Connectivism & half-life of knowledge
“ Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories. Learning is a process that occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core elements – not entirely under the control of the individual. Learning (defined as actionable knowledge) can reside outside of ourselves (within an organization or a database), is focused on connecting specialized information sets, and the connections that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state of knowing. Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations. New information is continually being acquired. The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital. The ability to recognize when new information alters the landscape based on decisions made yesterday is also critical. "
“ One of the most persuasive factors is the shrinking half-life of knowledge. The “half-life of knowledge” is the time span from when knowledge is gained to when it becomes obsolete. Half of what is known today was not known 10 years ago. The amount of knowledge in the world has doubled in the past 10 years and is doubling every 18 months according to the American Society of Training and Documentation (ASTD). To combat the shrinking half-life of knowledge, organizations have been forced to develop new methods of deploying instruction. "

In short: the relativity of thought and reason. I do believe that fuzzy logic still misses out on a third dimension: time. It's not because yesterday flighing wasn't possible, that tomorrow it won't be possible: same goes maybe for time-travelling...
It made me thing about intertextuality and especially the essay of T.S. Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent (1919), the book Fuzzy Logic The Discovery of a Revolutionary Computer Technology by Daniel & Freiberger, Paul McNeill, and also the concepts of both fractals and spirals.
