Then we objectify it, i.e. replace the process, in reality or in our imagination, by an object.
Objectification is a kind of metasystem transition .
In objectification the new process controls not the old ones, but the objects representing these processes. The most usual form of objectification is definition. In mathematics, for instance, we define algorithms as computational processes which we expect to be executed in a certain fixed manner. The definition of an algorithmic process is an object, usually a text in some formal language. The semantics, i.e. the meaning, of the language is provided by a machine which executes the process in accordance with its definition.
