What is Research? Why? How?

Natural Research

• We continually identify “things” (Subjectively defined entities (Systems))  From our subjective Flow of Experience (pre epitemological field of being)(Lifeworld?, Lebenswelt? Husserl) assign Values to these 'Things' (Systems)(Connor, S)  via distinction (Spencer Brown) of system boundaries(D’arcy) and closure(D’arcy)
• This closure process necessarily involves reduction of complexity via a number of filters from our perceptual systems/language/culture/education/world view

Organised Research

• An organised attempt to decide rationally on regularities, values, perspectives and actions (anticipation, interpretation of Flow and Prescription)(re Happiness(Mutual/Sustainable) Game) .
• I see this as essentially a process of Communicative Rationality (Habermas (his defn of lifeword is different

• 
  
• Re colonisation of lifeworld by Instrumental Rationality (Technical- Productive bias of Capital)
• 
  
• Phenomenological Lifeworld of Husserl is our natural subjectivity (define) - Lifeworld of Habermas is culturally grounded agreement - (conceptual) and is potentially subject to colonisation by Instrumental rationality (technical/productive interests of capital) that may distort and deny natural access to Phenomenological Lifeworld
• Direct analogy to Representational Knowledge and Random Expressive Flow

PCP

A persons processes are psychologically channelled by the way in which they anticipate events

A person anticipates events by construing their replications
