Concerning Fred Reed's interesting post regarding "Autognomics", I feel
compelled to comment that if Autognomics is not perceived to be a mental model,
then the concept of mental model is incompletely understood. I found much of
interest in the description of autognomics, whose underlying premises did not
seem very new to me, but whose connection to other disciplines points to the
possibility of new learnings. I am disappointed with the either/or tone of the
post, which seems to suggest that those of us who think otherwise are wrong,
and which leads the author, in my opinion, to misread the ladder of inference
as a system, rather than a possible description of process...
