Abstract

This article examines the concept of distinction developed by George Spencer-Brown in his work "Laws of Form", understood as a triunity between the indicated, the non-indicated, and the boundary. Through an onto-epistemological analysis, the laws and concepts associated with distinction in Spencer-Brown's work and their implications for a more comprehensive understanding of knowledge are explored. It is argued that this notion challenges traditional dichotomous views and allows for rethinking knowledge as a dynamic, situated process open to dialogue with the non-indicated. The article concludes that this approach provides valuable foundations for overcoming fragmented perspectives on knowing.
