Detail: Representational systems can focus attention on environment or self regions or intervals. They can extract information from environment, represent information accurately to useful detail, and use information for function. These representational abilities can evolve from simpler state. Representation does not indicate anything about representational system and cannot represent itself.
Minimum representational system has more than one information channel, whose inputs converge, and has way to use or store converged output.
However, one channel can contain as much information as two channels, if it has enough capacity. Serial-processing algorithm can be equivalent to parallel-processing algorithm. Input can be equivalent to converged inputs. Relying only on representational-system physical characteristics cannot explain representation, because representation is informational, rather than physical.
