Spencer Brown’s Reentry is a great way to look for cognitive blind spots.

it may be time to recognize complexity as a verb, something we do rather than something we encounter.

Wittgenstein’s Ladder in Complexity: Why We Need Tools We Must Abandon
My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them as steps to climb beyond them. (He must, so to…

Instead of asking "how do we get people to serve the organization's purpose," we need to ask "how do we create conditions where each person's independent viability contributes to emerging patterns that enhance collective viability?" #Recursion #CyberneticLeadership

When we come to value epistemic humility, we see that we do not see what we do not see. #CyberneticConstructivism

seductive appeal of ontological frameworks lies in their promise of certainty. They offer false comfort of believing we can transcend our limitations as observers & access reality directly. this promise is precisely what makes them epistemologically arrogant

The below concepts are imo.

-The change in system structure → structural coupling / structural change
-The resulting capacity to distinguish → structural readiness
-The activation/use of that capacity → information
-The integration of distinction into meaningful experience or action → transduction

Distinction is not the same as information. Distinction is the structural capacity to register difference, shaped by structural coupling. Information arises when that capacity is engaged & the difference is transduced into system’s own domain of meaning. Capacity can exist w/o immediate information

In your yellow–green example, the system’s structure has already changed through history so that the distinction is possible. The “first” experience of yellow is not the creation of the distinction but the first use of it. So, Distinction is the readiness and information is its activation.

The experience of “green” is an internal, operationally closed event. Wavelengths do not say “green.” The organism’s framework experiences them as green. To do this, it must already distinguish green from non-green. The distinction is the condition for the information.

Connecting the Dots… Reflections on the Toyota Production System

I have found that connecting dots across fields deepens our understanding of the subject at hand.

Distinction leads to information, and information feeds back to refine our distinctions. The same distinction can yield different information at different times because our history shapes what the distinction means to us.

The capacity to distinguish and the emergence of information are co-arising, not sequential. Saying one must come strictly before the other is like asking whether walking comes before balance or balance before walking. They evolve together in the context of embodied engagement.

If it was not clear… Making distinctions is a relational act. As Bateson observed, information is a difference that makes a difference… but to whom? He did not add that qualifier, but it is implied. For a difference to make a difference, there must be someone/cognitive system to whom it matters.

This isn’t anthropocentric in the sense of privileging humans. It applies to any observing system. The key insight is that information emerges relationally, between system and environment, rather than existing as a property of either alone.
