The chapter also discusses the distinction between process and procedure and the several technical processes that are involved (e.g., integration process, transition process, validation process, etc.).
We propose that Georgescu-Roegen's The Entropy Law and the Economic Process is best understood as the elaboration of a general theory of economic production and we developed two conceptual tools (time and meta-funds), both of which are related to the dialectical distinction between process and not-process, which we use to operationalise this general theory.
In addition, it offers a topological perspective of the intersection of the more delicate distinction of process types and the system of Agency.
Through problematization, we review the distinctions between process and variance approaches and examine such distinctions to show that these approaches sometimes overlap and can be combined.
Also, the question concerning how long a regularity must persist raises philosophical difficulties about degrees which need answering before we have an adequate distinction between processes and spatiotemporal junk.
These labels highlight the crucial distinction between processes engaged in tasks for which the goal is to provide an overt estimate of elapsed time (explicit timing) as opposed to tasks in which the goal is non-temporal but can, nevertheless, be facilitated by an (apparently incidental) temporal context (implicit timing).
The distinction between processes of care and patient outcomes was highlighted clearly by one participant.
This is due to the clear distinction between processes and structures as well as the restrictions to qualitative changes in space.
Many other theoretical perspectives on WM exist [ 4], but one area of general agreement is the distinction between processes involving storage (e.g., short-term memory; STM) and those involving greater cognitive control (e.g., central executive).
A further limitation of the Boolean formalism, particularly when focusing on logical steady state analysis with no distinction between processes of different time scales, is the difficulty of incorporating negative feedback loops.
