G. VICKERS stressed: “… the need to develop concepts of stability applicable to appreciative systems” considering that: “All communication — and hence cooperation — depends on (such) shared… systems, on ways of conceptualizing and valuing which are systematically organized and which, when they change, may have to change extensively before they reach anything approaching a new equilibrium” (1970, p.182).
Of course, ideas are carried by people and appreciative systems are a collective tool, obtained by consensus (always provisional) and selectively transmitted by people through time. (KORZYBSKI's time-binding).
