     We  find  meaning and satisfaction within  structures
and fear situations which are chaotic,  without structure.
We  create  structures  and structured  situations  within
which  we hope to find meaning and satisfaction,  and seek
to protect them even when they are imperfect;  for we fear
the  loss of imperfect structures when we cannot  imagine,
envision, find, or create any better structures.

     Our  structures  take on many forms:    families  and
family relationships,  friendships and groups of  friends,
classes  in  schools and classes of peoples,  patterns  of
status  and respect,  clothing which represents class  and
status,   patterns of language and  education,   scholarly
works,   scientific knowledge,  etc.  We find meaning  and
satisfaction within such structures,  and fear  situations
which we see as chaotic, without structure.

     Scientists  create  what they regard to be  objective
structures; seeking to find the objective structures which
they  regard as inherently present in the universe.   They
create scholarly structures  of research groups,  classes,
and  publications;   seeking  to  represent  the objective
structures which they  regard as inherently present in the
universe. Scientists find their meaning, significance, and
satisfaction within the structures which they create,  and
so  the  structures  which they create are  not  objective
structures,  for they reflect back upon the scientists who
created them and find their personal meaning in them;  the
structures  are  reflexive  structures  about  which   the
scientists   cannot  be  objective  by  virtue  of   their
dependence upon them for their sense of significance.
