The Chinese Challenge :: 中国挑战

"The Chinese Challenge"-Teamblog is opening up a discussion about a possible new rationality hidden in the Chinese writing. The main question is: What can we learn from China that China is not teaching us? It is proposed that a study of polycontextural logic and morphogrammatics could be helpful to discover this new kind of rationality. Those topics of polycontexturality are presented at my website and at the complementary Blog Rudy's Diamond Strategies. Start with the "Pamphlet".

Part II:

How to get rid of glue? From gluing to jumping. A new abstraction, the as-abstraction, and a subversion, the morpho-abstraction, has to be risked to avoid the complicity of category theory with the unavoidable exploitation of (conceptual) resources by the Western approach to interaction and communication in computer science.

To overcome the limitations of the category “glue”, contexturalization and mediation in a chiastic and diamond framework has to be elaborated and achieved to create chances to surpass and subvert such cultural and technological limitations.

A proper hello from John Powers in Western Pennsylvania :-)

When I saw my name my thoughts conjured up this cartoon--as in "Oh no I'm wrong on the Internet again!"

It's a bit galling for people in the know to contend with no-nothings like me on the Internet. Your work is a big jump for me. Still I keeping coming around.

I often engage with people who think along the lines of "New Age" sort of thinking. But very often that sort of thinking proceeds from ingrained western notions of the "one." Not that I'm particularly conversant in the fundamentals of western philosophy, but there's something that seems amiss.

I surely don't understand contextures and polycontectural logic, but seem to get clues to ways of thinking that don't seem quite so amiss.

I'm happy that I pointed a blogger to your essay because I do imagine he is better able to understand it than I and indeed the essay is relevant to the problems of decay of online social networks he's working on.

I'm sorry if my reference to your work in anyway seemed to denigrate it. No offense was intended, merely that my ignorance was showing.

"The Logic of the Bailout Strategy " ein erfreulich schöner Text, ein Lichtblick für mich in diesen Tagen, an denen die trüben Tassen der Wirtschaftstheorie eine Ideologie nach der anderen produzieren.

Schreibe viel viel mehr, Rudolf, Gruß Franz
