"Context: pattern through time"

Gregory Bateson Quotes
*****
A man walking is never in balance
but always correcting for imbalance
*****
A miracle is a materialist’s idea of how to escape from his materialism
A "switch" is Not except at the moments of its change of setting, and the concept "switch" has thus a special relation to Time. It is related to the notion "change" rather than to the notion "object."
All perception of difference is limited by threshold
Character: the system of interpretation which we place on the context we encounter
1. A mind is an aggregate of interacting parts or components.
2. The interaction between parts of mind is triggered by difference, and difference is a nonsubstantial phenomenon not located in space or time; difference is related to negentropy and entropy rather than to energy.
3. Mental process requires collateral energy.
4. Mental process requires circular (or more complex) chains of determination.
5. In mental process, the effects of difference are to be regarded as transforms. (i.e., coded versions) of events which preceded them. The rules of such transformation must be comparatively stable (i.e., more stable than the content) but are themselves subject to transformation.
6. The description and classification of these processes of transformation disclose a hierarchy of Logical types immanent in the phenomena.
