In the conceptualization of system theory, negation has a functional primacy because it allows the world to be kept accessible despite the unavoidably selectivity of the operations of social and psychic systems. Negation takes the form of a reference to other Possibilities than those that are actualized [→Meaning]. As such, it represents social and psychic systems’ reference to the →World and allows the constitution of the meaning of each communication and each thought.
