Media-Space Inquiry Model

Tuesday, March 29th, 1983

The following model represents a prescriptive mode, an act of analysis based n an open process of perceptual cognition. The process of perceptual cognition establishes meaning through the inquiry of language. A concept can be translated into an object (sign) that in turn refers back to the concept. stated more simply, recognition ( perceptual cognition ) is a process of inquiry. This clarification is a fundamental relationship, a verification. between ‘fiction’ and ‘fact’.

Fact: The state of things as they area in the perceptual complexity of structure and function. (cognitive)

Fiction: Any language system designed to represent of describe fact and subject in principle to verification.(Connotative as distinguished from affective).

Function: A reflexive correspondence, a mapping of language and in this model meaning.
