From my next post in the works:

7.1 The description cannot step outside the language that gives it form.
7.2 The world does not require these distinctions. We do.
….
7.6 Our knowledge is therefore never of things-in-themselves, only of the distinctions we impose.

#CyberneticConstructivism

When we come to value epistemic humility, we see that we do not see what we do not see. #CyberneticConstructivism

Hat tip to HvF.

It is not the world that informs us. It is we who, through our distinctions, in-form the world.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You are the Copernican revolution. The observer is not the center of the universe, but every observation necessarily has them at its center.

This is the illusion of completeness in the right thing, the comforting belief that something can be fully correct. It persists because thought gives us a sense of closure that reality cannot guarantee.

1/2 From evolution, we see that Survival does not require absolute truth. It requires adequacy. Nervous systems evolved to attenuate complexity, not to copy it. #CyberneticConstructivism

1/3 #CyberneticConstructivism begins with an observation that is both simple and profound. The world contains an immense amount of variety, far more than any organism can manage. To regulate a system, a regulator must have at least as much variety as the system it controls.

Responsiveness is not a product of prediction alone. It emerges from vulnerability, concern, and the need to maintain coherence amid complexity. Without their own stakes in the world machines may simulate participation, but they do not truly engage. #AI #CyberneticConstructivism

1/2 Linear thinking comes easy for us because it is cognitively economical. To cope with overwhelming complexity, we rely on abstractions, much like logarithmic shortcuts that reduce multiplication to mere addition. #CyberneticConstructivism

Observer-independent reality may exist, but observer-centered framing is vital for sensemaking and action. The observer is truly king.

1/3 When the time comes, can I do the right thing? This is an interesting question, because the “right thing” is a fiction. I use the word fiction to emphasize that it is not something objectively out there in the world. It is something we must decide for ourselves. #CyberneticConstructivism

Those who accuse cybernetic constructivism of anthropocentrism, solipsism or relativism often project their own dogmas. The ones most insistent on “access to reality” tend to slip into absolutism or anthropocentrism themselves. #CyberneticConstructivism begins with epistemic humility, not certainty.
