The Process Density Algorithm

Use when building anything that needs to produce emergence — consciousness, intelligence, organization, culture, or compound results over time.

All algorithms

The steps

  1. Identify the substrate. What unit of space or scope are you operating within?
  2. Identify the operations. How many simultaneous, interconnected processes are running per unit of substrate?
  3. Compare to the emergence threshold. Below threshold: search behavior, naive failure cost, no compounding. At threshold: emergence appears — self-sustaining patterns, intelligence-like behavior. Above threshold: rigid, over-coupled, unable to adapt.
  4. If below threshold: increase density of integrated operations. Add more interconnected processes.
  5. If at threshold: maintain. Optimize coordination. Resist the temptation to add more.
  6. If above threshold: reduce coupling. Increase variation tolerance. Allow some operations to fail without cascade.
  7. Apply Fibonacci sequencing for build order. Each addition is informed by the two prior additions. Do not skip steps.
