Kauffman (1998) considers the structure of a step in the contexts of space, time and computation. A step can be regarded as a Distinction, coupled with the action of crossing from one side of that distinction to the other. By taking such an elementary consideration as our theme, we are able to bring together a very wide range of ideas and techniques under one roof and make connections among them. The present paper is an expanded version of Kauffman (1994).
