•“..a
person tends to see the world as conforming to the words he has been taught to use about it."
•Alfred Korzybski
•The information we have and use is really a
‘system’ in itself. The ‘knowledge’ we derive from this information is
basically the resonance or the emergent property or properties that the
system produces.
•Each individual, such as an application user or
creator of an application, analyst, modeler, designer, etc., understands and
approaches each software element, whether it’s an attribute, or the algorithm
or definition of the element, with a unique and, often slightly different,
intention.
•That is, each individual could have different
images (non-verbal) of what the various words mean and, in the composite form
of a complete application or business function, we each can interpret and
execute processes with different intentions and expectations.
