The dynamical context is complimentary to the situational context

2. Jan: Do you want to eat?
Pat: Yeah.
Topic eat: hungry food
An orientation is shared between Jan and Pat.
• Jan knows Pat is hungry.
• Pat knows Jan is talking about food.
It is a sequence: If hungry Then food.
An orientation is a normative response and is well anchored in a system.

What is a Dynamical Context?

3. The topic eat is situational in the sense that it involves a context. However,
eat is also a dynamic. It is an action that can be decoupled from the context.
Theoretically, an orientation decoupled from a Situational Context may become a Dynamical Context.
This means that a decoupled orientation may now be coupled to new situations.
Topic Eat: hungry success
Pat: Can you manage another project?
Jan: Just keep feeding me!
Dynamic sense is repurposed.

What is a Dynamical Context?

4. The word-sensibility model provides two systems of context, the Situational Context and the Dynamical Context.
A Dynamical Context is not the same as a dynamic context. A dynamic context has changes that are simply
dynamics of the Situational Context. The Dynamical Context refers to the agent’s orientation to a situation.
Although the Dynamical Context deals with changes, it does this from its zero-point of orientation — its constant.
The orientation is central to its dynamical system but it does not change, therefor it is not dynamic, but dynamical.
A Dynamical Context Orients an Agent to a Communication
A Dynamical Context is a frame of reference for a communication.
Its primary function is to provide a homeostatic sense of orientation.

Dynamic Sense

5. For a Dynamical Context to have truth conditions it requires a Situational Context.
• Only when coupled to a situation can a Dynamical Context have meaning.
When an Agent reads, the agent compares the
Situational Context with the Dynamical Context.
A Dynamical Context Orients an Agent to a Communication
Without a Dynamical Context there is no grounding — no way of comparing— no orientation.

6. Dynamical Contexts are represented in quadranyms.
Situational Context are represented in Words and Sentences.
Matching: The primary task is to match words and sentences to quadranyms.
The word-sensibility model is a way to represent the relations between the Dynamical and Situational Contexts.

10. The Dynamical Context
Unpacking words with word-sensibility analysis begins with a distinction
in the contextualizing of word sense.
A Situational Context is the communicative ability to present or
understand the objective circumstances in which an event occurs and
will sometimes include the appropriate behaviors associated with it.
We introduce the idea of a Dynamical Context which is something
different and can be generally described as follows:
• Dynamical Context: a situation resonates with a preexisting
psychology, a predetermined expectation for behavior within that
situation, and produces a synergy response, reshaped for the moment.
• Dynamical Contextual Systems: characterized by the potential for
multiple dynamic areas and interactions between them.
