A figure in a book review by Pille Bunnell in Cybernetics & Human Knowing. An Invitation to Creative Reflection
Small Arcs of Larger Circles: Framing Through Other Patterns
Via Nora Bateson
Also from Bunnell’s review:
Furthermore, all distinctions arise in context--situational, historic, and epistemological. It is very difficult to convey a meaning of a distinction that arises in a different epistemology than one that you are trying to communicate in. For example, in a constructivist, or constitutive epistemological view. That meanings that arise in a view that is dissonant with an accepted ontological reality is foreclosed, unless someone finds it of adequate interest to explore. An interest may be triggered by the dissonaces experienced by someone who lives two non-similar laguage groups or someone whose childhood epistemological frame differs from the cultural one they find themselves in, as Nora describes her experiences.
