Aha! Thank you John, you provided for the missing link in my thinking of
At's essentiality "Identity-Categoricity" (Sureness). I cannot put it in
words just now, but I am sure I got the idea.
The geologist was telling the astronauts to take care of "sureness" with
respect to the moon (establish categorical identity by means of
isomorphism). With the "problem" Apollo 15 experienced, the survival
depended on the full creative potential of this remarkable team of
astronauts and NASA.
As one prerequisite, LO need to be sure about themselves (categorical
identity by means of selfreferential pairs, i.e. individuals + teams).
Thank you,
