1.1.2.3.2 Complex comm.

Communication is about complex dynamics of two (or more) human beings in interaction.

How?

I never react to you, it is always: you-plus-me
It is: I-plus-you reacting to you-plus-me
‘I’ can never influence ‘you’ because you have already influenced me; that is, in the very process of meeting, by the very process of meeting, we BOTH become something different.
It is I plus the-interweaving-between-you-and-me meeting you plus the-interweaving-between-you-and-me, etc
If we were doing it mathematically we would work it out to the n-th power
Human individuals, reciprocally influencing each other, thereby co-creating each other over time, with the result of both partners becoming I and THOU
Buber describes this as: you “act” on me like I “act” on you (ibid., p. 11). He adds to this that relation implies reciprocity: “my Thou acts on me like I act on him” (p. 16).
Men/women are born to relate and communicate. Follett: “response is always to a relation”
Buber views the I as a result of the web of relationships: I and Thou are weaving each other within a web of relations.
Co-creating organisms, operative as complex dynamic entities, are “both the weaver and the pattern it weaves”
Self-amplifying loops are caused by small changes in the direct effects on the other showed to generate a potential large, nonlinear increase in the loop effect, operating as a multiplier effect.
Bootstrapping, self-bootstrapping and mutual bootstrapping in interaction. Bootstrapping mechanisms may now be taken as underlying these bootstrap processes, operating as learning mechanisms (see Carey, 2009).
