Communication according to Humberto Maturana is primarily a coordination of behavior. Here perhaps he comes close to bridging the gap between communication and conversation. One step further seems to be that in conversation we think together. We decide what behavior to coordinate; we also decide to decide. We dance and we make the music.

Evidently we can have a conversation not just with players in front of us: also with our memories, our thoughts and thinking, and players we make up. Consider the well-known “imaginary friends” of childhood, and perhaps other ages.

How could withdrawing from conversation and from being among others be a form of conversation? Does that mean we cannot not converse? How open do we need to be? How do we open—ourselves and others? Open to others and to other paradigms?
