Reflection, from the Latin reflectere, has the meaning of turning back, and it regards the projective rotative systemic activity of the agents, of any agents, be these agents: particle, field, atom, molecule, cell, animal, person, or thing, ens or entitas. This activity being connected to the respective strategies and effectivenesses, entangled in the computation and exchanges with the environment, included in the computation/production of deliberative judicative valorative syntheses.
Reflexivity, from the Latin reflexu, means folded on itself, and it is a dispositional systemic rotative capability that allows the agents and/or the systems the direct valorative cognitive processing of themselves, from the causes, or originating formative reasons to which each system directs itself intentionally with the objective of producing (re)evaluative deliberative judicative valorative syntheses.
Reflexibility is an intrinsic dispositional systemic property, common to all things, as existing things and, because of that, rotatively present in their own light, in themselves, to themselves and by themselves.
The reflexibility is in the things themselves: ens or entitas, and has to do with the visibility or perception of these same things, ens or entitas, as a proper mode of being, a character, while things that show themselves, make their apparition (aparecem) and seem (parecem), in their visibility. All the things have the power, as a capability, of showing, of reflecting their own light, their own truth, that which they are, that which they do, and in those, ens or entitas, that are gifted of thought, speech and will, that which they think, want, desire.
