A (Cybernetic) Musing: Architecture of Distinction and the Distinction of Architecture

摘要

Let me end making a point. I do not claim the Maya had read George Spencer Brown's Laws of Form. That would have been beyond even their magical powers! The point is not the intentions of Mayan architects, but how I can understand their (and, by implication, all) architecture-and how I can bring together two disparate areas of interest, creating a pattern that connects. I argue this is the key human quality: man the pattern maker, homo designans.
