In the first case the party responding to the request for help may try to throw a rope. However, if there were a history of bad will between himself and the person in the quicksand, he might also just lay back and watch him slowly sink [lack of will]. In the second case, the party responding to the request for help might, on the one hand, go to the unmanned end of the table and try to help lift (and he would not throw a rope—due to the basic circumstantial difference). ”] [after[60, p. 224]]. Thus the elements of consistency, but also potential novelty, may both be necessary to signaling activity in the real world, because the world is never static: “In all social events, the behavior of participants must engender considerable predictability.
The aspect of self-sufficiency in social autonomy relates to the ranges of what can be achieved independently vs. in concert with others; deontic autonomy corresponds to the range of permissions and obligations that govern the agent’s choice among actions. The term ontology is borrowed from the philosophical literature, where it describes a theory of what exists. Such an account would typically include terms and definitions only for the very basic and necessary categories of existence. However, the common usage of ontology in the knowledge representation community is as a vocabulary of representational terms and their definitions at any level of generality.
This then, is the second face of our argument: Unregulated by cultural patterns—organized systems of significant symbols—man’s behavior would be virtually ungovernable, a mere chaos of pointless acts and exploding emotions, his experience virtually shapeless. Culture, the accumulated totality of such patterns, is not just an ornament of human existence but—the principal basis of its specificity—an essential condition for it. (pp. 45-46) In summary, according to this argument people create and have created cultures and social conventions—albeit in many disparate forms across mankind that can be hard for outsiders to understand—to provide order and predictability.
