Your mention of #SecondOrderCybernetics made my day!
I've been arguing for over twenty years (to anyone who would listen, and almost no one gets it) that the key to the perennial paradoxes of #Consciousness, #SelfIdentity, and #FreeWill—and fundamental to a coherent #Metaethics—is understanding the relationship of the observer to the observed, especially when the observer _is_ the observed.
Now I have some reading to catch up on.

The main issue with ontological models is that they don’t make sense because they don’t include the observer. And if you do include the observer, they make even less sense. #SecondOrderCybernetics
