Document Summary
Review: seeing what we have seen: heisenberg and you. The altered eye comes from theodore rekki poem; we change the world when we look at it and we change when the world looks at us. The power of the look (the gaze) has enormous power of you. Heisenberg = physicist; observer principal: just by observing we change the world (his experiment changed based on where he stood); bystander effect there are no innocent bystanders. Shifting from one system to another is shifting paradigms still have a governing system: signifying. We say word and automatically something will pop into your head (when we say child, something will remind you of it, an image pops into your head; this will typically change frequently) We are always signifying even when we don"t know it; whether or not we"re using spoken language. Ender"s game all children, signify betrayal, all kids are armies.
