“Seen in the context of evolutionary achievements, communicative success is exceedingly improbable. Communication presupposes beings that exist independently, with their own environments and their own information-processing apparatuses. Every being sifts and processes what he perceives for himself. Under such circumstances, how is communication, that is, coordinated selectivity, possible at all?”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.157, l.30
![Page 23: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

“At the zero point of evolution, it is, first of all, improbable that ego understands what alter means-given that their bodies and minds are separate and individual. Only in context can meaning be understood, and context is, initially, supplied by one's own perceptual field and memory.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.158, l.12

“The second improbability refers to reaching the addressee. It is improbable for a communication to reach more persons than are present in a concrete situation... The problem lies in spatial and temporal extension.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.158, l.22
![Page 28: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

“The third improbability is success. Even if a communication is understood by the person it reaches, this does not guarantee that itis also accepted and followed.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.158, l.35
![Page 30: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“Communication is successful only if ego accepts the content selected by the communication (the information) as a premise of his own behavior. Acceptance can mean action corresponding to the directives communicated, but also experience, thinking, or processing further information under the assumption that certain information is correct. Communicative success is the successful coupling of selections.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.158, l.38
![Page 31: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

“These three improbabilities are not only obstructions to the reception of any given communication, not only difficulties in attaining a goal; they operate as thresholds of discouragement. Anyone who believes that communication is hopeless lets it pass. Thus one must expect that communication as such does not occur, or if it does occur, that it will be eliminated in the further course of evolution.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.159, l.6
![Page 33: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
“The immanent improbabilities of the communicative process and the way in which they are overcome and transformed into probabilities regulate the construction of social systems.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.159, l.17
![Page 34: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

“We would like to call media the evolutionary achievements that enter at those possible breaks in communication and that serve in a functionally adequate way to transform what is improbable into what is probable. Corresponding to the three types of communicative improbability, one can distinguish three different media that mutually enable one another, limit one another, and burden one another with consequent problems.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.160, l.14

“The medium that increases, the understandability of communication beyond the sphere of perception is language. Language is a medium distinguished by the use of signs. It uses acoustic or optical signs for meaning.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.160, l.20
![Page 41: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“this concerns a very special technique with the function of extending the repertoire of understandable communication almost indefinitely in practice and thereby guaranteeing that almost any random event can appear and be processed as information.”

“As a result of language, media of dissemination, namely, writing, printing, and electronic broadcasting, have developed.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.161, l.1

“Success ... lay ... in the development of symbolically generalized communication media, which are functionally adequate to this particular problem.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.161, l.21
![Page 47: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
“We would like to call "symbolically generalized" the media that use generalizations to symbolize the nexus between selection and motivation, that is, represent it as a unity.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.161, l.25
![Page 48: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
“Important examples are: truth, love, property / money, power / law; and also, in rudimentary form, religious belief, art, and, today, standardized "basic values." ”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.161, l.27
![Page 49: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
“In all these cases this in a very different way and for very different interactive constellations is a matter of conditioning the selection of communication so that it also works as a means of motivation, that is, so that it can adequately secure acceptance of the proposed selection.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.161, l.30
![Page 50: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
“The most successful and most relevant communication in contemporary society is played out through these media of communication, and accordingly, the chances of forming social systems are directed toward the corresponding functions.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.161, l.34
![Page 51: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
“One has to understand the process of sociocultural evolution as the reshaping and widening of the chances for foreseeable communication, as the consolidation of expectations out of which society can form its social systems.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.159, l.20
![Page 52: Social Systems Theory 2012 #3](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54c7b05f4a79592e4b8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
“Language, media of dissemination, and symbolically generalized communication media are thus evolutionary achievements that interdependently ground the processing of information and increase what can be produced by social communication. This is how society produces and reproduces itself as a social system.”
N. Luhmann, Social Systems, Stanford University Press, 1996 Chap.4, p.162, l.3

“Once communication is set into and kept in motion, the formation of a bounded social system cannot be avoided, nor can the development of further bounded social systems produced by the transformation of expectations about what is improbable into what is sufficiently probable. On the level of social systems, this is an exclusively autopoietic process, which produces what enables it itself.”
