Suits me fine
In Marcus Reinfried's essay"Can Radical Constructivism Achieve a Viable Basis for Foreign Language Teaching? - A Refutation of the 'Wolff-Wendt' Theorem", I just found an idea that I really like:
If I assume (as the Constructivist that I seem to be) that
Right, this looks circular, but it isn't, really: since the Theory of Identification posits that, with the exception of the case of madness, identification is never complete, but an ideal that the

The phenomenal world is a mixture of mimesis (the mirroring of ontic reality) and construction, in which both factors amalgamate, because they cannot clearly be separated from each other.In other words, Reinfried assumes "doubling";
Phenomenal World = Construction + Mimesis
If I assume (as the Constructivist that I seem to be) that
Phenomenal World = Actor
, the above corresponds nicely to Meyerhold's FormulaActor = Creator + Medium
Right, this looks circular, but it isn't, really: since the Theory of Identification posits that, with the exception of the case of madness, identification is never complete, but an ideal that the
Creator
should aspire to without ever reaching it (if he does, the game is over for him), I get circularity with small random variations. Which suits me fine, since this seems to be how biological replication works, too.Addendum: To anybody who concludes that I expect a correlation between gene expression and verbal expression to exist - you're right.

Actor = Nature + Nurture
