A notion of reflection, in a more authentically reflexive sense, was implicitly involved in the application of inquiry to itself, <math>y_0 = y \cdot y,</math> and was eventually encountered on a recurring basis in the application of each newly recognized component of inquiry to itself:  <math>y \cdot y >\!\!= d \cdot d, f \cdot f.</math> In a more substantial role, the option of a capacity for reflection was already noticed as a significant parameter in the constitution of an IF.

A notion of reflection, in a more authentically "reflexive" sense, was implicitly involved in the application of inquiry to itself, y0 = y.y, and was eventually encountered on a recurring basis in the application of each newly recognized component of inquiry to itself:  y.y >= d.d, f.f.  In a more substantial role, the option of a capacity for reflection was already noticed as a significant parameter in the constitution of an IF.

Often, an IF is founded and persists in operation long before any participant is able to reflect on its structure or to post a note of its character to the constituting members of the framework. (SS 1.3.3.5, page 14).

To avoid the types of cul de sac (cultist act) encountered above, I am taking some pains to ensure a reflective capacity for the interpretive frameworks I develop in this project. (SS 1.3.3.5, page 15).

A radical form of analysis ... requires interpreters ... to reflect on their own motives and motifs for construing and employing objects in the ways they do, and to deconstruct how their own aims and biases enter into the form and use of objects. (SS 1.3.4.12, page 36).

Thus, the radical project in all of these directions demands forms of interpretation, analysis, synthesis that can reflect a measure of light on the initially unstated assumptions of their prospective agents. (SS 1.3.4.12, page 36).

The relationships among the activities and faculties of discussion, contemplation, formalization, meditation, and reflection need to be explored in more detail.  In particular, the relationship between formalization and reflection is especially relevant to the task of constructing a RIF.

Unlike a discussion of discussion, d.d, which is easy to start and hard to put an end to once it gets going, it is difficult for a reflection on reflection, r.r, to get itself going with nothing to reflect on but itself.  I have just illustrated one way of doing this, namely, by leading a text to reflect on itself, as long as you understand this figure of speech to mean that it leads its interpreters, its writer and reader, without whose agency there would be no reflection at all, to reflect on how it reflects on itself.  But I obviously need other ways than this to demonstrate the functions and properties of reflection in anything like their full variety.
