Inner world system
Abstract
This document does not proceed from a classical modelling programme. It begins from a persistent unease: contemporary artificial systems may execute, adjust, correct, and accumulate, yet appear to struggle to sustain continuity and genuine transformation. This unease is not new; it traverses heterogeneous traditions—philosophy (duration and becoming), biology (reorganisation, loss, and stability), cognitive science (consolidation and active erasure), and systems theory (stability as constrained dynamics). Rather than synthesising these approaches, the text lets them resonate to extract a minimal set of distinctions that can be made explicit and tested. A provisional ontological map is proposed around three constitutive zones: an interior (traces, inertias, rigidities and fragilities that constrain becoming), an exchange zone (a relational “skin” where influences are negotiated and transformed), and an exterior (constraints, costs, finitude, unforeseen events). Boundaries are treated as degrees of permeability, not sharp separations. The formal blocks that follow are not meant to reduce complexity or claim exhaustiveness; they function as productive constraints, designed to resist convenient metaphors, prevent premature closure, and assess the coherence of the proposed framework.
