Good suggestion! I will be mindful of this in the future. Thanks.

Oh my!

it may be time to recognize complexity as a verb, something we do rather than something we encounter.

Organizations do not learn. People do.

Nicely put.

The below concepts are imo.

-The change in system structure → structural coupling / structural change
-The resulting capacity to distinguish → structural readiness
-The activation/use of that capacity → information
-The integration of distinction into meaningful experience or action → transduction

Distinction is not the same as information. Distinction is the structural capacity to register difference, shaped by structural coupling. Information arises when that capacity is engaged & the difference is transduced into system’s own domain of meaning. Capacity can exist w/o immediate information

In your yellow–green example, the system’s structure has already changed through history so that the distinction is possible. The “first” experience of yellow is not the creation of the distinction but the first use of it. So, Distinction is the readiness and information is its activation.

The experience of “green” is an internal, operationally closed event. Wavelengths do not say “green.” The organism’s framework experiences them as green. To do this, it must already distinguish green from non-green. The distinction is the condition for the information.

Distinction leads to information, and information feeds back to refine our distinctions. The same distinction can yield different information at different times because our history shapes what the distinction means to us.
