Structures (Systems) - Structures define spaces. We are always within a space defined by one or more structures. It could be physical, linguistic, social, temporal; the list goes on. There are infinitely many structures and therefore infinitely many spaces. It is important to note that structures are not rigid but plastic, they are constantly changing but can never return to a previous state. The boundaries of structures are also variable; in some cases they are permeable and in others non-permeable. The boundaries can change as the plastic qualities would imply. It should also be noted that everything is a structure.
Interaction (Conversation) - Interaction is something that occurs between all structures constantly. All structures are altered in some way by an interaction. When we become aware of this we can decide to interact in a way that changes the other structures in a way we desire. As there are infinitely many structures, it is beyond human capacity to consciously choose how we alter all other structures. But we can be aware of how we alter some.
