Or, actually, what POSIWID means.
Dan Davies:
The purpose of a system is exactly what is being worked out every day, as that system reproduces and maintains itself, decides what events it is going to react to and how it is going to balance present interests and future possibilities. And so the doing of things is, identically, the creation of purpose.
I like that: the doing of things is, identically, the creation of purpose.
