Bibliothèque Scientifique Internationale: Études d'Épistémologie Génétique II. 'Piaget proposed a model of the equilibration process in a book entitled Logique et Équilibre which marked the transition toward Piaget's preoccupations during the following period of his work. The book was the result of work undertaken at the then recently created Center for Genetic Epistemology, whose main aim was to defend and illustrate the constructivist position in the face of logical empiricism. . . . In Logique et Équilibre (1957), the equilibration of forms of knowledge is based on the probabilistic model of perceptual regulations, which Piaget had observed elsewhere (and which, as he stressed, do not reach an equilibrium comparable to that of mental operations). Progress takes place in four steps: centration on one aspect of a situation; centration on the other, previously ignored aspect; oscillation between the two aspects; coordination of the two aspects. This progress toward operatory structures is like a Markovian sequence: Step 3, for instance, is more probable after step 2, but not predetermined by nor predictable from step 1. To present this model, Piaget referred both to game theory (speaking in terms of strategies, gains, returns), and to the probabilistic concepts of Ashby (1956)' (Jacques Montangero, Danielle Maurice-Naville, Piaget, or, The advance of knowledge, 1997, pp. 111-112). 'Unexpectedly Jean Piaget made some references to my work in an article related to visual perception in children and adults, published with Vinh Bang in the Archives de Psychologie ('Comparaison des mouvements oculaires et des centrations du regard chez l'enfant et chez l' adulte', 1961). This was my first academic contact with the great man and it certainly reinforced my enthusiasm with Genetic Epistemology that was already ellicited by the study of Logique et équilibre (1957), quoted in my thesis. This book was written by Jean Piaget, Léo Apostel and Benoît Mandelbrot. This was my first contact with Mandelbrot's thinking. In retrospect, Mandelbrot's co-authorship of Logique et équilibre is perhaps the most remote source of my microdiscovery of the power function on saccadic eye movements, because he gave me the right motivation to pursue this research' (Antonio M. Battro, A Fractal Story).
