The task ahead is to chart a course from general ideas about ''transformational equivalence classes of graphs'' to a notion of ''differential analytic turing automata'' (DATA).  It may be a while before we get within sight of that goal, but it will provide a better measure of motivation to name the thread after the envisioned end rather than the more homely starting place.

There are many interesting excursions to be had here, but I will focus mainly on logical applications, and and so the TECs I talk about will almost always have the character of ''logical equivalence classes'' (LECs).

An example that will figure heavily in the sequel is given by rooted trees as the species of graphs and a pair of equational transformation rules that derive from the graphical calculi of [[C.S. Peirce]], as revived and extended by George Spencer Brown.

Here are the fundamental transformation rules, also referred to as the ''arithmetic axioms'', more precisely, the ''arithmetic initials''.

I will be making use of the ''cactus language'' extension of Peirce's Alpha Graphs, so called because it uses a species of graphs that are usually called "cacti" in graph theory.  The last exposition of the cactus syntax that I've written can be found here:

The representational and computational efficiency of the cactus language for the tasks that are usually associated with boolean algebra and propositional calculus makes it possible to entertain a further extension, to what we may call ''differential logic'', because it develops this basic level of logic in the same way that differential calculus augments analytic geometry to handle change and diversity.  There are several different introductions to differential logic that I have written and distributed across the Internet.  You might start with the following couple of treatments:

Justifying a notion of approximation is a little more involved in general, and especially in these discrete logical spaces, than it would be expedient for people in a hurry to tangle with right now.  I will just say that there are ''naive'' or ''obvious'' notions and there are ''sophisticated'' or ''subtle'' notions that we might choose among.  The later would engage us in trying to construct proper logical analogues of Lie derivatives, and so let's save that for when we have become subtle or sophisticated or both.  Against or toward that day, as you wish, let's begin with an option in plain view.
