Gregory Bateson on Mistakes - Dictionary of Arguments
I 371 Mistake/Bateson: two types: Type A: an organism can correctly use information that tells it from what set of alternatives to choose. Afterwards, it can happen that it chooses the wrong alternative. Type B: the organism chooses from the wrong set of alternatives. Now two sets of alternatives can have common elements.

This form of error inevitably reinforces itself. >Reference classes, >Reference systems, >Delusions, cf. >Causal theory of knowledge, cf. >Barn facades._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
