Dear Group: Alfred Adler, MD, called this the "apperceptive schema" in
his theory called "Individual Psychology" (individuum = "that which cannot
be divided") and wrote about it in his book: Understanding Human Nature
published in 1926. I love many of Maturana's ideas but it is only fair to
say that I have understood many of them before as having been created by
Adler. Just for the record.

Warm regards, David
