%SPAGHETTI CONNECTIONS RELATIONSHIPS IDEAS 761023
Consider a bowl of well cooked, extra long spaghetti
which has been well mixed with spaghetti sauce. Each
strand of spaghetti winds its way around and between a
fair fraction of the other strands of spaghetti. Each
strand thus relates to a fair fraction of all other
strands in the bowl. If you consider the strands of
spaghetti which touch those which touch any one strand---
you will find most strands within the bowl included.
How is one to analyze a bowl of spaghetti so as to
adequately describe all the multitude of interconnections
between strands and between strands which in common
connect to a common strand? A traditional academic
outline is not appropriate to the task. The structure of
the interrelationships is far too complex for such an
outline to do it justice. A more appropriate expository
structure is required.
To do justice to the bowl of spaghetti it would be
necessary to designate each strand, and one by one
describe how it relates to all other strands in the bowl;
by direct single or multiple contact, or by indirect
contact via other strands in the bowl.
The bowl of spaghetti is in some ways like the social
structure of a well integrated complex community, in which
each individual moves freely through major portions of the
total community, and interacts with a fair fraction of the
other members of the community. In such a community, if
you consider the individuals who touch individuals who
touch any given individual---you will find most
individuals within the community included. A description
of such a community must, as in the case of the bowl of
spaghetti, be structured in terms of the ways in which
each participant fits into the total structure.
The interacting elements which are considered in
these essays are as the strands of spaghetti and the
members of a closely integrated community. They cannot be
adequately described in a structure dominated by a
traditional academic outline. Thus they need to be
approached one by one, and an attempt made to relate each
to the numerous other elements, each of which is
unavoidably ambiguously defined.
