Hi Luiz, Thank you for your response. I think that I understand
the different genres of design that you are depicting (at least
the Taylorlistic and participatory depictions.) and again I agree
with the notion of dependence as inter-dependence and mutual
constituion, but I stubbornly maintain that both entities of the
dymanic are differnt and separate, lest you reduce them to being
the same. A "ISA" B doesn't work. Neither can enter the kind of
dymanics you depict. See it as "glue" if you like. the components
are stuck. No unfolding of each entity occurs. On the surface of
it otherwise, you can get a focus that says for example: The
adavances of neuro discoveries on synapses etc.. lead me to
believe that if we could put synapses into the computer chip we
would be a lot closer to human-computer interaction. Which to me
sounds really really, off. Both entities are stuck in a strange
possiblity that precludes essential difference between grey matter
and computer chip.

Bye for now
