Are you assuming the system knows the environment totally? Or did you mean the input the system gets from the environment? Would you have to assume the environment was deterministic as well in order to construct a hyperset? Unless you can construct a hyperset tree kind of thing, with branches for each possible environmental state? > This is a hyperset equation, but it seems to nicely and directly capture the > fact that the system is actually acting on and modifying itself... > I'll use _ to indicate subscript for now. I think s_n+1 = g_s_n(x) encompasses the same idea of self-modification, as the function that g performs on x is determined by the state if you consider g to be a UTM and s to be a program it becomes a bit clearer. Consider g() and f() to be the hardware or physics of the system.
