To Express The Same Idea In Still

Before Games Are Played In Common, No Rules In The Proper Sense Can Come Into Existence. Regularities And Ritualized Schemas Are Already There, But These Rites, Being The Work Of The Individual, Cannot Call Forth That Submission To Something Superior To The Self Which Characterizes The Appearance Of Any Rule.

If A Baby Really Has No Awareness Of Himself And Is Totally Thing-directed And At The Same Time All His States Of Mind Are Projected Onto Things, Our Second Paradox Makes Sense: On The One Hand, Thought In Babies Can Be Viewed As Pure Accommodation Or Exploratory Movements, But On The Other This Very Same Thought Is Only One, Long, Completely Autistic Waking Dream.

Chance... In The Accommodation Peculiar To Sensorimotor Intelligence, Plays The Same Role As In Scientific Discovery. It Is Only Useful To The Genius And Its Revelations Remain Meaningless To The Unskilled.

Mixture Of Assimilation To Earlier Schemas And Adaptation To The Actual Conditions Of The Situation Is What Defines Motor Intelligence. But And This Is Where Rules Come Into Existence As Soon As A Balance Is Established Between Adaptation And Assimilation, The Course Of Conduct Adopted Becomes Crystallized And Ritualized. New Schemas Are Even Established Which The Child Looks For And Retains With Care, As Though They Were Obligatory Or Charged With Efficacy.

Every Acquisition Of Accommodation Becomes Material For Assimilation, But Assimilation Always Resists New Accommodations.
