Self-Modelling
Self-Modelling names an engineered form of higher-order carrying where a participant, system, or practice uses a model of itself for future participation.
Self-Modelling is not the organic source of Higher Order. It is an engineered form of recursion.
A model can help retrace where it preserves dependency access. It becomes unsafe where the model becomes the bearing structure and blocks retrace to relation.
Trace
Read
Self-Modelling becomes recognisable where a participant or system carries a model of itself and uses that model to guide further participation.
It is read by asking whether the model preserves retraceability or begins to substitute for the relation it models.
