Humberto Maturana on Imagination - Dictionary of Arguments
I 88 Example: two houses are built by two groups, one group has a plan, the other only has words like "house", "pipes", etc. The final result is the same for both groups. However, the second group has no idea of the house. For an observer, the second house lies only in his cognitive house, the characteristics of the house lie also only in his cognitive realm, the first also in the cognitive realm of the workers. Coding: is different in both cases: in the first case the house is coded by the book with the instructions, in the second case a process. One would never find any isomorphism with the description in these codes. >Isomorphism, >Description/Maturana, >Code, >Description levels, >Process/Flux._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
