A thought in response to RK's comment —

That strikes me as a problem in cross-paradigm communication — an interaction among communities of interpretation using different analogies to comprehend object situations which may or may not be the same or even compatible.

Whether it's #Dialectic in #Aristotle's or #Hegel's sense the logic of shifting paradigms is the #Logic of #Abduction.

Let me try to say in intuitive terms what I think is really going on here.

The problem is as old as those about #OtherMinds, #Intersubjectivity, or #Commensurability and it involves a whole slew of other old problems — #RealityVsAppearance or #RealityVsRepresentation, not to mention #TheOneAndTheMany. One way to sum up the question might be “conditions on the possibility of a #MutuallyObjectiveWorld ”.
