This paper is an exposition and extension of ideas begun in the work of G. Spencer-brown (laws of form) we discuss the relations between Conn and process, distinction and indication by the use of simple mathematical models. The key to the approach is the use of imaginary Boolean values. These are the formal analogs of complex numbers processes seen as timeless forms, then indicated (sell-referentially) and re-entered into the discourse that engendered them.
