Including the missing bits of the hidden assumptions that will otherwise represent problems or opportunities.RolftheGangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501077645209072340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554094839017805685.post-59944889129711846132011-10-26T09:49:19.405+01:002011-10-26T09:49:19.405+01:00Ah, paradigms!

From two paradigms, Unionist and Independent Scot. <br /><br />In brief, a rough working definition of a paradigm is: "an all encompassing view of reality, based on one or more core assumptions" The paradigm view sees and interprets all information and new knowledge in terms of its own reality - until such time as the central assumption collapses. Eg. USSR central assumption: "We the state, control you the people". Yeltsin and people: "We the people, control you the state" Collapse of USSR. Warning. A new paradigm may persist, or erode back into the old paradigm.<br /><br />I suggest that the central assumption of the Independent Scot paradigm is: The Scottish people are sovereign"RolftheGangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501077645209072340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554094839017805685.post-66077945921951022482011-10-25T22:09:18.822+01:002011-10-25T22:09:18.822+01:00A superb addition to my little glossary, DougtheDu...A superb addition to my little glossary, DougtheDug - clearly you are well on your way to fluency in this fascinating new language.<br /><br />But be careful you don't forget the mither tongue - this kind of thing has an insidious quality to it ...moriduraalt.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002920496823680378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554094839017805685.post-24102696444394535792011-10-25T20:26:10.464+01:002011-10-25T20:26:10.464+01:00An excellent list.
