Picture information handed to you that is meant to shape what you do next — not a description of the world, but a direction for your hands. Who hands it over changes the flavour: a boss makes it an order you follow, a makes it a set of steps, a teacher makes it lessons. In all three, someone knows and is passing it on so you can act.

可以想成:有人把一份資訊交到你手上,而它的用意是決定你接下來要做什麼——不是在描述世界,而是在指揮你的手。交的人是誰更多收起可以想成:有人把一份資訊交到你手上,而它的用意是決定你接下來要做什麼——不是在描述世界,而是在指揮你的手。交的人是誰會改變它的味道:上司交下來就是要照辦的指示,說明書上寫的就是一步一步的操作,老師給的就是教學。三種情況共通的是:有人知道,然後傳給你,好讓你做得出來。
