Distinction/observation/Luhmann: peculiar asymmetry: it does not work without two sides, it does not go without their unit, but it only works on one side and not at the same time on the other side.
If there were both sides be present at the same time, there would be no difference anymore.
Cf. >Asymmetry.
Transcendental philosophy/Kant/Luhmann: introduces it through the need for asymmetry: the conditions of empirical knowledge cannot be empirical conditions by themselves.

E.g. If you think about, that the seller must be seen business and not morally, you cannot ask the same time, what is the unity of the distinction between morality and business.
You cannot observe yourself in the moment of observation as someone who handles the distinction.
A reflection of the distinction is quite possible, but by another distinction. - E.g. We speak now of distinctions - but against a background of things that are not differentiated.
Cf. >Distinctions.
