Baraldi I 184
Structures/Luhmann/GLU: unlike autopoiesis (sic): structures are permanent. - They serve the selection of relations.
>
Autopoiesis.
Also, the selection of selections. - Structures do not consist of elements. - (Element: of systems: without duration).
>
Events/Luhmann.

AU Cass 5
Structure/System Theory/LuhmannVsTradition: The structures only work at the moment and for the duration, when the system operates.
Tradition: assumed, structures are the enduring, processes pass.
Structures are expectations in relation to connectivity of operations.
>
Operation/Luhmann.
If the structure concept defines expectations, the subject/object distinction is insignificant.
Cf. >
Subject/Object-Problem.

AU Cas 5
Structure/Luhmann: a system can choose from many structures. - E.g. Language: is not limited to one sentence. - The operations of the system require structures. - Subsequently both are dependent on each other.
>
Language/Luhmann.

AU Cass 14
Structure/tradition/Luhmann: earlier, structures were considered as something permanent. - Structuralism/Levi-Strauss: new: there will be a cognitive, analytical element added: structures are also knowledge conditions.
Subject of knowledge can also be science.
Not everything can be connected to everything.
Structures are often defined through expectations, but it would be better if that works differently - but how? - Expectations are too subjective.
Cf. >
Subjectivity.

AU Cas 14
Structure/Luhmann: structures should not be assumed as unchangeable. - It is not just about the distinction before/after, but about the determination about processes.
How to distinguish structure and process?
Structure: is only real in the moment of use.
Reality: only the operations themselves.
>
Reality/Luhmann, >
Operation/Luhmann.
So the system theory of the distinction between structure/process is taken out. - Advantage: then systems are not composed of two elements (structure and event).
>
Event/Luhmann.
Structure: clarifies how an operation connects to the other.
AU Cass 14
Structure/Luhmann: arises from the mixed requirements of specification and generalization.
>
Generalization, >
Specification.
