Dear Andrew,
You have earned your essons we . ...
Let me try to ("essayer") to add a some words in the general direction of
agreement.
First i'd like to note that matter, what matters, probably comes from
mother. Matter is the mother of things. A theory is also a kind of mother,
as it gives birth to insights, experiments, assumptions and learning. As
most mothers matters so matter theories most.
What you descibed resembles what i learned during my study Experimental
Physics: an article presents a reader with the theory first and the
experiment later. But when one is at work, it is first and foremost
intuition, trying out, experimenting and - after the fact - seeking a
theory that fits. And a fitting theory is also a theory that suits the
University, your professor and the scientific community.
In organizations it not different: the best valued theories are theories
that matter. These also are descriptions of the past, what we've learned
in the past has to be applied on today. If it doesn't fit, making it
fitting. We have to learn that to organize is not the same as
organisation, that we can organize, emerge, develop on our own, make up as
we go along and we will find that we'll arrive at an organisation that
organizes itself continuously. We have done so in the past, we're doing so
now, but we'll start to realize that the resistance to change we feel is
the consciousness itself.
Bye for now,
Jan
