These two conceptions (ENC and EXD) can also be characterized by the analysis in each case of the “Intelligent” activity of substantiation in the sense of acquiring the capacity to name, to create a signifying noun, which in the extension of the notion of place amounts to designating a formal locality. This is the fundamental capacity of human intelligence in relation to language which consists of designating – as a set of coherent properties modeled and identified by Intelligence – an object, a set of objects or a phenomenon of the system by a common noun, verb or adjective that denotes it. In the case of the exo-distributive model, this activity will first seek to be thought of as accurate, because it is descriptive of what is unequivocally observed and interpreted from the outside. The causal relationship (cause/effect and effect/cause) will be considered objective and not subject to interpretation. Deterministic evolutionary equations will be considered accurate within a specific range of validity. In the endo-contributive case, on the other hand, the activity of substantiation cannot be isolated from the system itself. The modeling of the system creates the system. There is an intrinsic recursivity to the so-called “Intelligent” activity. The subject creates the phenomenon or the object as interpretation and therefore substantiation, which in turn creates the subject as part of the system which is characterized by the phenomena.

It is important to note that in real life, the systems encountered will, for the most part, be hybrids of these two conceptions, notably depending on the scale at which we will be conceiving or observing them.
