Dear Ana, you captured quite well what I meant by the horizontal dimension
of development. You wrote:

"...it is not just a cognitive dissonance that drives the construction of
meaning and developemnt, and it is not just appropriation of the cognitive
tools, it is also a drama of conflicting social realtionships."

I agree. Only instead of 'social relationships' I would emphasize different
and conflicting 'social contexts' or 'social worlds', which in themselves
include different instru-mentalities.
