map, territory, mechanism
there is a map of mechanisms, and that particular map *is* a mechanism, but mechanisms tend to not be maps
don't mistake the map for the territory, or vice versa, but consider a third category: mechanisms can be copied, repositioned, connected. each instance of mechanism is a territory unto itself, and all mechanisms of a kind share a map.
if one treats the self *as* a mechanism, I think we could start generalizing tests
and of course we *do* (that's just healthcare), but I think... I think "Isaac" is a *kind*.

wake up

"wake up" like summoning whoever's ready to act
