Maybe I've missed something, but the subsumption I mentioned (referring to Bateson) was not between A, B and C: these are co-existent interacting dynamics as I understand them, and certainly a very rigorous and powerful generative model.
I was worrying about subsumption of Bateson's "imagination" into "rigour".... Loet's model does have 'imagination' in it in the generation of redundancies. But does it include the human imagination capable of conceiving a model of itself? I wonder if a possible answer to the question lies in Loet's work. Human embodiment is a constraint which an abstract rigorous model can never have. Within dynamics of mutual redundancy, won't the complexities of mutual redundancies of embodied existence will always outweigh the mutual redundancies that can be abstractly modelled? best wishes, Mark On Wed, Oct 14, 2015 at 9:32 PM, Robert E.
