AB  - SAE Relation Theory Paper 4. This record holds the Chinese text and its English edition. The English edition is an independent rewrite of the Chinese text, not a translation; where the two differ, the Chinese governs. Each text comes with a quotation audit table.  This paper reads two things in dealings: response, and expectation.  The other party's response is material, not a settling of the account. It enters my conditions of occurrence and becomes material for the next expectation; the mere fact that a response has occurred settles nothing, and does not certify that the other party has avowed anything; a checkable promise made within a response is read separately, by Paper 3. Expectation grows out of repeated dealings and sediments into a construct that one party arranges on his own side, directed at the other party's later conduct; it changes the conditions of what can later be said and done, yet it does not bring it about that the person of whom it is expected has avowed anything. Expectation is for now classed neither as duty nor as accountability; it has two exits from that slot: the person of whom it is expected takes it on in his own law, or it becomes a role requirement explicitly arranged by both parties and maintained by relational power. Expectation alone does not establish, in reverse, that either of the two holds. Saying an expectation out loud is a form of questioning; to attach a qualifying condition to an expectation, fixing for the other party what something means to him, for instance by hanging it as a criterion on who he is or what he cares about, is to slide in the direction of colonization, and whether that takes hold depends on the other party's later understanding and action. Only where the qualifying condition has become a position, such that no response of the other party can be registered as a refutation, is there a value-layer signature of introjection; the third person speaks only of direction, position and signature. Within a relation, not colonizing is hard.  Mutuality is two one-way recognitions meeting; if they do not meet, each one's share is still there as before. Mutuality is not exchange, nor a state a relation is meant to reach. 16DD is something that happens on an occasion, not a grade that a person or a relation is in; this series takes up its moment, the moment of 16DD: two one-way recognitions meet at one moment, and neither side, by its own anticipation, avows the jolt within the other on the other's behalf. An outward laugh obtained by demand or by prior agreement alone cannot constitute this moment and cannot certify it, nor does it rule out that the moment happens otherwise; what can hold only by treating a third person as material does not count. A 16DD that can hold at any time and in any place, this series only registers; it does not take it up.  SAE 关系论 Paper 4。本记录收中文正文与英文版;英文版是独立重写,不是翻译,两版不一致处以中文为准。两版各附引文审计表。  这一篇读来往里的两样东西:回应,与期待。  对方的回应是材料,不是结算。它进入我的发生条件,成为下一次期待的材料;单凭回应发生这件事,它不结清什么,也不认证对方认领了什么;回应里作出的可核答应,另照承诺篇读。期待从反复的来往里长出,沉积成一方在自己这里安排出来、指向对方此后作为的构;它改变此后能说、能做的条件,却不使被期待的人认领了什么。期待暂不归入义务,也不归入职责;它离开那一格有两条出口,被期待的人在自己的法里认下,或成为双方明确安排,并由关系权力维持的一项角色要求。仅有期待,不倒推这两种任何一种成立。说出期待是一种追问;给期待挂上限定条件,替对方定下一件事对他意味着什么,如把它挂到对方是谁、在乎什么上作判准,就滑向殖民的方向,成没成看对方此后的理解与行动。限定条件成了位置,使对方的任何回应都不能作为反驳被登记,那里才有价值层的内摄签名;第三人称只说方向、位置与签名。在关系里,不殖民是难的。  双向是两个单向碰上了;碰不上,各人那一份照旧在。双向不是交换,也不是一段关系要达到的状态。16DD 是一次发生的事,不是一个人或一段关系所处的等级;这个系列接它的瞬间(the moment of 16DD):两个单向在一刻碰上,两边都不以自己的预期替对方认领那一下。单凭索取或约定得来的外面一笑,构不成,也认证不了这一刻,也不排除那一刻另外发生;要靠把第三个人当材料才成立的,不算。何时何地都能成立的 16DD,这个系列只登记,不接。  Related works  Relation: Cites · Resource type: Publication / Preprint · Scheme: DOI  10.5281/zenodo.23541778  10.5281/zenodo.23545047  10.5281/zenodo.23545097  10.5281/zenodo.19297847  10.5281/zenodo.22970777  10.5281/zenodo.22974154  10.5281/zenodo.22970783  10.5281/zenodo.22313628  10.5281/zenodo.22731235  10.5281/zenodo.21611154  10.5281/zenodo.22050204  10.5281/zenodo.22191071  10.5281/zenodo.19328662  10.5281/zenodo.22992615  10.5281/zenodo.23000910  10.5281/zenodo.18842449  10.5281/zenodo.19321534  10.5281/zenodo.23286244  10.5281/zenodo.23287669  10.5281/zenodo.20011018  10.5281/zenodo.20081078  10.5281/zenodo.20108658  10.5281/zenodo.19248039  10.5281/zenodo.23250387  10.5281/zenodo.23271072
