The human mind attempts to seek & maintain the various ecologies upon which it must rely. Of course, this means multi-goal orchestration in lieu of numerous shifting contextual backdrops. The repertoire of established sensibilities - or library of acquired acumen (FES), spell out the relative impetuses of the system's "efficacious capabilities." Integral to all of these ongoing & somewhat protean processes, is the acquired ability to achieve reliable & viable FOCUS: Our model achieves focus via the implementation of an OCTAHEDRAL MATRIX. As we present the various "level one" operative cyber-system concepts - which are, by necessity of "semantic carriage," nebulous, archetypal, ubiquitous "primitives," we engage the octahedral matrix to facilitate this need.
The structural dynamics of this 'platonic' allow for eight legitimate "families" of holistic and complementary perspectives to be entertained. The more "perspectives" the cyber-system is able to entertain, the greater the reliability, in theory, of the established sensibilities. Moreover, it should be noted that all the system concepts that comprise any focus make up three sets of complementary dialectics - NOT oppositional or "Hegelian," as oppositional dialectics are meant to be considered only at the cognitive level and not the meta-cognitive. >>A good example of misplaced oppositional dialectics can be reviewed in C.H. Waddington's book, "Tools for Thought." >>>As a further aside, we feel compelled to assert that this is in NO way to be seen as a criticism of this man's wonderful, ground- breaking contributions to the science of systems analysis & theory. The dialectics he established for the mechanical review of "Moral Philosophy" were understandable, given his pioneering status, and this book should be seen as one of the "primers" for anyone seriously considering investigations of system behaviors. Our adulation for this great thinker could take up a whole post, but perhaps at a later time - we're sure that those acquainted with his writings, would concur. For brevity's sake, I encourage anyone interested to review our blog's entry that's entitled "The Pivotal Role of Epistemology" in which an example of "level one" complementary dialectics , i.e., process & structure, are displayed at the end of the entry. Check out "Time to Think" at http://collectiveintellect.blogspot.com this should give you a foundational understanding of "focus," as we explore the "COIAS" (see my last discussion thread) referred to as Recursive Dimensional BOUNDEDNESS, or "RDB."
