Even though both Ernst von Glasersfeld, the founding father of radical constructivism, and his epistemological alter ego, Heinz von Foerster, one of the principal architects of second-order cybernetics, would both repeatedly stress the formative importance of communication, neither would ever model communication as a phenomenon per se. I will propose a first modelling of communication as seen through the stereoscopic lens of these two schools of thought. I will first present, discuss and evaluate how communication is traditionally modelled. This will serve as an informed backdrop when I proceed to integrate the common denominators pertaining to communication from relevant works of both scholars. In addition to the fact that both would willingly profess to the ‘Linguolaxis’ of Maturana and Varela, i.e., that humans exist suspended in communication, two basic assumptions have proven formative. Firstly, that communication is perceived as a flux, as an almost William-James-like ‘stream of communication’. Secondly, and this is more in the vein of Heraclitus, that both communicators and communication alike undergo transformations in the process of immersion. This implies favouring a view of communication in which communication is a perpetual oscillation between ongoing reciprocal perturbations (Glasersfeld), that occur over time, and the endeavours to re-establish (cognitive) homeostasis (Foerster). The latter must not be reduced to either mere compliance, as it were, i.e., that the ‘other’ does as s/he is told, or to the mutual understanding of a dominance-free communication of a Habermasian persuasion, but rather in the pragmatic notion of ‘compatibility’ (Glasersfeld). For illustrative purposes I will end this paper by translating these notions into a model depicting what I have labelled co-actional communication, in effect forging an exemplar.

对话交流的互惠动力学建模：关于激进建构主义和二阶控制论的交流哲学暗流

尽管激进建构主义的奠基人 Ernst von Glasersfeld 和他的认识论上的另一个自我，二阶控制论的主要建筑师之一 Heinz von Foerster 都反复强调沟通的形成重要性，但他们都不会为沟通建模作为一种现象本身。我将提出通过这两种思想流派的立体镜头看到的第一个交流模型。我将首先介绍、讨论和评估传统上如何建模通信。当我从两位学者的相关著作中整合与交流有关的共同点时，这将作为一个知情的背景。除了两人都愿意承认 Maturana 和 Varela 的“Linguolaxis”，即人类存在于交流中暂停的事实之外，事实证明，有两个基本假设具有形成性。首先，这种交流被视为一种流动，几乎是威廉-詹姆斯式的“交流流”。其次，这更符合赫拉克利特的观点，即传播者和传播者都在沉浸过程中经历转变。这意味着支持一种交流观点，在这种观点中，交流是持续不断的相互扰动（Glasersfeld）之间的永久振荡，随着时间的推移发生，努力重建（认知）稳态（Foerster）。后者决不能被简化为仅仅是顺从，例如，“他者”按照他/她被告知的去做，或者对哈贝马斯说服的无支配沟通的相互理解，而是在“兼容性”的实用概念（格拉泽菲尔德）。
