Chris Dent is reading a Norbert Wiener bio - [Dark Hero] ISBN:0738203688 - When he was ten (c. 1904) he wrote his first philosophical paper, described in the book as "a treatise on the incompleteness of all knowledge". His conclusion: "In fact all human knowledge is based on an approximation."... He experienced self doubt and confusion within that mirrored his belief that nothing was certain, anywhere or anywhen. (Nature Of Truth) In order for more than one actor to collaborate (Collaborat Ion) in an information system, they must share some level of experience in the domain and have shared language. If they do not already have or first build shared language they will waste their time arguing the grammar of the available blocks with little composition. Until there is shared language very little will get done... So if found in a situation where Shared Language is too incomplete (as it always must be somewhat incomplete, see above) what are the tools to make more?
