Four Levels of Learning - P2P Foundation

Learning III - Hyper-complexity: Learning III is a change in the process of Learning II, e.g. a corrective change in the system of sets of alternatives from which a choice is made. It works much as Learning II but on a higher level of abstraction. Bateson points out that this level of learning is never achieved by dogs and very rarely by humans, but as we will see a bit further on larger social systems have much greater capacity for handling the complexity at level III than any human."
