Because of its inherently limited pragmatic scope, a traditional information system takes context for granted. It is often situated, much as if a blind-walled container would be dropped somewhere, with interior decorators getting to work only on the inside while keeping the door through which they entered tightly closed. The environment of the container, let alone how its interior might interconnect with other containers and how their interiors function, is not or hardly at all considered. In other words, context remains external to every isolated information system. People, please note, designers often included, are therefore habitually unaware of how detailed their (re)actions are essentially contextually differentiated, mixed, etcetera. For they are accustomed to switching wholesale from one information system to another, thereby moving from one context — situation, rather[…] — to another without realizing what really affects their change in behavior.

Through augmenting phenomenology with the Peircean dimension of sign, first of all the actor annex subject itself is considered an information system. It guides the proper  design orientation. The primary concern lies with relevant experiences of stakeholders in their real-life behavioral exchanges. Perspective provides the key to recognition, and subsequent modeling, of necessary and sufficient differentiation of experience.

And with Metapattern itself being radically empty, the modeler using it […] is especially oriented at filling in contexts that are habitually kept hidden when traditional modeling languages are used (as they imply monocontextualism and therefore ‘naturally’ fail to facilitate multicontextualism as a better approximation of reality with a realistic scope). That way, i.e. disciplined by Metapattern’s stubborn emphasis on (inter)dependency, it may happen that the modeler hits upon aspects/elements which have so far not been fully recognized.

It becomes a question of productive coordination, rather than counterproductive conflict.

I apply the ennead as (an) Occam’s razor, trying to “ fit” (meta)concepts, not getting overly confused by terminological differences, and avoiding unnecessary duplicates. At least for the time being, I find it serves that purpose, too.

I hope you recognize, and from a common sense point of view I would say that your “management” should be extremely eager to support you, that you may be combining crisis management, successful at last, with laying the solid foundation for a properly scaled integrated informational order.
