Gerhard Vollmer on Systems - Dictionary of Arguments
II 92 System/Projection/Vollmer: Thesis: so the projective model explains the apparent incompatibility of different properties such as mind and physique as different aspects of the same thing. This is not a throwback to the postulation of an unknown substance. >Aspects, >Substance, >Spirit, >Physis. Solution: System concept of the system theory/Vollmer: E.g. diamond/graphite: made of the same carbon atoms, but made of different structures. - E.g. diamond/silicon: same structure, different components. (Here silicon) - No component is logically pre-structured. - This shows how little is gained by the knowledge of the components. Cf. >Analysis, >Systems theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
