e) order operation (krama-karaṇa) f) partial - destruction - operation (deśa-ghāti-karaña) g) subsidence-operation (upaśama-karaņa)
The KNS describes some more operations, as tract-operation (krsti-karana), etc.
The feedback operations are described as mentioned earlier. 3. Self-Regulation and Self-Reproduction
Both of the functions depend upon the eight-fold-way of the functionals (karmas), represented mathematically as shown earlier. Phases (Bhāvas) of five types, of the bios have the fundamental role to play in this connection, which are either dependent upon or independent of the functionals (karmas).
Communication of information for adoption of controls corresponding to various situations of bond, rise, termination of karma configurations (prakstis), at various way-ward (mārgaņā) stations (sthānas) has already been detailed earlier.
4. Linguistics
Exposition of the theory of functionals (karmas) in the Digambara Jaina School has been through three types of symbolism: numerical, algebraic and geometric froms. Place-value notation has been used for writing of numbers, subtraction and additions of quantities corresponding to factors. All these have formed fundamental TM tools expressions, which are mathematical.
The details of language and its function are contained in the theory of knowledge, where scriptural knowledge is concerned. This is also expressed through mathematical expressions.34
5. Calculation Mathematics
The mathematical contents of the Labdhisāra have been detailed earlier, versewise. There are several methods and procedures adopted by the Digambara Jaina School to handle them. A.N. Singhs as well
