ROBERT ROSEN AND GEORGE LAKOFF: THE ROLE OF CAUSALITY IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS   Donald C Mikulecky Professor emeritus and Senior Fellow in the VCU Center for the Study of Biological Complexity http://www.people.vcu.edu/~mikuleck/
ROBERT ROSEN ,[object Object],[object Object]
GEORGE LAKOFF ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
TWO OF LAKOFF’S RECENT BOOKS NEED OUR ATTENTION ,[object Object],[object Object]
WHAT IS “FRAMING THE QUESTION”? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE MODELING RELATION:  THE ESSENCE OF SCIENCE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE MODELING RELATION: A MODEL OF HOW WE MAKE MODELS, A SCIENCE OF FRAMING NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM ENCODING DECODING CAUSAL EVENT MANIPULATION
WE HAVE A USEFUL MODEL WHEN AND ARE SATISFACTORY WAYS OF “UNDERSTANDING” THE CHANGE IN THE WORLD “OUT THERE”
THE MODELING RELATION: A MODEL OF HOW WE MAKE MODELS NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM ENCODING DECODING CAUSAL EVENT IMPLICATION
MORE ON THE MODELING RELATION ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
WHY IS “OBJECTIVITY” A MYTH? (OR: WHY IS SCIENCE A BELIEF STRUCTURE) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
WHY WHAT “TRADITIONAL SCIENCE” DID TO THE MODELING RELATION MADE THE PRESENT SITUATION INEVITABLE: ,[object Object],[object Object]
Reductionism has framed complexity theory ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
WHAT “TRADITIONAL SCIENCE” DID TO FRAME THE MODELING RELATION NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM CAUSAL EVENT MANIPULATION
WHAT “TRADITIONAL SCIENCE” DID TO FRAME THE MODELING RELATION NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM NATURAL  SYSTEM FORMAL  SYSTEM MANIPULATION
WHY WHAT “TRADITIONAL SCIENCE” DID TO THE MODELING RELATION MADE THE PRESENT SITUATION INEVITABLE: ,[object Object]
WHY WHAT “TRADITIONAL SCIENCE” DID TO THE MODELING RELATION MADE THE PRESENT SITUATION INEVITABLE: IT FRAMED THE QUESTIN ,[object Object]
Syntax vs Semantics ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
SOME CONSEQUENCES ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Context dependence necessarily introduces circularity ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
SELF-REFERENCE, CIRCULARITY AND THE GENOME DNA ENZYMES PROTEINS REPLICATION TRANSCRIPTION
HOMEOSTASIS CELLS TISSUES AND ORGANS MILLEU FOR CELLS, TISSUES AND ORGANS
CAN WE GET RID OF SELF-REFERENCE, THAT IS, CIRCULARITY? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
WHAT IS COMPLEXITY? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
ROSEN’S CONCEPT  FOR COMPLEXITY:  A NEW FRAME ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The Mexican sierra [fish] has "XVII-15-IX" spines in the dorsal fin. These can easily be counted ... We could, if we wished, describe the sierra thus: "D. XVII-15-IX; A. II-15-IX," but we could  see the fish alive and swimming, feel it plunge against the lines, drag it threshing over the rail,  and even finally eat it. And there is no reason why either approach should be inaccurate. Spine-count description need not suffer because another approach is also used. Perhaps, out of  the two approaches we thought there might emerge a picture more complete and even more accurate that either alone could produce.  -- John Steinbeck, novelist, with Edward Ricketts, marine biologist (1941)
COMPLEX SYSTEMS VS SIMPLE MECHANISMS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
FRAMING THE QUESTION ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
AN EXAMPLE OF REFRAMING THE QUESTION IN SCIENCE TO GET AN ANSWER :  THE WORK OF ROBERT ROSEN ,[object Object],[object Object]
LAKOFF ON CAUSALITY: TWO DISTINCT KINDS ,[object Object],[object Object]
ROSEN AND LAKOFF BOTH RECOGNIZED THAT DIRECT CAUSALITY WAS THE WAY REDUCTIONISTS SAW CAUSALITY ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE RELATIONAL APPROACH TO A COMPLEX REALITY ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
ROSEN USED ARISTOTLE TO INTRODUCE A FORM OF SYSTEMIC CAUSALITY THE FOUR BECAUSES: WHY A HOUSE? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
ROSEN’SRELATIONAL REPRESENTATION OF AN ORGANISM IS SYSTEMIC ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
METABOLISM/REPAIR SYSTEMS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE IMPORTANCE OF CATABOLISM AND ANABOLISM ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIPS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

ORGANISMS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
HUMAN BEHAVIOR IS COMPLEX ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
LAKOFF USES THESE IDEAS TO STUDY AMERICAN POLITICS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE FAMILY AS A MODEL FOR SOCIETY ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE CONSEQUENCES OF LAKOFF’S ANALYSIS ARE CONSISTENT WITH ROSEN’S VIEW OF SCIENCE ,[object Object],[object Object]
THIS REVEALS A GREAT DEAL ABOUT CONTROVERSIES INVOLVING SCIENCE AND RELIGION ,[object Object],[object Object]
PROBLEMS WITH THE USE OF DIRECT CAUSATION (REDUCTIONISM) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
TOWARDS A HOLISTIC THEORY OF COMPLEX HUMAN BEHAVIOR ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
