Contexture

is a tertium non-datur world to which there is no alternative

Functional systems are such "worlds". On the one hand, it is not possible to escape them; on the other hand, the multiplicity of such heterogeneous functionalities means that the same event observed in a contexture can also be observed differently. There is neither truth nor error, but only function-bound observations.

It is about the conditions under which a semantics of second-order observation can develop, with social evolution perhaps playing the most important role. It is science that observes the conditions of Second-Order Observation, although it is itself the result of social evolution.

The transition from reference to observation has emphasized the distinctions that are used to distinguish something from something else.
