Humberto Maturana on Existence - Dictionary of Arguments
I 14 Existence/Maturana: there are two areas: 1. physicality 2. Relations The two do not overlap. I 15 Existence arises only from the operation of distinction by an observer. >Operation/Maturana. I 141 Existence/reality/Maturana: as the only one remains the observer - and he only if he is observed himself. >Ontology, >Observation. I 213 Existence/Maturana: without observers nothing exists - and for the observer everything exists what exists in explanations. >Explanation/Maturana. Nothing is ahead of the distinction of one self - E.g. recognition of mother - E.g. bubble chamber - any distinction specifies a domain of existence - (a verse in the multiverse). >Domains/Maturana._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
