comment - from Latin intentionem (nominative intentio) "a stretching out, straining, exertion, effort; attention," noun of action from intendere "to turn one's attention," literally "to stretch out" - I'm not sure that - the "stretching towards" of attention and - the "stretching out" of intention - conveys a clear relationship between them - I understand the "stretching towards" of attention but don't get the sense of "stretching out" as it applies to intention - I think of energy and purpose but stretching out doesn't seem aligned to it

question - intention - as stretching out - I don't understand how intention can be described as stretching out. I understand it as having a goal or purpose - Stretching out is perhaps alluding to a FUTURE action - to get hold of something you don't presently have so you are stretching out - Perhaps more of a literal hand movement - stretching out your hand to get something you don't currently have - whereas stretching towards is alluding more to something in the present, although it seems they can both be used interchangeably for reaching for an object not currently in your possession: - the baby stretched his hand towards the apple - the baby stretched out his hands to grasp the apple

for - three simplifying strategies

three simplifying strategies - MATHEMATICS / QUANTIFICATION - counting - When you count a series of objects, there is an underlying assumption of a simplification and abstraction of reality that eliminates all the variability that is present in real systems in nature - This is especially true in biology - To count "objects you are making the assumption that the similarities between them are what matters and you can ignore the differences that are usually there - So in applying the most basic ideas of mathematics, counting, we are already making a big assumption that abstracts away a lot of natural variability - statistics - once again, a lot of variability is simply bypassed - - - REDUCTION - studying a part of a living system in isolation of the living system - in vitro instead of - in vivo - We reduce the number of natural variables by restricting to an artificial lab environment - Processes can work well within the non-natural, highly constrained test environment but the results may not match with the same process in the natural environment when all the natural variability is present - ANALOGIES / METAPHORS

definition - haptic realism - Mazviita Chirimuuta - While mainstream scientific realism suggests that if a scientific theory is mature and supported by strong empirical evidence, then that scientific representation can be taken as the literal truth of how things exactly are. - In contrast, haptic realism, as the name "haptic" suggests, holds that the observer (human agent) through human touching / sensing of the aspect of nature studied plays an important role in contributing to the scientific representation. - In other words, the observer cannot simply be ignored and scientific truth has a kind of built-in degree of constructivism and relativism that depends on the perspectival frame of the observer - The many processes that occur when scientists are generating their theories creates simplifying models that strip away the complexities of reality but can be characterized by one perspective view - The scientist is situated and has his/her own unique - Lebenswelt (lifeworld), - perspective - instrumentation - narrative - to the observation and theoretical construction of the measured / observed data - But this is only one of many potential constructions - In this sense, haptic realism considers that the "objective" scientific reality is a partnership between - that which is observed - the modality of observing (instrumentation, techniques) - the linguistic words and constructed narratives using those words
