four kinds of relationship between knower and known

the uncertainty principle: to know something about an object, an observer must act upon, and thus disturb it … act of knowing is thus a transaction between the object and the knower which involves physical exchanges of energy … dynamic confrontation between knower and known, with the addition oft h e two kinds of relation between them - the objective information (sense d a t a coming from the object

the nonobjective qualities projected by the knower upon the object—may be represented diagrammatically

causes, categories, or kinds of relationships between an observer and an object (our basic categories of knowing, or four aspects of a situation):
- AA) contained within the object, its formal description (objective general);
- AB) the sense data (D) received from the object by direct encounter, such as weight, color, texture (objective particular);
- BA) qualities (values) which the knower projects (P) upon the object (projective general)¹;
- BB) the function of the object to the knower, knower’s interest (projective particular).
only (AA) is considered valid and useful in the scientific view for a valid description .. scientific knowledge is derived from observations, but is different from them.
four directions independent and opposed aspects

supplanting the word “subjective” by “projective” — earlier implies a personal description, with the possibility of illusion, while later implies only that which is not objective, and leaves aside the question of reality↩︎
