Example 23 Example 23. Timing machine model of boiling an egg. This is an example of a physical algorithm. Forces must be applied to objects. Objects occupy regions of spacetime.
Forces change over time.
Nothing in timing machinery has continuity over time. So, continuously varying force is not directly possible. However, signals might represent impulses and a stream of closely spaced signals that produce impulses could be integrated to produce time-varying force. If so, this would fit the origination of timing machinery in the action potential and its spatiotemporal summation. Even if that works out, one still wants a very schematic diagram with a being that sends a signal to an object to move it.
