Abstract: Technological knowledge flow is mainly through two paths—formation of spiritual concepts and transformation of technological practices into technological artifacts, which is transmitted dynamically with technological practices serving as the mediating means. As the technological subject, human beings apply various types of technological knowledge, improve or create technological artifacts, and eventually realize an efficient flow of technological knowledge. The dynamics, finality and classifiability of technological knowledge exert logical effect on technological practices, promoting the formation of technological knowledge and then transforming it into a technological artifact. Technological knowledge flow (TKF) is subject to practice (P) and a certain technological approach (A). Under the influence of the dynamics (D), finality (F) and classifiability (C) of technological knowledge, an effective flow of technical knowledge can be achieved.

Key words: technological knowledge flow, technological practice, technological artifact, inherent logic
