And I hope to be able to change what I think later. Or put coyly: \u201cWhat is the difference between two differences?\u201d<br \/>\n<i>Pille<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What (ought to be) \/ are the ethical and political impacts of a CyberSystemic intervention? (Involving acting, learning and understanding)<br \/>\n<i>Martin Reynolds<\/i><\/p>\n<p>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?<br \/>\n<i>Jennifer Kanary<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can cybernetics make a difference to care for the ocean\/sea\/water and earth\/land and air we breathe?<br \/>\n<i>Peter Tuddenham<\/i><\/p>\n<p>If becoming is understood as a chance what is unlearning?<br \/>\n<i>MGPLN<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Does knowledge about understanding, acting and learning increase the fun factor of understanding, acting and learning?<br \/>\n<i>Astrid<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can I\/we avoid damaging existing acting &#038; learning through trying too hard to understand them (like the centipede)?<br \/>\n<i>Magnus Ramage<\/i><\/p>\n<p>(How) Will my perceptions of the distinctions among acting, learning and understanding change as I reflect on this conference?<br \/>\n<i>Allenna Leonard<\/i><\/p>\n<p>When I really listened to people in my small group there was no redundant information.<br \/>\n<i>Jerome Carson<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What tools might I collect to help engender learning &#8211; acting &#8211; understanding by groups?<br \/>\n<i>Noam Cook<\/i><\/p>\n<p>It is my understanding that this way of holding a conference is helpful to designers + artists. Yes? If so, please explain why?<br \/>\n<i>John Doe<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How are the \u201cnew\u201d? concepts found this weekend going to be applied?<br \/>\n<i>Francesca Dei\u00e0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How many different answers can we obtain to the enquiry of the conference?<br \/>\n<i>Ricardo Barrera<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Does the process of becoming wrought iron HAVE to be done with the classical (1967) steamhammer? (or are there alternatives?)<br \/>\n<i>Jan Kuiper<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What might the world and learning be like if our idea of what a computer is was NOT based on von Neumann architecture?<br \/>\n<i>Mark Johnson<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Is learning, acting and understanding at the same level of granularity (for individuals)?<br \/>\n<i>Ludmila Malinova<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can I\/we further distribute the benefits of the learning that has been achieved here through our own contexts of practice?<br \/>\n<i>Barney Townsend<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can we treat the issue of gaps (disconnectedness) between understanding &#8211; learning and acting? Or do I not have to treat this as an issue?<br \/>\n<i>Chathurika Kannangara<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Acting, learning, understanding: Are the following terms also important here &#8211; memory, process, context, experience, mindful awareness, change, self-reflection, attention, focus, time, lifetime, subject-object unity, neocontextualization, unlearning and forgetting?<br \/>\n<i>Bill Seaman<\/i><\/p>\n<p>When I act on the basis of my present understanding &#8211; the structuring of my experiences into expectations &#8211; I may find both confirmation or\/and surprise. I might call this \u201cmistake\u201d, \u201cproblem\u201d, \u201cerror\u201d, \u201cfriction\u201d and so on&#8230; 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 &#8211; not in \u201cimportance\u201d (who knows?) but in type. Can a \u201ctaxonomy of error\u201d be developed to assist in my handling of them? Perhaps this would be a mistake.<br \/>\n<i>Ted Krueger<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can we find out what we and others need to learn, to reach enough shared understanding, to support fruitful and positive collaborative action?<br \/>\n<i>Simon Grant<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Is the identity of second-order cybernetics inherently amorphous and fuzzy? Or might a more coherent identity emerge?<br \/>\n<i>Anon<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can I make the questions I ask more like dancing?<br \/>\n<i>Ben Sweeting<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What was a question? (After Heinz von Foerster)<br \/>\n<i>Albert Mueller<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What can guide us in organizing 50 people in acting &#8211; learning &#8211; understanding?<br \/>\n<i>Dai Griffith<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Are there any relationships between acting, understanding and learning?<br \/>\n<i>Anon<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Can we talk or explain everything with cybernetics, effectively?<br \/>\n<i>Anon<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can acting, learning, understanding lead to transferrable knowledge? How can this knowledge adapt over time?<br \/>\n<i>Michael Hohl<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Does the social media act as a \u201clearning channel\u201d between understanding and acting? A feedback channel for re-organization?<br \/>\n<i>Faisal Kadri<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Could an ethic for our living be that in reflecting on the acting &#8211; 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?<br \/>\n<i>Ray Ison<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Why is \u201cun-learning\u201d a meaningful explanation concept since it is impossible except through physical injury?<br \/>\n<i>Michael Lissack<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Variety modulation (making new, dropping old distinctions): What do I do what I do this?<br \/>\n<i>Thomas Fischer<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Embodying?<br \/>\n<i>Anon<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Is the emergent property of misunderstanding and acting living?<br \/>\n<i>Peter Bednar<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How can we measure? Change? Learning? Unlearning?<br \/>\n<i>Anon<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How (what can I do?) to keep learning \/ understanding and acting fun and fresh?<br \/>\n<i>Aartje Hulstein<\/i><\/p>\n<p>How to use understanding and learning as states in pedagogy and in research?
