Glen's Claim:
a) a mesh of parallel processes evolving in time
b) each process has a local branching structure
c) these branches (and the events that walk them) compose
d) that composition is monitored and remembered within some scope
e) that monitor/memory is used by a controller to edit the branching structures

Heraclitus says: "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's
not the same river and he's not the same man."

From the Eulerian perspective, fluid flowing through a river delta has
many of the characteristics of Glen's theory. We can imagine the river
delta as a mesh of composed local branching structures, whose events
are the ensemble particles of the flow (a,b,c). The flow monitors the
river delta directly, it experiences the changes in gradients and shear (d1).

The flow memories the river delta by acting on the delta directly, it frees

sediment at one stage only to deposit it at a further stage (d2). Through

time, the flow's monitoring and remembering edits the branching structure

of the river delta, giving rise to phenomena like distributaries and important

to our free will-discussion delta switching (e).
