“…Usando a terminologia adotada pela maioria da literatura sobre antecipação, a articulação mais simples dos tipos de antecipação é entre tipos fortes e fracos, onde o primeiro (o forte) é concebido como um acoplamento entre o sistema e seu ambiente, enquanto o último (o fraco) é entendido na forma de um modelo (cognitivo) desenvolvido pelo próprio sistema antecipatório (DUBOIS, 2000). Como uma decorrência direta, a sobrevivência evolutiva implica que todos os sistemas vivos são caracterizados por alguma forma de forte antecipação, enquanto algumas das espécies mais evoluídas também podem desfrutar de tipos fracos de antecipação.…”

O artigo apresenta a ideia de sistemas de antecipação, ou seja, de sistemas que tomam suas decisões no presente de acordo com as previsões sobre algo que eventualmente acontecerá. A definição de antecipação mais conhecida ainda é a de Rosen: "Um sistema antecipatório é um sistema que contém um modelo preditivo de si próprio e/ou de seu ambiente, o que permite que ele mude o estado em um instante de acordo com as previsões do modelo relativas a um instante posterior". O erro mais óbvio cometido por quase todos quando confrontados pela primeira vez com a idéia de antecipação é pensar que a antecipação é uma característica que possuímos porque somos agentes cognitivos altamente complexos e maravilhosamente sofisticados. Isso não é o que a teoria da antecipação afirma. De fato, a principal surpresa incorporada na teoria da antecipação é que se trata de um fenômeno generalizado presente em todos os tipos de realidades e caracterizando-os. O artigo apresenta alguns dos primeiros trabalhos de Rosen sobre a antecipação e explica em alguns detalhes determinadas sutilezas.

“…Nevertheless, human often makes a decision oriented to a certain profit in future. In other words, a system with such a human "factor" is an anticipatory system according to a definition formulated by (Rosen 1985) or anticipatory system in a week sense according to a later definition by (Dubois 2000). Humans often use imagining what could happen as a sequence (or tree) of consequences of such a decision.…”

In this paper essential aspects of block-oriented world viewing are emphasized and presented in a relation to simulation models of systems managed by complex and sophisticated decision rules. The construction of such models can be essentially simplified when one combines the agent-oriented, object-oriented and blockoriented paradigms of programming. The use of the described way leads to certain paradoxical relations among computing agents. Some applications are added. BASIC SUPPOSITIONS Main Technique of Constructing Simulation ModelsThe technique of computer simulation is commonly applied in case the studied system is complex. The consequence is that the simulation models are complex, too, and there are difficulties with their programming and debugging. Since the early sixties, the simulation programming languages have enabled evading such difficulties. Instead of algorithmizing the run of the simulation models, the users of these languages had only to describe the simulated system and the language processor automatically translated such descriptions into corresponding algorithms (computer programs).Already one of the first simulation languages, GPSS, offered their users to declare certain sets of elements equipped by similar configurations of their private entities (called "parameters") and influencing the computer run by commonly formulated "life rules", i.e. algorithms switched according to a common "scheduling system" related to common modeled Newtonian time flow (Gordon 1961, Florea andKalisz 2000).The first object-oriented language SIMULA 67 (Dahl and Nygaard 1968) introduced also the life rules, generalized them to "co-routines" and led to the agents. In spite of they essential help it to be successful in simulation of very large systems, the next popular existence of the object-oriented programming (in C++ and Smalltalk) refused the life rules. Long time after, the agent orientation slowly returned, but under other titles and other metaphors taken from the world around us. Principles of Block OrientationTrue block orientation was introduced in ALGOL 60 (Backus et al. 1960), considering blocks as parts of algorithms with own entities (namely "local" variables, procedures and -for some good authors also destinations of transfers in algorithm run). In fact, such parts of algorithms, called "textual blocks", are only abstract patterns of "block instances", i.e. components of the relating computing process. The block instances are in a certain case "copies" of the textual blocks, which are able to influence the computing according to the statements occurring in the related textual blocks. In some cases (e.g. recursive calls of procedures) more instances of the same textual block exist in the same time and influence the computing process.An essential aspect of the block orientation is block nesting: Textual block b is considered as a certain sort of statement and occurs among the other statements forming another textual block B (and so on recursively, as B can be also among the statements of another b...

“…It has been suggested that the incursive and hyper-incursive equations can be used for the modeling of weakly and strongly anticipatory systems, respectively. 1,5 This paper suggests explaining the mechanism of reconstruction and "creative destruction" 6 in the evolution of social systems in terms of these equations.…”

“…1,2 For example, a social system reconstructs its future by providing new meaning to its past and thus potentially overwrites (parts of) its history. During the last century, for example, this reconstructive capacity has been developed particularly in terms of techno-economic coevolutions at interfaces between the natural sciences and the economy.…”

Abstract. In biological systems, the capacity of anticipation-that is, entertaining a model of the system within the system-can be considered as naturally given. Human languages enable psychological systems to construct and exchange mental models of themselves and their environments reflexively, that is, provide meaning to the events. At the level of the social system expectations can further be codified. When these codifications are functionally differentiated-like between market mechanisms and scientific research programs-the potential asynchronicity in the update among the subsystems provides room for a second anticipatory mechanism at the level of the transversal information exchange among differently codified meaning-processing subsystems. Interactions between the two different anticipatory mechanisms (the transversal one and the one along the time axis in each subsystem) may lead to co-evolutions and stabilization of expectations along trajectories. The wider horizon of knowledgeable expectations can be expected to meta-stabilize and also globalize a previously stabilized configuration of expectations against the axis of time. This recursive incursion on the incursive dynamics of expectations can be modeled using hyper-incursion. The knowledgebased subdynamic at the global level which thus emerges, enables historical agents to inform the reconstruction of previous states and to co-construct future states of the social system, for example, in a techno-economic co-evolution.
