Causal entailment, then, can be said to embody the "Laws of Nature" that
my father spoke of. But as he pointed out; one of the bedrock rules or
laws of the universe apparently is that context impacts all other
laws. So, each [type of] system
organization will have entailment patterns which are not
necessarily the same as other organization[al types].
([This is because system-]organization specifies all
relations [in the system] and, thereby, [each
type of organization] generates a unique context.) What is even more
surprising is that the entailment patterns of a specific organizational type
will "hold" even when the material aspects are different. Thus, it IS the
situation here on Earth that we have living organisms of myriad variety
and yet we are able to recognize them all as living. This is really the
set of thoughts which Rosennean Complexity is built upon. These are the
patterns he saw. And, the reason we can make models which commute is based on
this fact as well-- that a pattern of entailment created by an
organizational type will be the same regardless of what the system is "made
out of". So a formal system (a model) with the same entailment patterns
as a real system will be able to "predict" accurately the behavior
of that real system.
I hope that makes my intended meaning a little bit clearer. Sorry
if I confused anyone!
