It means, you see, that I now localize something which I am calling "Mind" immanent in the large biological system—the ecosystem. Or, if I draw the system boundaries at a different level, then mind is immanent in the total evolutionary structure. If this identity between mental and evolutionary units is broadly right, then we face a number of shifts in our thinking.
First, let us consider ecology. Ecology has currently two faces to it: the face which is called bioenergetics—the economics of energy and materials within a coral reef, a red-wood forest, or a city—and, second, an economics of information, of entropy, negentropy, etc. These two do not fit together very well precisely because the units are differently bounded in the two sorts of ecology. In bioenergetics it is natural and approp... (查看原文)

不好读，作者是一个通才型选手，导致他科研均衡用力而成就不那么高，这本书名声在外，主要还是讲我们创造了一个我们感知的世界，乃至忽略了真实的世界。

双重束缚的追根溯源还得在这本里找，在贝特森这里同时是meta层面的交流机制，精神分裂的病理，生命进化跃升的关键，系统心智复杂性的体现。

"Part 1: Metalogues" are the best among the dialogue genre....perhaps only second to Plato and Galileo....

用元对话式的文学断片和近似博物学的材料构造mind的控制论模型，以说明个体、社会和生态环境之间的coupling。昆虫、鲸鱼、砍树、酗酒、凡尔赛合约、环保主义者皆是题中之义，反控制的控制论者相互结盟。但要质疑复杂系统理论的外延，太过广博容易流于空泛或被逆炼；不要屈从于再造上帝的诱言，先知神棍一念间。
