Languaging
What happens when two Autopoietic systems perturb one another over a period of time?
This is the basis for language: behavioural coordination through mutual and recursive structural change.
An interesting thought is that under this theory, language necessarily arises given certain sorts of agents. 'Behavioural coordination' is used to reflect the way in which two mutually perturbing systems affect one another's structure, which in turn affects the sort of behaviour that they manifest. 'Recursive' is used to reflect an ongoing cycle, where each structural state of each of the systems arises as a result of the cumulative effects of all the previous interactions. Maturana and Varela use the term 'languaging' to capture the nature of language as an ongoing and situated activity.

Entrance - Rilke
Whoever you are: go out at evening,
leaving your room, where everything is familiar;
between you and the distance lies your house:
whoever you are.
With tired eyes, that scarcely pull themselves
up and away from the warn-down threshold
you slowly lift up one black tree
and place it against the sky: slim. alone.
And you have made the world. And it is large
and like a word that's ripening in silence.
And as your will takes in the sense of it,
your eyes can gently let it go...

“一旦最后一个音符被听见以后，达致最后一个音符得前面所有得音符都被映照明白，具有新意义：那些前行的音符所在追寻的，再也不会被视为是随意而为了，而是一种准备工作替那个想像不到的结束方式做准备。
或许，这也就是旅行的本质吧。”

Surrounding Structure
through surrounding structure
we order
make sense of the
world
stagnation and isolation
also rise from
too much structure
too strong a hold of the
past on the future

Why Universality?
He suggested that there are three species-wide cognitive Interests:
(1) interests in control of the physical world.
(2) understanding in the social and linguistic world.
(3) self-development and emancipation in our personal world.
(3) Justifies our desire to free ourselves from social situations that are oppressive.
Most societies have been oppressive and as such distort both our individual understanding of the world and our collective scientific knowledge. Thus individuals are not necessarily in a position to make free and rational choices.
