Canonical GitHub repository:https://github.com/yiningwu-research/Distinction-Theory FDS-N1 develops a complex-systems bridge for Active Finite Distinction Systems. It translates the FDS formal core into a normal-form account of boundary-maintaining self-organization under finite representational capacity and finite resource budgets. In this paper, a self-organizing system is not merely a system that becomes structured. It is a finite system whose internal updates are causally relevant to future…
