Figure 2
A diagram illustrating the relationship between boundary types, knowledge characteristics, and boundary capacities. The diagram is organized into four rows, each representing a different type of boundary: syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and temporal. Each row shows the transition from Practice x to Practice y, with increasing boundary complexity as you move down the rows. The columns represent different knowledge characteristics: difference, dependence, novelty, negative consequence, and temporal discontinuity. Each cell within the rows and columns highlights specific capacities required for crossing the boundaries, such as common language and syntax capacity for syntactic boundaries, interpretation and translation capacity for semantic boundaries, transformation to new knowledge capacity for pragmatic boundaries, and temporal orientation capacity for temporal boundaries. The diagram emphasizes that greater boundary complexity requires greater boundary object capacity.Boundary types, knowledge characteristics and boundary capacities
