   %IMPORTANCE OBJECTIVE FACT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP 910905

     The    import   of   an  objective  fact   to   human
personal  relationships is often not clear to  people  who
are trapped within  the objective paradigm.   Objectivists
may   regard objective  facts  as having  great  potential
importance   to reflexive human relationships---because of
their   relative  ignorance    of    the    dynamics    of
reflexive    human relationships.

     The  fact  that  it is possible to design  and  carry
out   controlled    objective   experiments    in    which
impersonal  objects  behave  in  highly  predictable  ways
does   not indicate  that:  (1)   There is no limit to the
accuracy  of  possible  prediction,    for in fact  it  is
always  the  case that quantitative  predications  involve
some non-zero level of  uncertainty.  (2)  That it will be
possible  to  achieve  such levels  of  predictability  in
regards  to the  evolution of human  relationships  and/or
behavior.     The   discovery   of  quantum     mechanical
phenomena  and  of  the   stochastic processes  of   chaos
restored  some  level  of honesty  about  the  limitations
which nature places upon human knowledge.

     The     demonstration    of     predictability     in
objective relationships  does  not  demonstrate that there
will   be predictability  in   subjective   relationships.
It   is   a  dangerous  assumption  to  believe  that  the
character  of controlled  objective relationships can tell
us   anything definitive  about the character of reflexive
relationships  which  by  their nature are  not  objective
and   cannot   be controlled.      Even    the   objective
relationships    are  apprehended  within  the context  of
reflexive  procedures which are not predictable.
