I heard it rumored around n'orleans that some clarification of "object" could
be possible on xmca. Given that one of L*'s paper on boundary objects
(institutional ecology...) does not reference Leont'ev, we could assume the
L* boundary "object" to be distinct from the Leont'ev "object". I suspect
that there is more than just a coincidence in words and a difference in
paradigm here. Can it just be the case that a boundary object is an artifact
shared between/among activity systems? Could it really be that simple? Or
is there more? If so, what? What can we draw upon to decide?
