An Ecology of Mind

[Jochen Fromm-5]

Do you think that Bateson's idea of an "Ecology of Mind"
and Minsky's idea of a "Society of Mind" have something
in common? Are both Ecology and Sociology useful to
extend Psychology?

Maybe "connects", something which somehow
connects psychology with neuroscience. Someone
said "the only constructive theory connecting
neuroscience and psychology will arise from the study
of software" (cs.yale.edu/quotes.html).

I think a useful theory of this kind has more in common
with ecology or sociology: it must describe complex adaptive
systems which consist of many elements - systems that are
able to adjust and adapt themselves.
