                      %REFLEXIVE CRITERIA JUDGMENTS 870905

     It is a reflexive action to adopt  and  use  criteria
for judgments  which  reflect  back  upon   self.      All
self-regulatory  systems operate in   terms  of  reflexive
criteria.   Automatons  which are not free to choose their
own  reflexive  criteria  have  such  criteria  programmed
into them by outside agents.  Creatures which    are  free
to   choose  their  own  reflexive  criteria   by    their
reflexive behaviors  internalize  reflexive  criteria   in
terms   of  which   they   engage  in  further   reflexive
behavior  which entails the  choice  of further  reflexive
criteria.    Free creatures are  creatures that engage  in
the  development of an   integrated  system  of  reflexive
criteria in  terms  of which to cope successfully in their
environment.

     Some scientists pretend that  they  do  not engage in
reflexive  behavior.   They are not free creatures.   They
are  driven  by  reflexive criteria which  they  have  not
openly, honestly and freely chosen.   They are driven by a
collusion which demands of them that they deny the reality
of  their reflexive  behavior  and     reflexive criteria.
They  are imprisoned by  their self  deceptions      which
flow  from  their disintegrative reflexive criteria  which
they did not freely choose;  criteria which were  injected
into   them in secret collusive ways by others  who   were
not free  creatures.

     Creatures that are  not free to  reflexively appraise
their  own  behavior and its consequences can  not  behave
wisely.  They  are doomed to repeat mistakes for lack of a
clear understanding  of  the relationships  between causes
and consequences in the instance  of  their own behaviors.
Wisdom  involves  reflexive  behavior.    One  cannot   be
objectively wise without reflexive  behavior which is non-
objective.    Reflexive  behavior  can  not  be  objective
behavior to the actor or to concerned spectators for  whom
the behavior has significant symbolic meaning.
