When I saw this drawing (by Gordan Pask), it reminded me of William Gaver’s explanation of the communication that a probe should have between design team and participant.
Gordan Pask(1928-1996)
Gordan Pask was one of the all-time great exponents of cybernetics, the discipline that emerged in the 1940s, in which concepts of information, feedback and control are applied to systems such as living organisms and language. Pask spent his life developing a theory of learning. His research spanned biological computing, artificial inelegance, logic, cognitive science, linguistics and psychology. In essence, Pask believed that intelligence lies in interaction, not inside a head or a computer.
Pask famously always dressed as an Edwardian dandy, with double-breasted suit, bow tie and cane.
