Hi Dave – thanks again for joining in again – will answer this on another post, to keep it open and accessible.

And whoever-it-was from Collegiate News – yup, interesting article on ‘The Global War Against Taylorism’, and agreed that “education is not an industrial process”. And neither is knowledge management – something we’re agreed on, Dave, I think? – or, for that matter, most so-called industrial processes…

The fact that order exist in nature (a constrained system that prevents agent action independent of the system) does not entail the statement that therefore all things can be reduced to order.

If you look at this from the perspective of constraints, relaxation and imposition then a lot of the problems you state above go away and there is no need to see order as an abstraction it is a phase state.
