I didn’t mean to propose the difficulty frame as the answer to what complexity is really about. Although I’m realizing now that I kinda wrote it in a way that implied that.
I think what I’m going for is that “theorizing about theorizers” seems to be pointing at something more akin to difficulty than truly caring about whether the collection of parts theorizes. But I expect that if you poke at the difficulty frame you’ll come across issues (like you have begun to see).
Hm, good points.
