Ian:
What you also have highlighted again, and I hope Mark
is noting too, is simply the distinction between
** the conceptualised ideas (overall an intellectual
pattern),
** its language of representation (an arrangement of
diagrams and words with semantic definitions) and
** its medium of expression (e-mail, graphics, font,
ink on paper, carved in stone)
Ian.
Hello Ian,
I've been trying to see what you are after and i
suggest an answer may be to introduce a secondary sq
ontology. Maybe not! ;)
Any given Secondary sq ontology is constructed by
higher levels from lower levels.
You provide an examples:
"...its (intellectual pattern) medium of expression
(e-mail, graphics, font, ink on paper, carved in
stone)"
Stone is primary sq inorganic patterns (geology).
Carved stone may be regarded as a secondary sq
inorganic patterns (writing - social or intellectual).
Following on from this:
Ink is a secondary sq pattern, as is paper.
Written word transforms these again (graphics, font).
Terminology becomes problematic here, but there is a
'downward' hierarchy of value influence, which is
moral.
E-mail is a sophisticated mass/energy relationship of
secondary sq inorganic patterns.
There are examples of degeneracy; shell degenerates
into chalk which becomes rock. Chalk may be used to
write E = Mc2.
Mark
