The appreciative world..

.. how we know our world, combining both perceived facts and values, especially mediated by social communication.
(Vickers, in Blackmore, 2010, ch. 2).

An appreciative system is the "iterative and reflexive process" of appreciating the (a) facts and (b) values concerning a combination of events and ideas [a situation] (see figure below).
(Blackmore, 2010, p. 96-7).


Figure: Appreciative system (based on Checkland and Cesar, in Blackmore, 2010, p. 21, as developed in OU, 2010, p. 112)

The appreciative setting is a state of an appreciative system, in time, or focus (readiness-to-see, readiness-to-value or readiness-to-do) (cf. OU, 2010, p. 171).
