selection that keeps score as to the efficacy of the
change. One finds recursion in the establishment of groups and their corresponding
grouping mechanisms. This recursion then leads to hierarchical infrastructures
of trust and policy through which human social organizations are formed and
exist. So, it is not inappropriate that our considerations have been somewhat
recursive in nature.
We have
considered the mechanisms of interactions from a variety of viewpoints. We
correspondingly considered the mapping of such mechanisms derived from human to
human interactions to those of human to computer and computer to computer
interactions. As the penultimate activity of our considerations we have
suggested a mutational step for a personal device derived from a specific class
of computing platforms and we have augmented this with a consideration of the
mechanisms of social systems derived from, or at least exemplified by,
religious organizations.
In the
following, last chapter we will try to glean some observations of evolutionary
effect that are plausible given these mutational changes and interaction
models. We can already observe that our recursive journey has taken us across a
much wider range of interrelated mechanisms than was our perspective at the
beginning of the trek.
