That is, a process that works with how processes work. + +On a computer, processes are made of instructions: steps. Working with a process means +being able to represent possible steps as some kind of structured data that can be executed. +The data structure must represent enough meaning to interconnect the steps to do something, +and it must be able to refer to itself usefully. + +1. Choose a simple algorithm for collecting steps together to perform a task. +2. Choose a simple representation of steps to use for #1. +3. Implement #2 enough to use it to communicate a step to another process. +Once #3 works, the goal now is to efficiently produce a form of #1 as a collection of +processes that can develop themselves, using each other as their steps. Make sure to +reuse your work, and do work that is reusable, as much as possible. + +4. Choose a simple algorithm for handling if something horrible goes wrong that must + never be repeated (trauma). Consider storing a detailed log forever. Consider refusing to + continue until enough knowledge is found to prevent it happening again. + Note: In humans, trauma spreads as urgent habits for handling it. + This makes war, so if you can identify it is happening, consider that group-trauma. + +Below this line is a work in progress. + +5. Choose a simple algorithm for testing if #2 is correct. Use #4 if it is not. +6. Consider that a group of processes is itself a process. This could be any arbitrary + group of processes. + +Note: each way to do things, is a thing the whole process can do. -- cgit v1.2.3
