The term "Covolution"
The term "covolution" combines the prefix "co-" with the root of "(e)volution," indicating joint unfolding. The "co-" prefix is deliberately loaded with several reinforcing meanings, each capturing one dimension of what covolution names.
"Co-" as coupling: cooperation between informational entities and their symvironments; co-evolution of horon and symvironment; co-development of structure and function; co-causality across organizational levels.
"Co-" as computation: structured (rather than random) exploration of possibility-space; constructive elaboration of switching architecture; cybernetic regulation through feedback.
"Co-" as convergence: condensation of information; convergent trajectories through attractor-channeled, para-determined possibility-space.
Each reading is intended. Covolution names a process in which all are simultaneously at work, and the choice of "co-" as the loaded prefix is deliberate semantic loading, not etymological derivation.
