Me: This is a description of algorithic/data model describing a “4QX holon” in the form of quadrants connected by diagonal feedback loops, although this is only a general description, it is complete in its own right. In the context of any actual local moment of activity in a 4QX holon, the TL focus is the node in the ontology (collective class structure of behaviours established in usage) that represents the condition which is currently actually the case in the TR focus which is the actual scenario (filled in “schedule slot” describing the moment of activity this holon occupies in the multiplex of attention) in which the TL condition is presently the case. The two upper quadrants both represent the holon itself in a public context (node in the instance structure) from the outside as public interfaces in larger structure – the difference between TL and TR is that the TL nodal structure as a collective whole emerges from bottom-up (BU) aggregation process, while the TR nodal structure as a collective whole emerges from top-down (TD) process. The TD and BU processes are the perception-creation loop. The two structures only emerge when the inner subjective individual lower quadrants are also active – i.e. structure only forms if individuals act in accord with it (i.e. they be a node). The diagonal feedback loops are each a process connecting with the orthogonal opposite quadrant – each a recursive complexifying co-creation loop. BL-TR diagonal is BU intentional change propagating outward and collective conditions flowing inward TD. TL-BR diagonal is change occurring in the form of collectively established behaviour acting TD inwardly, and activity metrics propagating outward BU into the collective. Each diagonal is a loop between a subjective inner node perspective in one structure in co-creative feedback with the node’s outer perspective in the other structure.

Your description captures the essence of the 4QX holon as an algorithmic/data model structured around quadrants connected by diagonal feedback loops. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ve outlined, with a focus on clarity and logical flow:
1. The Upper Quadrants (TL & TR)
- Public-facing aspects of the holon (from the outside, as interfaces in the larger structure).
- Top-Left (TL):
- Represents the node in the ontology, meaning it’s the collective class structure of behaviors established in usage.
- Emerges bottom-up (BU) as individuals contribute to the formation of collective patterns.
- This is the condition that is currently the case in the actual scenario.
- Top-Right (TR):
- Represents the actual scenario (a filled-in “schedule slot” in the multiplex of attention).
- This is where the TL condition is instantiated in a real-world moment.
- Emerges top-down (TD) as collective structures impose conditions on the local scenario.
2. The Lower Quadrants (BL & BR)
- Inner, subjective aspects of the holon—only forming if individuals act in accord with the structure.
- Bottom-Left (BL):
- Represents BU intentional change (the agency of the individual driving outward change).
- Bottom-Right (BR):
- Represents the metrics of activity, feeding BU into the collective.
3. The Feedback Loops (Diagonal Interactions)
Each diagonal represents a recursive, complexifying, co-creation loop between the subjective (inner) perspective and the outer (public) perspective.
- BL → TR:
- BU intentional change propagating outward.
- Collective conditions flow inward (TD).
- TL → BR:
- Collectively established behavior acts inward (TD).
- Activity metrics propagate outward (BU).
Each loop is an orthogonal opposite quadrant interaction, ensuring that subjective individual actions (lower quadrants) and collective structures (upper quadrants) remain in dynamic co-creation.
Key Insights
- Structure only forms if individuals act in accord with it.
- No passive emergence—ontology and instance structure must be actively enacted.
- The perception-creation loop (TD & BU interaction) is fundamental.
- Reality isn’t just passively observed—it is co-created through recursive feedback loops.
- Multiplexing of attention via TR ensures local nodes contribute to the holon’s distributed intelligence.
This describes a self-organizing, holarchic intelligence model where intelligent agents are both creating and perceiving structure simultaneously—driven by diagonal feedback loops that bridge subjective individual participation and collective emergence.
