A critical transition in the development of a system is reached when components of state are set aside internally or assimilated from the environment to make relatively irreversible changes, indelible marks to record experiences and note intentions.  Where in the dynamics of a system do these signs reside?  In what nutations of equilibrium does the system insinuate its libraries of notation, the tokens of passed, pressing, and prospective moments of experience?  What parameters are concretely set as memorials to the results of observations performed, the outcomes of actions observed, and the plans of action contemplated to provide the experience of desired effects?  What bank accumulates all the words coined and spent on sights and deeds?  What mint guarantees the content and determines the form of their first impressions?
