This text analyzes the concept of variety within the context of objective reality and its subjective representation, drawing on Jiří Zeman's 1962 work Cognition and Information. Variety is defined as the diversity of elements, their relations, and combinations within a given system. The primary thesis suggests that the variety of objective reality is typically richer and finer than its image in the subject, which acts as a reduction or a macroscopic simplification of the original. However, the text introduces a crucial nuance depending on the level of analysis. While the variety of basic elements, such as atoms, may be identical between reality and its image, the human representing system might actually possess a higher variety than objective reality when considering complex relationships between those elements. The reflection emphasizes the need for precise definitions of elements and combinations when comparing these systems. Overall, the piece explores the limits of human cognition and informational capacity in modeling the external world, raising fundamental questions about the nature of scientific and subjective representation.
