The shift from Newtonian science to Modern physics involves an upgrade from BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM to NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING (energy-plenum) MEDIUM.

Supposing we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS had designed a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME using the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.  WE WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH MODERN PHYSICS like the indigenous aboriginal culture rather than the less capable BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM and we wouldn’t be having all of the troubles we are having with TRUMP and THE CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT because their differences derive from the simple EITHER/OR choice options of BINARY LOGIC and this constraining to the one or other of the TWO OPPOSING CHOICES would not arise if the popular logic was the more capable BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (instead of offering us a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING limits us to the choice of EITHER THIS OR THAT, we would have access to an expanded LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING including THIS, THAT and BOTH. 

For example, we can describe a wave in LOCAL and EXPLICIT terms of EITHER its PEAK or TROUGH which is a BINARY LOGIC based conceptualizing approach, or we can describe a wave by including mention of its NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING) context within which the LOCAL and EXPLICIT (MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING) is INCLUDED.

EXAMPLE: the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC approach supports simple logical propositions such as “THE TOWN IS OR IS NOT GROWING while the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC approach supports less simple logical propositions such as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” where we use the conjugate combination of BOTH MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AND FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING propositions.    

While INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS and MODERN PHYSICS employ within the foundation of their LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, the less simple BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which conveys the conjugate combination of LOCAL and EXPLICIT within NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, … We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are people who are using simple BINARY LOGIC in a foundational role in our THINKING and ACTING and at the same time, MODERN  PHYSICS is now imposing on us an increasing need for the more capable BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which acknowledges that material forms are condensations of the ENERGY-CHARGED INCLUDING MEDIUM.  For example, while it is LOGICALLY TRUE to use BINARY LOGIC and state that THE TOWN IS OR IS NOT GROWING, but it is INCOMPLETE because if FAILS MENTION the CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS and thus it FAILS TO CAPTURE ‘what is really going on as reported by our SENSE-EXPERIENCE which is that THE LANDSCAPE IS TRANSFORMING.  In order to capture the reality of the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE we need the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, we need a linguistic conceptualizing where we GO BEYOND simple BINARY LOGIC based propositions such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’, where we instead us the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where we say, THERE IS TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, as in the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME..

The indigenous aboriginal linguistic conceptualizing scheme supports the less simple STRUCTURE of the STRANDS in the WEB wherein the STRANDS are BOTH THEMSELVES AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE WEB THEY SHARE INCLUSION; i.e. the STRANDS are INTERCONNECTING and INTERDEPENDENT and this is an IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE in how a social collective thinks of themselves, as is captures in the indigenous aboriginal aphorism “MITAKUYE OYASIN’ (everything is related).

MODERN PHYSICS is now teaching us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS who have heretofore focused on SIMPLIFYING our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME giving the foundational role to BINARY LOGIC , by way of our ‘bumping into the need’ to upgrade from TOO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM  based propositions (the TOWN is GROWING) to LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based propositions (there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE), … THAT WE NEED TO “UPGRADE” our common operative LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME.

POSTSCRIPT TO: KRISTI NOEM and the DEA ABSCONDITA

My guess is that FEW PEOPLE would NOT ‘pick up’ on the “EXTREME DIFFERENCE” between the outlook of KRISTI NOEM versus the outlook of Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey on the ICE shooting and killing of Renee Nicole Good.  But perhaps even FEWER PEOPLE would be contemplating Nietzsche’s point that such events cannot be understood in a limited “LOCAL, EXPLICIT” context because of their “NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT MAKE-UP”.

Everybody knows that “TROUBLE HAS BEEN BREWING” and it involves POLARIZING ANIMOSITY between ADMINISTRATORS and the ADMINISTRATED where the ADMINISTRATORS are AUTHORIZED while the ADMINISTRATED are UNAUTHORIZED; i.e. this ORDER imposing approach is radically unlike an indigenous aboriginal HEALING CIRCLE where everyone is an equal.  In this WESTERN CULTURE ORDER IMPOSING APPROACH some people are AUTHORIZED and others are UNAUTHORIZED.   IMPOSING CHANGE through AUTHORITY is common in the WESTERN CULTURE VERSION OF “DEMOCRACY” which is radically unlike, for example, the indigenous aboriginal version of “DEMOCRACY” where  Decision-making frequently emphasizes extensive community consultation and striving for consensus, rather than simple majority rule, to ensure harmony and broad community support.

These differences are underlain by the MORE RADICAL difference in that indigenous aboriginals have the understanding of ‘mitakuye oyasin’, that everyone is related in the manner of STRANDS IN THE WEB OF LIFE whereas WESTERN CULTURE has implemented a system based on the assumption that EACH PERSON, rather than being a STRAND in the INTERCONNECTING and INTERDEPENDENT WEB, as an INDEPENDENT BEING with “ITS OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS, which is of course UNREAL (ABSTRACT) LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION that has us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS believing in the FALSE NOTION of “LOCAL AUTHORING” of actions and development.  While Nietzsche has expounded on the DOUBLE ERROR foundation of “LOCAL AUTHORING”, HOWEVER, THE WESTERN CULTURE PRACTICE OF USING THIS “REALITY FRAGMENTING DEVICE” CONTINUES TO DISTURBE THE WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHE AND THUS SOCIAL DYNAMIC;

Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531

In its origin language belongs in the age of the most rudimentary form of psychology. We enter a realm of crude fetishism when we summon before consciousness the basic presuppositions of the metaphysics of language, in plain talk, the presuppositions of reason. Everywhere it sees a doer and doing; it believes in will as the cause; it believes in the ego, in the ego as being, in the ego as substance, and it projects this faith in the ego-substance upon all things — only thereby does it first create the concept of “thing.” Everywhere “being” is projected by thought, pushed underneath, as the cause; the concept of being follows, and is a derivative of, the concept of ego. In the beginning there is that great calamity of an error that the will is something which is effective, that will is a faculty. Today we know that it is only a word.” – Nietzsche, ‘Twilight of the Idols’

SO, THIS DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING and GRAMMAR, which has undeservedly been given a foundational role in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT is the source of FRAGMENTATION in WESTERN CULTURE by way of its use in LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING.  To say “THE TOWN IS GROWING” (this is an example of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR) PROMOTES THE IMPRESSION OF THE TOWN AS A NOTIONAL “LOCAL ENTITY”, NOTIONALLY WITH “ITS OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT” (in this case, “ITS OWN GROWTH”).    We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SO ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING AND USING THIS “DOUBLE ERROR” THAT WE NO LONGER SEE THAT IT IS A “DOUBLE ERROR” in which case, we ACCEPT the NOTION of “LOCAL AUTHORING” which is a MASSIVE SOURCE OF FRAGMENTATION that does not occur, for example, in indigenous aboriginal culture where the use of FLOW-BASED (RELATIONAL) LANGUAGE captures the SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY where “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein everything is in INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT FLUX, as affirmed by Modern physics (wherein material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka wave-field).

AS DISCUSSED IN PRIOR NOTES, and as underscored hereabove by Nietzsche, “EGO” is the SUSTAINER of this FALSE NOTION OF LOCAL AUTHORING given by the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as in the example “THE TOWN IS GROWING” (here we have the LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ON ITS OWN) which eclipses the sense-experience affirmed REALITY that “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”  (here we have the full complement of NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING in conjugate relation with the LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING).   The LATTER linguistic conceptualizing scheme with the full ANDROGYNOUS COMPLEMENT is found in indigenous aboriginal linguistic conceptualizing schemes (STRAND IN THE WEB schemes) but in WESTERN CULTURE, LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING has evolved in such a manner as to DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate hence reference to the DEA ABSCONDITA aka GODDESS IN HIDING.

NOW, WESTERN CULTURE IS HAPPY WITH THIS DROP OUT BECAUSE IT SHIFTS CREDIT FOR LOCAL AUTHORING AWAY FROM THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT AND FALSELY REPOSITIONS IT AS IF ORIGINATING FROM THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT; instead of THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which is the full ANDROGYNOUS conceptualization, WESTERN CULTURE has developed the habitual DOUBLE ERROR of going with ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIIZING conjugate consisting of the combination of NAMING-INSTANTIATED BEING animated by GRAMMAR-instantiated AGENCY.  THIS WORKS AS A COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE but AT THE EXPENSE of SWAPPING OUT A FULL-BLOWN ANDROGYNOUS REALITY CONCEPTUALIZATION FOR A HALF-ASSED, MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY, CONCEPUALIZATION, which is EGO-INFLATING due to its FALSELY IMPLIED LOCAL AUTHORING POWER, and this EGO INFLATION IS WHY THIS SERIOUS DOUBLE ERROR BUILT INTO OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME “PERSISTS”.

DONALD TRUMP, EQUIPPED WITH THE DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR CAN CLAIM “I BUILT MAR A LAGO” AND  “I CAPTURED NICOLÁS MADURO”.   HERE WE HAVE THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “ON ITS OWN” without acknowledgement of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING as implicit in “TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE”.   That is, I may put words together to say that I launched my Hobi-Cat from Fort Walton Beach, but SHOULD I ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT I waited for the gap between two breakers on the beach, picking the exact moment between the breaking waves to tighten the sheet and fill sail, scooting out into deeper water to avoid getting smacked by the next incoming breaker.   What I am describing is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate to my MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING agency.  The FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE is actually the PRIMARY REALITY while my MALE ASSERTING/ACTIONS are only APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen).  It is our EUROPEAN LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that has us DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and THIS DROPOUT DOES NOT OCCUR IN indigenous aboriginal and other flow-based linguistic conceptualizing schemes where one says something like; “THE WIND AND SURF PICKED UP THE SAILBOAT LIKE A TOY AND SCOOTED IT OUT INTO THE OCEAN as a sailor onboard rode it like a bucking bronco pulling on the sail-sheets like reins.

There is ambiguity here with respect to the AUTHORING SOURCE OF ACTION.  While we are familiar with the verse “to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose” which clearly gives the highest level of influence to the transforming relational continuum we share inclusion in, we appear to have INVERTED THE ORDER of things when we say “I sailed the Hobi-cat from Fort Wilton beach to Destin harbour”.  The point is that the linguistic conceptualizing scheme we are using seems to FLIP MODES without our announcing it.

MODES OF WHAT?

AUTHOR’S PREFACE:   I would say, that for WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS (based on my former experience as such), one develops KNEE-JERK ASSUMPTIONS that are bound into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING practice that bring forth SIMPLIFIED INTERPRETATIONS of “REALITY”.  For example, we say ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING” without mentioning that THE SURROUNDINGS MUST SHRINK in conjugate relation which entails overall TRANSFORMATION of the landscape.  Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS “WARNS US” that statements that are “LOGICALLY TRUE” such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING” are INHERENTLY INCOMPLETE and therefore WHAT IS “LOGICALLY TRUE” is not REAL due to its INCOMPLETENESS, and THIS CAN GIVE RISE TO CONFUSION. In an indigenous or Modern physics FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE where we AVOID the use of NAMING-instantiated BEING, where one says for example, “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, we capture the reality of everything being in continuing transformative flux, which AVOIDS what Nietzsche calls ‘the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR’ which supports the abstraction of “LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT”.

Because of the INCOMPLETENESS of our LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS involving “LOCAL AUTHORING” such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ which simply DROPS OUT MENTION of how what is REALLY GOING ON is “THE TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE” which includes, as well, “THE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS”, we are exposed to building SERIOUS MISTAKES into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS.  For example, while those using VERB based linguistic conceptualizations such as indigenous aboriginals are using RESTORATIVE JUSTICE because, IN REALITY, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOCAL AUTHORING (violent events derive from relational dissonance which IS CO-CULTIVATED by a relational social matrix and while relational dissonance MANIFESTS by VENTING THROUGH an individual, it is NOT AUTHORED BY THE INDIVIDUAL.  For example, the RELATIONAL DYSFUNCTION in a social collective that manifests through an individual such as Ghislaine Maxwell who encouraged girls to participate in prostitution, while this dysfunction is a social relational community dysfunction (relational dissonance) VENTS through Ghislaine and others, it is NOT LOCALLY AUTHORED by Ghislaine and this is understood in indigenous aboriginal cultures where there the community response is to ACCEPT THAT THE RELATIONAL DYNAMICS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE THE SOURCE OF THE DYSFUNCTION (such as prostitution), so that a HEALING CIRCLE approach is in order, and NOT, as in WESTERN CULTURE, a SCAPE-GOATING OF THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT, the ALLEGED SICKO that, instead of being a LOCAL AUTHOR, is THE VENT for the manifest expression of TENSIONS building within the social collective.  The INDIVIDUAL such as Ghislaine … IS THE VENT through which TENSIONS in the social collective are made manifest, but that individual IS NOT THE “AUTHOR” of the acts; the community is the AUTHORING source, hence the RESTORATIVE JUSTICE approach of indigenous aboriginals instead of WESTERN CULTURE SCAPE-GOATING of the person or persons through whom the community-cultivated TENSIONS are VENTED.

It is IMPORTANT to KEEP IN MIND that “THERE ARE NO LOCAL AUTHORS of ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT” in the real world of our sense-experience wherein we, the participants in the social dynamic are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT as with STRANDS in a WEB where the SOURCE of the VIOLENT VENTING OF a STRAND is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT in origin and is LOCAL and EXPLICIT “ONLY IN APPEARANCE” (Schoroedinger’s “Schaumkommen”).  WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE IS BASED ON THE MISTAKEN ASSUMPTION OF LOCAL AUTHORING WHICH DOES NOT EXIST, IT IS A DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR.  Yes, the INDIVIDUAL STRAND IN THE WEB is the VENT for VIOLENT ACTION that stems from the BUILDUP of TENSIONS in the WEB, but the STRAND IN THE WEB THAT IS VIOLENTLY VENTING IS NOT THE AUTHOR of the VIOLENCE.

Whether the manifest action is deemed BENEFICIAl or DETRIMENTAL, it must be understood that its REAL ORIGIN is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (coming from the WEB and merely VENTING through a STRAND), rather than being LOCAL and EXPLICIT (coming from the STRAND ITSELF).  Thus, there is NEVER any such thing as LOCAL AUTHORING, there is only LOCAL VENTING that derives from NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WEB-AUTHORING.  This is the UNDERSTANDING of indigenous aboriginals, Taoism/Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta and Modern physics, and supported by NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.  The STRAND in the WEB is a metaphor for CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM where the CONDENSATIONS are “BOTH” themselves “AND” the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM THEY ARE FORMING (NONDUALITY). WESTERN CULTURE UNDERSTANDING is HUNG UP ON LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING based on the DUALISM of BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM; i.e. LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL OBJECTS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

In the STRAND IN THE WEB UNDERSTANDING, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE MAKES SENSE rather than PUNITIVE JUSTICE.  WESTERN CULTURE STANDARD PUNITIVE JUSTICE SCAPE-GOATS the IDENTIFIED PATIENT (the person identified by the finger-pointing community as an independent SICKO whose convicting and punishing effectively CONSIDERS the overall social collective, apart from the IDENTIFIED PATIENT, to be innocent-unless-proven guilty).   The imposing of the abstraction of LOCAL AUTHORING by WESTERN CULTURE PUNITIVE JUSTICE is the imposing of a SCAPE-GOATING of the IDENTIFIED PATIENT WHICH IS A MISTAKE that ignores the REALITY of the INTERCONNECTION AND INTERDEPENDENCE of the STRANDS-IN-THE-WEB (aka CONDENSATIONS IN THE PLENUM). The DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE of the INDIVIDUAL is a WESTERN CULTURE SUPPORTED ABSTRACTION that is NOT SUPPORTED by indigenous aborginal cultures, nor by Modern physics.  Indigenous aboriginals have developed a system of RESTORATIVE JUSTICE based on the interconnected and interdependent STRANDS in the WEB wherein VIOLENT outbursts are understood as NONLOCAL and RELATIONAL in origin, unlike the MISTAKEN ASSUMPTION of WESTERN CULTURE which has assumed the LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS based on what Nietzsche has pointed out is the DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR.

In the Genealogy of Morality and Twilight of the Idols. Nietzsche argues against the “superstition” that a discrete agent (the ego) exists prior to action, suggesting that “the doer” is merely a linguistic fiction superimposed upon the purported deed itself. For Nietzsche, this double error is a fundamental misinterpretation of reality driven by grammatical and psychological habits (a “superstition of logicians”). He argues that there is no independent, unified “subject” or “ego” that stands apart from its actions and causes them. Instead, actions and thoughts are part of a stream of becoming, a complex interplay of drives and physical processes, without a stable, internal “doer”. (In other words, Nietzsche argues against the “superstition” that a discrete agent (the ego) exists prior to action, suggesting that “the doer” is merely a linguistic fiction superimposed upon the deed itself.)

The reality is;… there is NO SUCH THING AS LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS as is acknowledged in FLOW-BASED LANGUAGES.  We can see WHY IT IS that indigenous aboriginals’ RESTORATIVE JUSTICE makes NO ASSUMPTION of LOCALLY AUTHORED CRIMINAL ACTIONS but instead understands VIOLENCE in terms of RELATIONAL DISSONANCE that emerges as TENSIONS that build in the community and are not resolved (as with the HEALING CIRCLE).

The NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT CONTINUING nature of the DYNAMIC WORLD of our sense-experience ARGUES AGAINST using a “LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING based FOUNDATION for LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of QUOTE/UNQUOTE “REALITY”.

The story of the old man and the horses is a Taoist parable about embracing UNCERTAINTY, illustrating how seemingly GOOD or BAD “EVENTS” are INTERCONNECTED, and we CAN’T KNOW THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME.  When the farmer’s horse runs away (bad luck), he says “Maybe”. When it returns with wild horses (good fortune), he says “Maybe”. When his son breaks his leg training them (bad luck), he says “Maybe,” and when the son is spared from war due to the injury (good luck), he still says “Maybe,” reminding us that the world we share inclusion in is an ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING CONTINUUM which our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME “FRAGMENTS” in a SUBJECTIVE manner which is OPEN TO BIAS.

For example, the October 7 Hamas massacre that killed over 1200 Israelis and took over 250 hostages was masterminded by Palestinian Yahya Sinwar who was born in the Khan Younis refugee camp to parents who had been displaced from Ashkelon in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The camp was densely packed with impoverished families, who lived in poor conditions and relied on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for basic services.  While the Isaeli-Palestinian conflict is part of a continuum, the linguistic conceptualizing habit which ISOLATES, EXTRACTS and GIVES NAMES to EVENT-SPIKES rooted in a continuing STRIFE as with the TITLE “OCTOBER 7 MASSACRE” re-presents a SPIKE in the CONTINUING STRIFE as “AN EVENT” or “VICIOUS ISOLATED ACT”.

The point is that while we use BINARY LOGIC to notionally TURN THINGS ON AND OFF to simplify our linguistic conceptualizing of such things as persisting tension instigated STRIFE, thereby reducing things (IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING) to a SEQUENCE of SEPARATE BUT RECURRENT LOCAL EXPLICIT SPIKES in the uninterrupted continuing sequence of violent UPS-AND-DOWNS.  Here we may ask; WAS OCTOBER 7th A LOCAL, EXPLICIT VICIOUS ACT OR NOT?

This  ISOLATING OF A SPIKE in a continually TENSIONED RELATIONSHIP is like the mathematical operation of DIFFERENTIATION which isolates the LOCAL AND EXPLICIT by DROPPING OUT the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, THUS “CREATING” a notional “LOCAL EXPLICIT EVENT” that will be ‘discussed and dealt with’ ON ITS OWN, based on its superficial appearance of something LOCAL and EXPLICIT which is only the TIP OF THE ICEBERG.  Thanks to this intellectual-linguistic conceptual simplification, what results is RETRIBUTION for the VIOLENT EVENT which DOES NOTHING for the root source problem of persisting RELATIONAL TENSIONS, in which case RETRIBUTION aggravates the UNRESOLVED TENSIONS, SPRING-LOADING THEM in preparedness for the next violent outburst.   Here is ANOTHER CASE where MANAGEMENT is LOCAL, EXPLICIT “EVENT-BASED” while the ISSUES are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT RELATIONAL BALANCE/IMBALANCE based.  Military force is used to PERPETUATE IMBALANCE and preserve SUPERFICIAL PEACE, but as with the FRENCH REVOLUTION, the unaddressed IMBALANCE maintains a LATENT TENSIONAL PRESENCE that will NEVER BE RESOLVED by PRETENDING that the PERIODIC ERUPTIONS of VIOLENCE are REALLY LOCAL, EXPLICIT phenomena, and NOT the product of unresolved NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT rather than LOCAL and EXPLICIT tensions.  ARE WE MISTAKEN IN OUR LABELLING OF ERUPTIONS OF VIOLENCE IN LOCAL AND EXPLICIT EVENT based TERMS rather than acknowledging the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT influences which are their real but deeper origin?  MAYBE, … MAYBE NOT!  (There is a [Goedel’s Theorem] incompleteness to all finite logical propositions)

NOTE THAT WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are commonly conditioned to think in terms of people as INDEPENDENT BEINGS, but the REALITY IS, as acknowledged in Modern physics, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta cultures, that we are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT by virtue of our being CONDENSATIONS of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM which means that we are like STRANDS in a WEB.  This is THE REALITY that WESTERN CULTURE has NOT WIDELY WOKEN UP TO, largely due to the popularity and pervasiveness of BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based LANGUAGE and THINKING.  BINARY LOGIC based linguistic conceptualizing IS TOO SIMPLE and cannot handle the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which supports the physical reality affirmed by Modern physics where the CONDENSATION (material form) is, AT THE SAME TIME, “BOTH ITSELF AND THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM IT IS INCLUDED IN”, which gives the STRAND-IN-THE-WEB relation.

 * * * * * * * END OF AUTHOR’S PREFACE * * * * * *  

WE WESTERN CULTURE-CONDITIONED PEOPLE are “SO CONFIDENT” that “WE KNOW WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT” that it makes MY JOB NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, because MY JOB, THIS TASK I AM HEREWITH UNDERTAKING, IS TO EXPLAIN HOW WE WESTERN CULTURE-CONDITIONED PEOPLE are USING A WAY OF SPEAKING, WRITING and COMMUNICATING aka A FORM OF LANGUAGE, or “LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING” that is ROYALLY SCREWED UP.

Ideally, I should NOT be trying to share with you the STORY of HOW OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME IS SCREWING UP OUR MIND, by a COMMUNICATION that is BASED ON WHAT I AM CLAIMING IS THE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that is SCREWING UP OUR UNDERSTANDING.  I think WE CAN GET AROUND THIS if we review the fact WE ARE CAPABLE OF LESS SIMPLE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING as well as the TOO-SIMPLE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that does NOT SCREW UP OUR UNDERSTANDING.  For example, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME if I say “TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME FOR EVERY PURPOSE”.

THAT IS, WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE TYPE (A) LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING wherein EVERYTHING IS IN CONTINUING FLUX so that our PARTICIPATION in the WORLD can be likened to getting one’s TIMING RIGHT as if getting into the CYCLIC REVOLUTIONS OF THE SKIPPING ROPE so that “MY ENTRÉES are in HARMONY WITH THE CYCLICITY OF THE SKIPPING ROPE”.

BUT THERE IS ALSO THE TYPE (B) LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING wherein WE ASSERTIVELY IMPOSE OUR NEW PLAN REGARDLESS of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING situation by USING A ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITION such as WE ARE CONSTRUCTING A TOWN IN THE CLEARING WE MADE BY BULLDOZING DOWN TREES TO OPEN UP THE NEEDED “EMPTY RECEPTACLE” TO ACCOMMODATE OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION.

THE TYPE (A) LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION IS where the UNFOLDING RELATIONAL DYNAMIC WE SHARE INCLUSION IN “INVITES US TO PARTICIPATE”.

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Wild geese  by   Mary Oliver

“TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME FOR EVERY PURPOSE”.

Emerson: Whilst a necessity so great caused the man to exist, his health and erectness consist in the fidelity with which he transmits influences from the vast and universal to the point on which his genius can act. The ends are momentary: they are vents for the current of inward life which increases as it is spent. A man’s wisdom is to know that all ends are momentary, that the best end must be superseded by a better. But there is a mischievous tendency in him to transfer his thought from the life to the ends, to quit his agency and rest in his acts: the tools run away with the workman, the human with the divine. (i.e. the human EGO runs away with the divine INSPIRATION). 

Emerson is describing how EGO runs away with us, and this is the MISTAKE is the point I must bring to the fore and EXPLAIN “UP FRONT” in * * * THE WESTERN CULTURE PROBLEM and its REMEDY  * * * ,  where we show how “WE” HAVE modified our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME by DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and “GOING WITH ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING” as if in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, a PSEUDO-EMPTY SPACE that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have SUBSTITUTED for the AMAZING WORLD THAT OFFERS ITSELF TO OUR IMAGINATION, CALLS TO US LIKE THE WILD GEESE, HARSH AND EXCITING, OVER AND OVER AGAIN ANNOUNCING OUR PLACE IN THE FAMILY OF THINGS.

HELLO, ONE-SIDED WESTERN CULTURE PSEUDO-REALITY BASED ON MALE ASSERTING/ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT AS IF WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE (i.e. NON-PARTICIPATING) SPACE, where everything is FULLY AND SOLELY UP TO US thanks to the SIMPLIFIELD ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME WE HAVE DEVELOPED, …. GOODBYE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING; i.e.  the AMAZING WORLD THAT OFFERS ITSELF TO OUR IMAGINATION, CALLS TO US LIKE THE WILD GEESE, HARSH AND EXCITING, OVER AND OVER AGAIN ANNOUNCING OUR PLACE IN THE FAMILY OF THINGS.

My investigative scheme is to bring everything into connective confluence, and so, for example, it does not make sense to come up with fragmented understandings when the original meaning involves many INTERCONNECTIONS and INTERDEPENDENCIES.  Systems scientists (like Martine Dodds-Taljaard and the pioneers of systems science such as Kenneth Boulding) capture this in the expression ‘The name of the devil is suboptimization’.  This WARNING is just common sense because the world of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE is such a world (a wave-field) wherein everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, where there are rivers that run through multiple countries and what one country does to that river; e.g. fish it out, or pollute it etc. in optimizing their needs as if they REALLY WERE “INDEPENDENT” as their “DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE” purpurted them to be.  SUBOPTIMIZATION of the “DECLARED” INDEPENDENT NATIONS impacts what happens in all the other countries the river passes through.  That action by that one country which pays no attention to how it impacts other countries is called SUBOPTIMIZATION, but it is more like GLOBAL SCREW-UP.

[Author’s comment: This essay opens the door to comparisons between understandings that differ based on WHICH TYPE of LOGIC is being used in their capture and presentation; i.e. the LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM and/or the SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.  For example, we may describe the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE in which there is TOWNING as a dynamic, included feature wherein the TOWNING is INCLUDED within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE as requires the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, and ALTERNATIVELY, we may SEPARATELY FOCUS on ‘THE TOWN’ and describe ‘the TOWN’ as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF that is undergoing “ITS OWN GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT” as if within an EMPTY REFERENCE FRAME.  A note on the differing, CULTURE-BASED logic preference can be found in Appendix II]

Ok, that is just one example of PROBLEMS arising from “TAKING SERIOUSLY” our DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE and corresponding MAKE-BELIEVE (behaving as if we were independent and thus pursuing SUBOPTIMIZATION while in reality we are woven into a matrix of INTERCONNECTIONS AND INTERDEPENDENCIES), This is why our WESTERN CULTURE SOCIETY is commonly FRAGMENTED because even within a country where WE SAY things are divided up into provinces or states, there are problems with, for example, the more  populous provinces or states consuming or messing up more of the atmospheric or river system based resources and in the process screwing up access to resources essential to the innately INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT brother and sister provinces and states. By using language that (falsely) treats the provinces or states as INDEPENDENT, we contradict the physical reality of our own presuppositions;

As regards the academies, they are established in order to regulate the studies of the pupils and are concerned not to have the program of teaching change very often: in such places, because it is a question of the progress of the students, it frequently happens that the things which have to be chosen are not those which are most true but those which are most easy. And by that division in things which makes different people form different judgements, it so happens that certain people are in error contrary to their own opinion.” – Johannes Kepler, ‘Harmonies of the World’

In plain and simple terms, if we are sometimes speaking of the TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and implying the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the TOWNING is a dynamic FEATURE WITHIN the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, … and AT OTHER TIMES, speak of the TOWN AS IF IT WERE A THING that is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods, while it makes our linguistic conceptualizing SIMPLER, puts that SIMPLER CONCEPTUALIZATION … “AT ODDS WITH”… our sense-experience affirmed awareness wherein THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

We can see that this is a general issue because of our WESTERN CULTURE habit of TALKING ABOUT THINGS and WORKING ON THINGS as if they are SEPARATE THINGS even though we live in a world that is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT (an ‘energy-charged PLENUM filled with CONDENSATIONS.)

Inquiry into WHAT IS GOING ON HERE causes us to reflect on the type of LOGIC we are using, and while indigenous aboriginals and modern physics use NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM, Western Culture folks commonly use BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM (where we assume that space is empty).  So, consider how BINARY LOGIC ‘works’ (has us thinking) in the case of INDEPENDENT NATIONS.  We actually COMPETE on an INTER-NATIONAL basis in such things as concern material GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.   Once we start TALKING in BINARY LOGIC terms of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION there is a DISCONNECT in that what is REALLY GOING ON is TRANSFORMATION of the OVERALL LANDSCAPE.

For example, supposing that all the nations in the world are COMPETING in their production of wood products.  Canadian forest product industries are in competition with American and Brazilian and Russian etc. forest product producers and all of these competitors are investing in their own industrial GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, … but while nobody is talking OUT LOUD about it, what is also occurring is SHRIINKING of the FORESTS, AGING and COLLAPSING of the former DEVELOPMENT, and outright CONSUMPTION of what is being PRODUCED, … and all of these FEMAEL ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate dynamics add together with all of the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION so that “WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IS TRANSFORMING OF THE OVERALL LANDSCAPE”.

Indigenous aboriginals use language that is “FLOW-BASED”  rather than “BEING-BASED”  so that there is acknowledgement that The GROWING OF THE TOWN IS PART OF A TRANSFORMATIVE DYNAMIC that includes the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS , so that one can never rightly speak GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION a if these were REAL THINGS because THEY ARE NOT REAL THINGS.  What is REAL is the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE which includes BOTH the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION TOGETHER WITH (IN ONE CONJUGATE PACKAGE WITH) SHRINKING of WILDERNESS, AGING and COLLAPSE of prior DEVELOPMENT and CONSUMPTION of PRODUCTION.  The REALITY of what’s going on here is TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE, an understanding that is built into indigenous aboriginal FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING while our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is in terms of MATERIAL-BEING based GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.

OK, there are STILL more mistakes as to how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS express things with our simplistic one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY way of speaking about CHANGE that we are being forced to deal with, than these I have mentioned, and NOTICE that the core problem is that our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING APPROACH is to USE THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING aspect ONLY

This MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION is NOT REAL because it is constrained to the LOCAL and EXPLICIT and leaves out mention of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.

In other words, we capture all of the male asserting/actualizing stuff which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT such as the TOWN is GROWING, but we DROP OUT MENTION of the female accommodating/enabling stuff which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT which is the more basic part of TRANSFORMATION.  So here we see the problem, in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, of FRAGMENTATION pointed out by Bohm, and we can see how we add to that problem when we consider Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS (i.e. this includes these one-sided incomplete MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITIONS such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’).  Goedel’s Theorem is reminding us that this PROPOSTION, “THE TOWN IS GROWING” is INCOMPLETE.  NOTA BENE! … WATCH OUT BECAUSE WE ARE CONFUSING OURSELVES BY FRAGMENTING OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF REALITY with all of these INCOMPLETE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING” without mentioning the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate “THE WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING”.
