Sub-stratum language generation and use

"The world consists of a virtually infinite number of
discriminably different stimuli . One of the most basic
functions of all organisms is the cutting up of the
environment into classifications by which non-identical
stimuli can be treated as equivalent ." (Rosch et al .,
1976 : )


Simple explanation:
A sub-stratum, as defined here, is an organizational layer existing at a faster time scale but which encodes a set of invariants extracted from an organizational layer existing at a slower time scale.  Physical chemical atoms arise from the sub-stratum of quantum and string vibrational reality to produce all chemical compounds available at the time scale in which chemical compounds exists.  In our formal systems, like mathematics; there is no effect from time and yet we have the analogy of axioms, the sub-striate, and compounds of axioms called theorems.  In the discipline of ontological modeling we have particulars that reify into universals, e.g., ontology classes.  In stratified ontology, as defined by Prueitt, we have an extraction of the invariance of instances creating a set of sub-stratum universals that exists only in the sense that they are known within contextualized instances. 

History: Sub-stratum theory is applied in linguistics, second language acquisition research, as a means to explain what is called transferability, the transfer of word meanings as a result of a second language being imposed over a first language. *<*>  In biology, the substrate is often related to the food chain.  However, some bio-mathematics scholars like Robert Rosen *<*> use the concept at the level of metabolic repair cycles.  Charles Sanders Peirce *<*> specifically related substrate to what has been call his "Unifying Logical Vision": "concepts are like chemical compounds, they are composed of atoms". In linguistics the notion of double articulation is most often related to the relationship between phonemes and spoken words.  James Mill's contribution to a stratified view regarding reasoning is not completely known to Prueitt, but the Soviet era development of axiomatic theory and applied semiotics is described in "Foundations" *<*>.  Prueitt developed, 2002, a link analysis based tool that creates finite set of composable pattern atoms as a means to categorize intrusion behavior *<*>.  In 2006, Prueitt noticed a stratification in the meta-machinery used by Sandy Klausner in his specification of a complete, proposed, architecture for a clean slate internet. *<*>.  In 2007, Prueitt developed the notion of a backplate, an organizational stratum from which all network transactions may be defined *<*> and which may be mapped deterministically to machine transaction memory footprints (software transaction memory) *<*>.

Nature of first principles:

Functions provided by sub-stratum generation:

Imagine an artificially created backplate having a finite set of transaction memory footprints. Each footprint has a deterministically internal task management that is known by any processor in the "spanning space", e.g., the set of programs.  Thus, in theory, an optimization of all processing tasks may be found.  However, suppose that this finite set of transaction memory footprints is only good for one instant. In the IT markets this is true because programmers are constantly designing new programming tasks without reusing the elements of the finite set of transaction memory footprints.  This optimization is thus rendered meaningless.  What is needed by grid and manycore processing is a design side that normalizes the set of transaction memory foot prints.

The transaction backplate is proposed by Prueitt. This transaction backplate has properties that are found in nature.

In physical reality, the backplate consisting of chemical atoms allows the development of production cycles where a dependency on natural type is anticipated.  This anticipation is instrumented, in natural systems, by a particular instance to category (situational universal) chunking. The chunking "generates" natural category in which individual differences are ignored.  A biological micro-catalytic environment has been developed to study metabolic channeling *<*>.  So called "metabolic compartmentation" *<*> has similar foundations to the backplate generativity as discussed by Prueitt. *<*>  In materials research a new generation of technology has arisen based on micro-catalytic combustion as a means to purify exotic materials. 

"Microreactors are considered a new opportunity for R&D operations and for the production of hazardous or ultrapure materials where and when they are needed. Most chemical reactions are enhanced by a catalytic process involving a porous support for the catalyst. A microstructure exhibiting a fractal property is proposed as a porous network. A LIGA technique is used to manufacture a number of such structures. Limits and difficulties occurring are discussed."  *<*>  see also *<*>

A lingusitic
micro-catalytic theory is found in Adi's work.  *<*>

Returning to the optimization of grid and manycore computing environemnts, we observe some properties seen in the biological and material sciences research.
