 %DIFFER APPARENT REALITIES PARTICIPANTS COLLUSIONS 890608

     In  a  collusive  community not all  members  of  the
community  participate equally and/or in the same  way  in
the  variety of collusions which color the perceptions  of
members    of   the   community.     How    each    person
experiences/perceives reality depends upon the combination
of collusions which block/color/divert their perceptions.

     Collusions  make it difficult to arrive at  a  stable
consensus    regarding   the   essential   elements    and
relationships   of  reality.    Collusions  undermine  the
efforts of scientists to discover the objective nature  of
elements  of  reality  and their most  fundamental  inter-
relationships.

     For scientist to helpfully succeed in their  ventures
they  must transcend the collusions of their  communities;
including  the collusions of their particular professional
specializations;  e.g.,  as regards the possibilities  and
impossibilities  of transcending bias through objectivity,
measurement, computation, analysis, etc.

The process of integrative research is just as  much
a process of extrication from communal collusions as it is
a  process  of  discovering/analyzing  previously  unknown
realities,  elements and/or relationships.   Pure research
which   ignores  the  reflexive  extrication  process   is
incomplete and is not integrative.

     Extrication   from  collusions  is   an   essentially
reflexive process.  Is not an objective process; yet it is
essential to the helpful success of objective research.
