Paradoxes, circularity and learning processes

Considering Bateson’s theory of learning and communication, it could be argued that creative change in cognitive systems (e.g., as described in relational-systemic psychology) is related to the existence of a set of Liar-type sentences in the communicative context of the systems (pragmatic paradox), and that the solution to pragmatic paradoxes are connected to the construction of a new meta-context in which the old messages have to be interpreted. A simple set theoretical model of this kind of processes could be defined, in the theory of non-well-founded sets, using the notion of partial model first introduced by Barwise.
