Glossary of Defined Terms

Glossary of Defned Terms Ambiactive Processes and systems which simultaneously stimulate and suppress rates and sensitivities. Ambidextrous Able to use both hands equally well, that is, equally capable to perform complementary activities. Ambimodal Processes and systems which produce multiple outcome states, including diferent types of agentic modality. Ambiopic Processes and systems which combine nearsighted myopia and farsighted hyperopia. Augmented Signifcantly assisted by technologies and especially digital technologies. Compositive Methods or models which are composed and customized to suit diferent contexts and problems. Digitalization Te transformation of goal-directed processes through the appli- cation of digital technologies. Discontinuous Processes and systems with diferent levels which have signif- cant gaps between them. Dyssynchronous Processes and systems which cycle at diferent rates and are poorly synchronized. Entrogenous Mediators of in-betweenness, whereby systems develop and trans- form boundaries. Hyperactive Abnormally or extremely active. © Te Author(s) 2021 P. T.

Hyperopic Farsighted expansive processes, especially in sampling and search, the opposite of myopia. Hyperparameter Fundamental characteristics or attributes of metamodels, including their broad categories, relations, and mechanisms. Hypersensitive Abnormally or extremely sensitive. Maximize To partially rank order a set, and then choose a member of which is no worse any other members, given some evaluation criteria. Metaheuristic Simplifed means of selecting sets of related heuristics or models. Metamodel Te common features of a family or related set of models. Optimize To fully rank order a set, and then choose the member which ranks above all others.
