 %STRUCTURE HUMAN RELATIONSHIP LAW DESCRIBE CONTROL 880114

     The objective laws of natural science do not  provide
a very adequate model for the description of the structure
of human relationships.

     Objective scientific laws describe impersonal objects
in ways which provide the means to control objects through
manipulative relationships between humans and objects.

     Descriptions of the structure of human  relationships
cannot  provide  the  means  to  control  humans   through
manipulative relationships between humans and humans.   By
their  nature humans cannot be controlled as can  objects.
Only  people  who  are into addictive  type  relationships
believe that they can control humans the way that  objects
can be controlled.

     Descriptions  of the structure of human relationships
are of a different kind, than are the objective laws which
describe  quantitatively the relationships among  objects.
Not all descriptions are of one kind.   It is important to
recognize the difference between authentic descriptions of
the  structure  of  human  relationships,   and   accurate
descriptions of objective relationships between objects.

     The   descriptions   of   the  structure   of   human
relationships  are like the probabilistic descriptions  of
indeterminate objective relationships,  only to the extent
that  humans  behave  deterministically according  to  the
rules  of  random  chance,  and the  patterns  of  chaotic
behavior.    Not  even  the patterns  of  probability  and
chaotic  behavior can describe genuinely  authentic  human
intimacy    and   creative   behavior,    which    deviate
qualitatively  from  any  normal  distribution  of   human
behaviors.

     To   adequately  describe  the  structure  of   human
relationships one must describe the qualitative deviations
from  normal patterns of human behaviors.   The essence of
being  human includes the tendencies to  be  fundamentally
different.    Any  description which  ignores  such  human
tendencies to be fundamentally different,  is ignoring  an
essential  aspect of the structure of human relationships,
and so is an essentially inadequate description.

     Descriptions of the structure of human  relationships
which  presume  to provide the basis for knowing  what  to
expect with confidence,  are descriptions which fall  into
the   error  of  thinking  that  the  structure  of  human
relationships can be adequately understood in terms of the
patterns provided by descriptions of relationships between
objects.   In relationships with humans,  expectations can
be coercive and disintegrative.

     In  regards to human relationships  descriptions  can
themselves be coercive, violent and disintegrative in whys
which they are not in regards to objective  relationships.
Human relationships are reflexive;  descriptions of  human
relationships are reflexive,  and so potentially coercive,
violent and disintegrative. Reflexive descriptions can not
be   patterned  after  objective  descriptions  which  are
fundamentally different in character.

     Authentic  descriptions  of human relationships  must
differ    from   accurate   descriptions   of    objective
relationships.    In  the absence of an awareness of  such
difference,   objective people cannot be properly aware of
the  nature  of authentic human  relationships  and  their
structures.    Objective  people are prone to  ignore  the
differences;   and  are  in  profound  need  of   adequate
descriptions  of  the differences between  intimate  human
relationships, and impersonal objective relationships.
