We outline a model for a cognitive epigenetic system based on elements of the\nShannon theory of information and the statistical physics of the generalized\nOnsager relations. Particular attention is paid to the concept of the rate\ndistortion function and from another direction as motivated by the\nthermodynamics of computing, the fundamental homology with the free energy\ndensity of a physical system. A unifying aspect of the dynamic framework\ninvolves the concept of a groupoid and of a groupoid atlas. From a stochastic\ndifferential equation we postulate a multidimensional Ito process for an\nepigenetic system from which a stochastic flow may permeate through components\nof this atlas.\n
