Inverse Semantics:

Knowledge is also always a potential Question.Overcome the actual system boundaries by introducing new ideas.Our Mind is a real open system – be proud of it and use it!

Wolf Singer: the architecture of the brain as a model for complex cities.

In the beginning only few system elements: hierarchical, centralized top-down-structures (villages, prehistoric live).

Optimization of Information flows, minimization of energy consumption: self organization of unit components (i.e. networks of streets, people, local centers) „binding problem“.

Construct cities not as a whole (Brasilia), <Reasoning> of self organization

Internet as a model of brain structure ?

The „Binding problem“: not only true for „Gestalt“, but also for Organization (Central Power vs.

Decentralized Democracy)

1.2 Inverse Semantics - the Risked Reason

Philosophical Anthropology (physicians in the 18. and 19. century): Man is not the triumphing creature - running from victory to victory. A lot of defects can be shown on Man in comparison to animals. But Man is able to compensate those defects with his mind. With this concept of ”homo compensator” (Odo Marquard) the strengths and defects of human evolution can be characterised.

The Risked Reason: - appearance of the black wall of the future

- Semantic stability of knowledge becomes a problem

2.4 Knowledge Emergence within the “Pig Cyle”

Neueren Arbeiten zufolge wurden die Pyramidenbauer aus der aegyptischen Bevölkerung rekrutiert. Neuartig war allerdings die Erfindung eines entsprechend umfassenden „Arbeitssystems“, das selbst wiederum zum Wissensaufbau in der Bevölkerung beitrug.

Organisation und Installierung von Machtstrukturen als exteriorialisierte Körperlichkeit

1.1 Introduction: Semantic Gravitation and Resonance

On the one hand

– since 20 - 50 k years we perceive technological innovations, which sustainable change ourselves and create our culture

improved hunting by the invention of modern diversified techniques, also by the organization of time (i.e. table of moon phases)

invention of agriculture: invention of culture

built pyramids

Invent democracy (distributed knowledge organization)

took less then a decade to invent moon rocket

Takes a half-century for politicians to peacefully create better institutions like the EU and the € Euro.

1.1 Introduction: Semantic Gravitation and ResonanceThe Will to Word – an Explosive Concept

Page 25


On the other hand

– since 20 - 50 k years technological innovations, which pushed us dramatically in problem areas

“Overkill” in north america.

Anything that disrupts food for urban populations risks a spectacular crash.

End of Egyptian culture due to inflexibility in their centralized cultural organization (“mega-machine”).

Took less then a decade to invent atomic bomb.

Concepts of “Artificial Intelligence” never succeeded as promised.

“Capitalism unmasked” (Noam Chomsky): Risk of re-invention of mega-machine (centralized knowledge organization)

– William H. Calvin: We’re recently risen apes, you realize that there simply hasn’t been much time in which to evolve a less buggy version 2.0.

– Out of Africa occurred too soon after creative intelligence evolved in Africa.

Example „standing waves“:

- Completely new problem situation

- Important measurement error

- Follow up process with undefined Tolerances

Solution:

- Activation of tacit, implicit Knowledge from

unconnected Experience Contexts

- Overcoming the actual boundaries of the

Cognitive System by inventing new “idea”

- i.e. introduction of a anti reflexion layer
