An Explanation of System Dynamics Recognition Experience According to an Interpretation of Biology of Cognition Theory: The Nature of Feedback Loop Structure

摘要

This paper presents the partial research insights about an explanation of the System Dynamics Recognition Phenomenon1 (Parra, 2002), according to an interpretation of Biology of Cognition Theory proposed by Humberto Maturana (Maturana, 1985, 1992, 2002). This article presents a conceptual model of Biology of Cognition Theory. This model is used to distinguish and configurate elements and relations to permit the construction of the recognition notion according to Biology of Cognition Theory. Next, we consider the principal System Dynamics foundation: the Feedback Cycle under the point of view of the Biology of Cognition Recognition. To accomplish this, we interpret a Jay Forrester's classic paper. With this intepretation, we propose two ways for the System Dynamics Recognition according to Biology of Cognition. The insights about this research may be pertinent to study the implications of the most important System Dynamics process: the organizational learning and educational applications.
