evolving systems: conversational intersections (Oct 09)

The core group and open conversations each have their own idiosyncratic character and concerns but both seem to me to be wrestling in interestingly different ways with the common problem of how to understand and intersect the objective and the subjective, meaninglessness and meaning, the emergent and the "intentional."  Cf.  Meaning: declining the end run and offering an alternative, Clarifying intentionalities, and From ambiguity to skepticism to social conventions.   In an intriguing way, what seems to me to be evolving is a story of "objectivity," "meaning," and "intentionality" all emerging from and dependent on interpersonal reciprocity.  It may seem odd to have "objectivity" in this list, but see The objectivity/subjectivity spectrum: having one's cake and eating it too
