Life, The Multiverse And Everything: An Introduction To The Ideas Of Humberto Maturana Interpreting Maturana / quote 3 of 50
The drift; the system flows in its own dynamic of structural changes
However, DRIFT will only go in the direction that the circumstances will allow. Drift will not go in any imaginable direction. The example here is to consider the path of a boat which has no rudder, oars, engine, or mast etc. being generated as a drift.. Even if we could specify and compute the structure of all the systems involved and were thereby able to predict the direction of the drift (which we cannot do) it would still be a drift, because the system flows in its own dynamic of structural changes.
