Hi Moffers,
------------------
Art explores the conceptually unknown creating patterns that make the
conceptually unknown intelligible (?)
Science covers measurable (intelligible) patterns that arise from the
conceptually unknown trying to incorporate them in the conceptually known
through the creation of new static patterns (?) concepts (?)
(I wrote this yesterday.. I think that what I meant is better shown below (I
imagine a flux from left to right) - yet, I think science should contact
with the conceptually unknown)
conceptually unknown ----- (ART) ------ conceptually known ----- (SCIENCE)
----- conceptually coherent
------------------
It still makes sense to me to include the fluxes between the 4 layers in
both directions. What's your opinion?
------------------------------------
Do you think that we can include science and art in the diagram?
--------------------------------------
assumptions: pattern of value = concept
static quality = conceptually known
dynamic quality = conceptually unknown
... what do you think?
How can we measure the quality (static) of an organization of value
patterns?
1. Through the harmony between them.
COESION - avoiding the contradictions - these are lower inside each of the 4
layers than betweeen them, and are still lower inside a slice of the layer
("the knifes"!) (ex: a certain social structure (as church, school, family)
has less contradictions than the ones between different social structures.
2. Through the harmony with dynamic quality.
ADAPTABILITY
If these patterns=concepts are in harmony with the dynamic quality, i.e.,
the new data does not contradict the concepts.
If these patterns can be easily adapted to new, contradictory data.
3. Through the harmony with previous static patterns.
STABILITY
If the change in static patterns is frequent and drastic, what trust can we
have on the new patterns of value?
4. ...?
to continue, I would need to know the goal of an organization of value
patterns, but that's not very clear right now..
------------------------------------
Is any of this "of quality"?
Cheers,
Joćo
