In the perspective of the constructing observer, I perceive constructions, i.e. artefacts that have meaning for the interpreting observer. I see a constructively possible arrangement of construction elements.

As a constructive observer I describe the construction (structure) and the functioning (process of structural change) of operationally closed systems beyond their milieu. For example, I describe how a heating system is constructed and how the signal flows within the heating system work. I am not interested in whether the heating system is located in a house or in the desert.

The constructive observer perspective is cultural; withconstructions; I pursue intentions or goals. I construct automata because I want to use them in a pragmatic sense, or because I want to explain phenomena using them.
