Just a shot from the hip-- slightly related to some things I am thinking
about. I have a somewhat different take on it -- in a rapidly evolving
situation contradictions arise between systems as they were and as they
will be -- when for example, a top down initiated reorganization creates
waves of differences throughout the collective with admixtures of old and
new rules, distribution of labor, etc . Depending upon what role in the
organization one plays, at what time, any person may be encounter different
problems from another, perceiving some contradictions yet not others, as
the changes are implemented through the organization.
What caught my eye was " people cope by working within multiple frameworks
or "world views," maintained serially or in parallel." My gues is that the
distribution of cognition is not treated in R&W's formal theory of
classification. Not only do individuals work within multiple frameworks,
but what several may assume as a shared frameworkmay be rifted with the
unuttered and unresolved assumptions of each individual. In a rapidly
changing system (or loosly coupled set of systems) the communication may be
insufficient to recognize and resolve those differences before they lead to
trouble.
