Knowledge Paradigm
The shift from writing techniques to coding techniques in our civilization

"Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge"

Lao Tzu

"Playing a connective present can reflect more than prediction"

John F. Robert

Acknowledgment.

The fundamental perspectives presented on the subject are based on my understanding of the colossal, mind-bending and wonderful work of John F. Robert.

"This is not about presenting a new theory, or truth about reality, this is about symbolizing a new paradigm of hospitality for knowledge as connectivity" John F. Robert

From a representation paradigm to a presentation paradigm

The way we perceive, understand and relate to reality is conditioned by the techniques in use."When we were working with our hands on the soil, we thought that God created men from clay" 

In codification by writing, we have been concerned with the representation of the observed reality, being the symbolic a mirror between the imaginary of an observed reality and the real. We represent the "object" with symbols, and it's "persistency" is given by the "paper" (so persistency is not a concern). In codification by programming, we are concern with presenting the object, and sustaining its persistency in the flow. The mirror position moves to reality in front of the object as a reflection of the possible. We become expose to the ramification of the flow, to the open possible.

Alfred Korzybski in his studies about abstraction, and knowledge used the famous quote "The word is not the object" In the sense that words or symbols share no identity with the "object" they represent. Pointing that insanity is related to lack of awareness of this fact and the mechanisms of abstraction.

But now in coding technics we can say that the "word" is the "object"...the word (code) builds the object and it's persistency.

From a shamanic perspective, each spoken word or sound instantiates a new "visible" object, a key aspect of the practice of Magic.

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."

Heraclitus

By extracting the epistemic value behind coding techniques and software engineering, John is moving formal science to operative symbolization for any actors, for any implementation, bringing the imaginary of the world as an access domain to transactions, delivering  the genesis of the instant and the instances, from interfacing paths. The exploration domain handles the following questions.

  1. How to identify actors in the game of connectivity, whatever their natures are?

  2. How to derive the service of persistency, provided by any nature, from the service of flow?

  3. How to generically translate when nowhere a referential nature offers a learning semantics?

"Co-operative calculus, in contrast to operative calculus that require a common semantic and training that only a few can play, opens the game for any kind of sensibility to participate in the game" John F. Robert

The fields of knowledge to revisit and areas of impact this work implies are hard to enumerate. 

Here is a list of topics that would be impacted and revisited by this approach to knowledge.
