Document Summary
Original observation about messiness and evolution: the patterns of similarity and difference that structure our world are not fixed they change over time as concrete, particular beings interact. Occasionally new models of being and interacting emerge. All beings seem to be connected with each other by relations of similarity and difference the complexity, however, of the world leads to a kind of orderly messiness. Nevertheless, we do have at least one absolute law: Being and history the beings we encounter are not related only by similarity and difference for they are particulars they cannot be reduced to general patterns. Change is a global characteristic of our world two man ways in which we could approach the question of change: the television approach. We simply have before and after shots that are different from each other. Change combines the realities of similarity and difference with the reality things are not the same as they were of time the dynamic approach.
