Ontology problem. Can "interinstitutionality" (by analogy to "intersubjectivity") be considered the same as "public"?
Which is the intent of my proposition. i think that significance has been overstated. Much of the explanatory power of a "public" seems reducible to the institutional web. There's not a whole lot for the public qua public to do besides believe in grand narratives.

Myself, I find “public” to be overly vague as an analytic construct. I assume that “public” is very important to some disciplines and theories. But I am not engaged in any of them.

My assumption is that “public” is simply a catch-all category for everything in a social system that is not explicitly defined ontologically. (Also not private to agents)
