation at the early stages of the project. The specialized languages, norms and representations tend to separate knowledges in different fields. This process is emphasized by the tendency of discursive thought to reduce the multiple to the unity. Designing an open, self-learning and reliable exploration system1 able to self-adapt in dangerous and unforeseen situations implies a collective networked intelligence led by a safe process that organizes interaction between the actors and the project finality.

Dubois the numerous investigations of concrete systems had been proposed. Discrete dynamical systems with anticipation constitute one of such system class. But not very many investigations of such objects exist recently. More intensive investigationso f counterpartst o properties of common systems need- namely to stability of solutions, bifurcation diagrams, chaotic behavior. So the investigation of one modification of well known logistic equation by anticipatory property is considered. One of the most interesting properties in such systems is presumable multivaluednes of the solutions. The next issues are described : the examples of periodic and complex solutions, attractor’s properties, and dependence on the parameters.

Indeed the points are the space molecules and consequently radiate waves throughout their whole space according to "de Broglie" relation. To develop this particularly scheme we introduce generalized futures under vector compositions, the echoic horizons, the moving operators (Z.O.), the travelling waves and the topic flows. The pulsating points show space structures as in a telescope ocular. An operational comparison is developed between the recurrence algorithms applied to points and the scanning of the future states. The stabilizing function of echoes over the evolutions is underlined. For illustrating a permanent stationary future in technology, we scan the conversion of power in an electrical machine where a pair of rotating electromagnetic waves, performs a progressive procedure for maintaining the functional stability.

They are also able to act as Dubois' internalist and strongly anticipatory systems (Dubois, 1998, 2001). We prove that the possibility of emergence and of anticipation both depend upon a kind of "degeneracy property" (as defined by Edelman (1989)) which we call the Multiplicity Principle MP. It says that there are functionally equivalent patterns which are not structurally isomorphic or interconnected by a cluster (more precisely : not isomorphic as Ind-objects (Ehresmann & Vanbremeersch, 2007). An application is given to the emergence of a new artistic current (e.g. Cubism) in the MES representing the Art world.

It is an infinite collection of probability distributions, correlated in a manner suitable for modeling gradual wear and degradation over time. Degradation generally consist of cumulative amounts of deterioration and the advantage of the gamma process is recognized by Jan M. van Noortwijk in the 1990's and applied in many structural studies. We introduce a novel stochastic process we call a delayed gamma process, designed for the estimation of infrastructure lifetime. An overview of the development of the model is given and the methods for estimation are reviewed.

We show that the permutation excess entropy is equal to the mutual information between two adjacent semi-infinite blocks in the space of orderings for finite-state stationary ergodic Markov processes. This result may spread a new light on the relationship between complexity and anticipation.

The present paper illustrates new trends in the study of symmetry concept and its implication in explanation of the matter structure and of the evolutionary phenomena from nature. It is well known that in 2008 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics. As an introduction to the necessity to study symmetryn ot for static states only, but also for dynamic systems, the paper presents the philosophical concept of the symmetry of senses in the profound matter. For the dynamical systems, the definition of the symmetry by anticipation and retardation belong to the author. Certain cases when the symmetrical evolution of two conjugate systems is broken are indicated in a mathematical model.

We show functional connection between resonance and wave generation. On the other side the echoing horizons exert a particular resonance over the anticipatory trajectories and may be considered as stabilizing operators. We indicate the functional association between loops and curl(V) operators. Loops and curl(V) operators will be considered as resonators to maintain the coupling between pairs of spaces as between the electric and magnetic spaces. We observe Fourier transformation which relates the time signal evolution to the frequencies of their resonators. Consequently there is a link between resonators and oscillators. Besides resonating aromatic molecules play as light filters and the mirror as optic resonances between objects and their pictures.

We recapitulate some key points from this treatise. Then we explain how said pattern, which also has a geometric anchoring and representation, is established in the maximum sense of a pattern, manifesting from a certain disclosed number generator. It is also demonstrated how this maximum pattern can be represented as an achieved computational expression and translation. Finally, it is discussed in what regards the prime numbering system can be interpreted as anticipatory from the mathematical and computational expressions of this system.
