Steven D. Hales appears only as a passing citation in these course materials, surfacing primarily through Luciano Floridi's philosophical work on levels of abstraction (LoA) and informational approaches to structural realism. His invocation here supports Floridi's argument that comparative analysis—whether of architecture or scientific history—requires specifying the abstract level at which the comparison operates, a concept crucial for understanding how AI systems and cybernetic models must similarly define their operative levels to avoid category confusion.
