Incidentally, a further thought regarding Joanna's video clip (having established my own narrative for how these things work, it's easy to forget that these thoughts are unfamiliar to most people):
Every organism must contend with infinite possibility. This is strongly evident in the newborn where hands reaching into space and eyes darting here and there are trying to anchor to a reference point... a reference point that will continue to wire its brain as it interacts with the world. As per Joanna's video clip, the mother plays a crucial role in this anchoring to a cultural reference point. More specifically, the mother plays a crucial role in knowing how to be. sj -----Original Message----- From: Howard Pattee [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 11 September 2014 8:57 PM To: Jon Awbrey; Stephen Jarosek Cc: [email protected]; 'Peirce List' Subject: Re: [PEIRCE-L] Re: Knowing how to be - through t he eyes of a child At 09:42 AM 9/11/2014, Jon wrote: >Stephen, >Back in the early 90s I used to consult on statistics and computing for >nurse researchers at a medical school (http://nursing.utmb.edu/) and >"mother-infant communication" was one of their major research areas.
