This is a view that I share. The mathematics of structure is particularly important in this regard. It will not do to claim that advocates of this branch are positivistic, insensitive to people, etc., etc. On the contrary, advocates of this are concerned about careful, precise communication in a world filled with ambiguity. They are seen as structural concepts, but not in terms of any particular type of relationship other than directed connection.
Symmetric connection is equally prominent with non-symmetric connection.
It is a great pity that systems scientists and cyberneticists continue to ignore this subject which, in its inherent beauty and generality, can provide a foundation to make these subjects more presentable and teachable and yes, learnable. As Foucault remarked in some published interviews, communists thought him a fascist, and fascists thought him a communist. I suppose cyberneticists will think him a systems person and systems people will think him a cyberneticist, or perhaps he will not be honored by either group. It's true that Foucault was interested in power. But he was not interested in it as most envisage the subject.
