Abstract: Rearrangements in institutional relations among universities, industrial research, and government laboratories are a consequence of changes in the communication structures of relevant scientific communities. Recently, Gibbons et al. (1994) have proposed distinguishing between disciplinary sciences with a traditional communication structure and "network sciences'' (e.g., biotechnology, artificial intelligence) at the interfaces. I shall argue that systems of translations at the network level contain a translative or triadic episteme in addition to functionally differentiated or "dialectic" systems of communication. This trans-episteme can be elaborated from an evolutionary perspective: the translations entrain innovative dynamics between codifications. The implications of this model for the further development of social theory are specified with reference to the sciences, the economy, and the political subsystem, respectively.
