Enabling Network System (ENS)

Certain developments in our understanding of language, cognition, and conceptual processes are leading to novel implementations of information technology and the emergence of new families of computer software. This paper outlines the design of one such system and describes the sort of consensual coordinations of actions that this system enables. Implementation of the ENS entails a novel way of understanding the way humans orient and an unusual explanation of how conceptual processes relate to the consensual domain. The underlying concepts are indebted to two major sources: (a) the Biology of Cognition and Language, Humberto Maturana, University of Chile, Santiago; and (b) Conversation Theory, developed by Gordon Pask, University of Amsterdam, and the associated software THOUGHTSTICKER.
