Mike's Notes
This week, I had a hunch that I needed to use thermodynamics to describe the state of Pipi. You can read about this adventure in this latest blog post. Instead of answers, I have lots of questions. There will be experiments. So it's off into the deep end again.

Thermodynamics at the root of Pipi
Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.
The root system of Pipi (sys) gives each copy of Pipi a unique name. The names are taken from a list of the old gods of early human history. Loki, Zeus, etc. Each name stays with that Pipi regardless of version numbering. The System deals with the growth, replication and death of each Pipi. It will also enable the Pipis to talk to each other.
Each unique Pipi system consists of hundreds of multiple nested subsystems, which can be combined in various combinations to give different emergent properties.
It is said that the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Prof. Terrence Deacon believes that with life, the whole is less than the sum of the parts due to constraints (I think Terrence is correct about many things). That is the version I am playing with here.
So far, I am figuring out at a high level which bits constrain others and clarifying the self-organisation that occurs where and when—basically, I am building a working data model.
I suspect I will get deeply into Shannon information theory and Boltzmann entropy.
Will this act as a feedback loop? Probably.
Hopefully, I won't end up in some rabbit hole.
I discovered this issue a few days ago while methodically checking, testing and tidying up a long list of systems. Most of them were good to go, but I found something I had missed entirely.
It's a bit of a brain teaser, and I am making many drawings on paper. I want to understand the problem more clearly and then find a solution.
Time for more coffee.
