A original topographic model for the direct networks evaluation is presented at the beginning. This model is based on the contour patterns of structural and functional states of agglomeration and, consequently, on the network structural and functional reliefs. The reliefs help to evaluate networks, especially those non-homogenous (at links) and/or asymmetrical. Networks non-homogeneity and asymmetry lead to a superior property, the reconfiguration, a kind of "structural dynamism". Conscience simulation, the final aim of this paper, demands transcending the present limits of computability, by an intensive effort on extensive research to integrate essential physical and mathematical knowledge guided by philosophical goals. A way to begin is hierarchical simulation. Applying Divide et Impera et Intellige to hierarchy types, using the formalism of categories, reveals their comprehensive constructive importance based on structural approach, symbolic meaning, object-oriented representation.
