Questions arising from the conference – re-typed by Michael Hohl and Thomas Fischer:
How should we act, learn and understand in order to act, learn and understand better?
Bill Olivier
What are the differences between acting – learning – understanding in individual etc. and system etc.?
anon
What just happened?
Bernard
How do I know when I/we see/have an adequate distinction of the difference between two distinctions, especially if, as I currently see, the new distinction evolves a new domain that is inherently different than that of either of the two being compared (in any given context)? And I hope to be able to change what I think later. Or put coyly: “What is the difference between two differences?”
Pille
What (ought to be) / are the ethical and political impacts of a CyberSystemic intervention? (Involving acting, learning and understanding)
Martin Reynolds
What is the function of un-learning (function of forgetting?) (function of loosing?) Does it exist? What is its value? How to become proficient in it? HOW TO LEARN TO UN-LEARN? Is this my real (how to learn to unlearn and to use un-learning? (proficiently)) question or is my real question in the doodles?
Jennifer Kanary
How can cybernetics make a difference to care for the ocean/sea/water and earth/land and air we breathe?
Peter Tuddenham
If becoming is understood as a chance what is unlearning?
MGPLN
Does knowledge about understanding, acting and learning increase the fun factor of understanding, acting and learning?
Astrid
How can I/we avoid damaging existing acting & learning through trying too hard to understand them (like the centipede)?
Magnus Ramage
(How) Will my perceptions of the distinctions among acting, learning and understanding change as I reflect on this conference?
Allenna Leonard
When I really listened to people in my small group there was no redundant information.
Jerome Carson
What tools might I collect to help engender learning – acting – understanding by groups?
Noam Cook
It is my understanding that this way of holding a conference is helpful to designers + artists. Yes? If so, please explain why?
John Doe
How are the “new”? concepts found this weekend going to be applied?
Francesca Deià
How many different answers can we obtain to the enquiry of the conference?
Ricardo Barrera
Does the process of becoming wrought iron HAVE to be done with the classical (1967) steamhammer? (or are there alternatives?)
Jan Kuiper
What might the world and learning be like if our idea of what a computer is was NOT based on von Neumann architecture?
Mark Johnson
Is learning, acting and understanding at the same level of granularity (for individuals)?
Ludmila Malinova
How can I/we further distribute the benefits of the learning that has been achieved here through our own contexts of practice?
Barney Townsend
How can we treat the issue of gaps (disconnectedness) between understanding – learning and acting? Or do I not have to treat this as an issue?
Chathurika Kannangara
Acting, learning, understanding: Are the following terms also important here – memory, process, context, experience, mindful awareness, change, self-reflection, attention, focus, time, lifetime, subject-object unity, neocontextualization, unlearning and forgetting?
Bill Seaman
When I act on the basis of my present understanding – the structuring of my experiences into expectations – I may find both confirmation or/and surprise. I might call this “mistake”, “problem”, “error”, “friction” and so on… Confirmation of expectation reinforces my present understanding while error (might eventually) induce a new understanding so then I value error over confirmation. All errors are not equal – not in “importance” (who knows?) but in type. Can a “taxonomy of error” be developed to assist in my handling of them? Perhaps this would be a mistake.
Ted Krueger
How can we find out what we and others need to learn, to reach enough shared understanding, to support fruitful and positive collaborative action?
Simon Grant
Is the identity of second-order cybernetics inherently amorphous and fuzzy? Or might a more coherent identity emerge?
Anon
How can I make the questions I ask more like dancing?
Ben Sweeting
What was a question? (After Heinz von Foerster)
Albert Mueller
What can guide us in organizing 50 people in acting – learning – understanding?
Dai Griffith
Are there any relationships between acting, understanding and learning?
Anon
Can we talk or explain everything with cybernetics, effectively?
Anon
How can acting, learning, understanding lead to transferrable knowledge? How can this knowledge adapt over time?
Michael Hohl
Does the social media act as a “learning channel” between understanding and acting? A feedback channel for re-organization?
Faisal Kadri
Could an ethic for our living be that in reflecting on the acting – learning- understanding relationships we remember that we are always in acting (practice; doing) and if we treat acting as prime and act as often as possible in an emotion of love then this will always bring forth understanding?
Ray Ison
Why is “un-learning” a meaningful explanation concept since it is impossible except through physical injury?
Michael Lissack
Variety modulation (making new, dropping old distinctions): What do I do what I do this?
Thomas Fischer
Embodying?
Anon
Is the emergent property of misunderstanding and acting living?
Peter Bednar
How can we measure? Change? Learning? Unlearning?
Anon
How (what can I do?) to keep learning / understanding and acting fun and fresh?
Aartje Hulstein
How to use understanding and learning as states in pedagogy and in research? And would you or why would you do that?
