Read loses sight of Buber's concept of dialogue, however, when he suggests that Buber's teaching shows how to replace the inter-individual tensions of the classroom by «an organic mode of adaptation to the social organism as a whole» and when he reinterprets the teacher's concentration of an effective world as a selective screen in which what is kept in and what is left out is determined by the organic social pattern through the medium of the teacher's «sense of a total organism's feeling - behaviour.»

The range of possible activity is determined by the complexity of the nervous system, both on a sensory as well as a motor level (MM 41)-- sensory in that with a system of low complexity, an organism is simply not aware of the vast variety of movements in the material field, motor in that the variety of responses necessary for free activity are not materially accessible (MM 19, 43).
