Un dieu donne le feu
Pour faire l'enfer;
Un diable, le miel
Pour faire le ciel.
TRACTATUS PARADOXICO-PHILOSOPHICUS
| 5 | The logical perspective: from this perspective one or more observers distinguish an organizationally closed unity from its cognitive domain, thereby adopting the logical dichotomy: the distinguished organizationally closed unity or the distinguished cognitive domain, one or the other. |
| 5.1 | For these observers, dimensions (e.g., space, time) emerge together with this distinction. |
| 5.11 | So do a processor (the distinguished organizationally closed unity) and an environment (the distinguished cognitive domain). |
| 5.12 | For these observers, however, these distinctions appear as “discoveries” (of dimensions, processor and environment) to share with other observers adopting a logical perspective, in a world a priori “out there” and as free of paradoxes as possible. |
| 5.2 | If these observers attempt to “explain” the processor, it will appear to them as an open organization (with inputs, outputs, divisions and parts) made of processes (events in time) that produce components (objects in space), but no longer organizationally closed. |
| 5.21 | The organizations that constitute the environment of the processor also appear open, with outputs and inputs that match the inputs and outputs of the processor. |
| 6 | The paradoxical perspective: from this perspective, one or more observers do not distinguish the organizationally closed unity from its cognitive domain such that the unity and its cognitive domain appear to these observers as a paradoxical continuum or as a paradoxical context. |
| 6.01 | For these observers, dimensions, processor and the environment vanish. |
| 6.1 | Since a paradoxical perspective implies a paradoxical and logical perspective, these same observers may make tentative distinctions in this paradoxical context as attempts at distinguishing a world “in and out there” to share, at least in part, with other observers. |
| 6.11 | This world “in and out there” welcomes paradoxes. |
| 6.12 | The paradoxical context (the unity and its cognitive domain) remains untouched and ready for new attempts. |
| 6.2 | Paradoxes (paradoxical perspective): consider self-referential sets of different, even conflicting, possibilities such that they blend into each other dissolving their differences and conflicts. |
| 6.3 | Logics (logical perspective): consider non self-referential sets of conflicting possibilities that exclude each other without solving their differences and conflicts. |
