Gregory Bateson Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity (1980)
- Criteria of Mind (from Mind and Nature A Necessary Unity):
- Mind is an aggregate of interacting parts or components.
- The interaction between parts of mind is triggered by difference.
- Mental process requires collateral energy.
- Mental process requires circular (or more complex) chains of determination.
- In mental process the effects of difference are to be regarded as transforms (that is, coded versions) of the difference which preceded them.
- The description and classification of these processes of transformation discloses a hierarchy of logical types immanent in the phenomena.
