"The archbishop found it advisable".

The duck said: "Found what advisable"?

"It." said Alice.

"It. to me." said the duck.
"is usually a frog or a worm".

...

Gregory and his colleagues
coIned the term "doubIe bInd"

The doubIe bInd descrIbes
a pattern that-s like a Catch 22,

an experIence In which there seems
no soIutIon for escape

The story Gregory used sometImes
to expiaIn the doubIe bInd

was about the gnat In
"Through the Looking GIass"

And the gnat is a still. small voice.
explaining

the insects of " Through the Looking
Glass Land" to Alice:

"We don't have butterflies.
we have bread-and-butterflies".

And the bread-and-butterfly

has wings
of very thin slices of bread and butter

and the head made of a lump of sugar.

Alice says: "What does it live on"?

The gnat says:
"Weak tea with cream in it".

Alice saw a difficulty.

So she said:
"What happens if he can't find any"?

The gnat says: "lt dies".

Alice says:
"That must happen rather often".

The gnat says: "lt always happens".

The double bind in which
the bread-and-butterfly finds himself.

namely that if he gets his food.
his head dissolves in it.

so his only hope for survival is not
to find any food. but then he starves.

And this is a formal double-bind
of the simplest kind.

...

The double bind
is a creative imperative.

It's the moment when.

because this and that doesn't work

something else
is going to have to be improvised

A creative impulse is necessary
at that moment

to get out of the situation.
to take it up a level.

Can we see a bIgger picture? Can we
think about the way that we think?

Can we see the probIems
of linear thinking

In a worId made up of cIrcIes?
