Ross indexed the following pages under the keyword: "Dependence".

Summary: (1) It is impossible to say how much one variable depends on another. (2) The meaning of "dx'i/dxk" is given. (3) The Question "Does xi depend on xk" is meaningless. (4) New form of matrix test for dominance is given. (5) Definitions given of (a) xi-t curve depends on x0k, (b) xi-t curve is independant of x0k, (c) xi dominates xk, (d) "parameter". Summary: I have decided in future to end the Sections with a Summary. It may perhaps force rather more tidiness into the ideas and will be useful for reference.

Summary: An organisation with n variables and m parameters has two separate complexities. Subject to conditions, m describes the number of coordinates in the space in which the neutral point moves, when m=n we have a 'transative' state. Neutral point (of equilibrium - including 'cycle', 'region' etc.) control of Dependence test for Dominance test for Independence test for Substitution (mathematical) reducibility 0985 0986

Summary: Isomorphism between machines. Summary: Distinguishability correspond to dependence. Dependence = distinguishability Distinguishability and dependence Distinguishability tends to fall The Multistable System [80]: The theory dependencies is that of distinguishabilities 4559. Epistemology [31]: Distinguishability is related to dependence 4559. 4558 4559
