Embodying Einheit through Stimmigkeit

How is it possible to observe frames? Whatever difficulties may emerge during this investigation, we will certainly need a medium that is the same on both sides of the frame, on its inside and on its outside. I propose to call this medium meaning, and thereby exclude two other possibilities the world and truth

When the elements of an assemblage interact coherently with the environment, it leads to a phase transition resulting in a coalescing constitutive constraint regime. This regime operates as a set of second-order governing constraints, akin to a magnetic social attraction, and may serve as a tangible indicator of interoperability.

So what? - C2 implications

Catalyse and modulate for collaboration

  1. Inclusive PSM: Balancing resource utilization with the level of inclusion for heterogeneity.
  2. Facilitating the medium of shared meaning: Finding the right balance between the inclusion of diverse perspectives and the ability to synthesize them into a congruent meaning.
  3. Parallel probing for coherent cues: Encouraging local initiative without compromising the symbiosis of the whole.
  4. Catalyzers and modulators for Einheit & Stimmigkeit: Finding the balance between constructive synergetic divergence and destructive heterogeneity. 
  5. Seamless abstraction of meaning: How to prevent the distortion of interfaces between levels and peers.
