In the development of human thought and perception, the shift from primary orality to vowelised literacy involves the movement from
an implicit sense of things in concrete operational thinking to explicit concepts articulated through abstract thinking.
Where assumptions are
implicit in the outcome; where there is an assumption
of equilibrium where there is no equilibrium; where experiments are run «all other
things being equal» where we know that all
things do not remain constant while we look at one piece
of the puzzle and trying to make
sense of the whole.
