Hi Maria,
When I first noticed these quotes there was a very strong feeling in my mind that they were connected. Now that you ask I’m not sure about the relationship here. This often happens in thinking about how things relate to each other, the link, at first strong, turns out to be too weak to hold.
Been thinking a lot about how problems are solved and the tools needed to accomplish this. In the young boy I see the development of understanding that is impermanent and will develop as he develops. And this brings up the idea that decisions, assumptions, strategies, whatever are not end states but stops on a path. We start with the evidence as best we can from what we have, and build on that to finer and finer understandings.
At the beginning of this is my looking into diagnostic training for mechanics and how mental leaps can as often lead to miss-diagnosis as to correct diagnosis. I see a connection between emergence and diagnosis but struggle with there being more than one correct answer as in there being wrong’ish or right’ish but not perfect solutions.
The more I try to explain this the deeper in trouble I get:-)
