Bricolage Lévi-Strauss I 29
Definition Bricolage/Lévi-Strauss: uses materials that are out of line with those used by the specialist. The peculiarity of mythical thinking now consists in expressing oneself with the help of means whose composition is strange and which, although they are comprehensive, remain limited. Nevertheless, it must make use of them, whatever the problem is, because it has nothing else at hand. It thus appears to be a kind of intellectual craft. >Structure/Lévi_Strauss, >System/Lévi-Strauss, >Order/Lévi-Strauss, >Classification/Lévi-Strauss.
I 30
The rule of the game is to get along with what is at hand (for the craftsman) at all times, i. e. with a limited selection of tools and materials, which are also heterogeneous. The means of the craftsman are not determinable as in view of a project....; they can be determined only by their tool character..... Such elements are only half purposive.
I 32
Order/Structure/Bricolage: every choice (of the craftsman) entails a complete reorganization of the structure.
I 33
Knowledge: both the craftsman and the scientist are waiting for messages. For the craftsman, however, this has to be temporary in some way (like the rules for merchants, which allow to react to new situations). (See also Analogy/Lévi-Strauss).

Kauffman I 277
Gradualism/KauffmanVsGradualism/Kauffman: funktioniert bei zwei Modellen nicht: 1. maximal verdichtete Rechnerprogramme. Da diese völlig regellos sind, (keine Redundanz) ist die Fehlertoleranz gleich null. Jede Änderung wird das Ergebnis randomisieren.
2. NK-Landschaften: wenn sich die Zahl der Kopplungen K = N 1 annähert, gibt es immer weniger Regelmäßigkeit.
