The Double Bind.

quote A double bind is a dilemma in communication in which an individual (or group) receives two or more reciprocally conflicting messages. In some scenarios (e.g. within families or romantic relationships) this can be emotionally distressing, creating a situation in which a successful response to one message results in a failed response to the other (and vice versa), such that the person responding will automatically be perceived as in the wrong, no matter how they respond. This double bind prevents the person from either resolving the underlying dilemma or opting out of the situation… Double binds are often utilized as a form of control without open coercion..quandary. ..Thus, subjects may express feelings of extreme anxiety in such a situation, as they attempt to fulfill the demands of the primary injunction albeit with obvious contradictions in their actions.Thus, the essence of a double bind is two conflicting demands, each on a different logical level, neither of which can be ignored or escaped. This leaves the subject torn both ways, so that whichever demand they try to meet, the other demand cannot be met. “I must do it, but I can’t do it” is a typical description of the double-bind experience.Thus, the essence of a double bind is two conflicting demands, each on a different logical level, neither of which can be ignored or escaped.

the double bind is a interesting effect for computer sciences, since a program as well is caught in the liar paradox. The human being as well as the program come to a stand still in a liar paradox or double bind conflict. Without external intervention there are several theoretical methods:

chose one way and verify or falsify.

apply priorities.

mediation.

destruction.

unconditional love.

pricelessness.

Köstlichkeit.
