Alan and empyrians,

Semiotic morphism was originally developed as a way to translate 
between different types of Graphic User Interface design. Different 
types of interface design can represent the same information, and this 
process can occur automatically via an algorithmic process - the 
'content' and the representation are separated.

In Semiomorph (http://iconica.org/artefact/) this idea is applied to an 
electronic space which is represented as a third person digital game. 
All of the game elements may be represented as either text, diagrams, 
icons or simulation (the 'natural'  mode of game spaces - realism).

Of course, it may potentially be applied to a wide range of possible 
systems - such as those you have described. The key element is that the 
system can be described in mathematical / symbolic terms so that it can 
be defined in terms of functions, variables etc.

Troy.
