PREFACE: The ARCHITECTURE of LANGUAGE has been shaped by THREE different ways of CONCEIVING of REALITY which range from SIMPLE through LESS SIMPLE to LEAST SIMPLE which could be called ‘DIFFERENTIATION, INTEGRATION and TRANSFORMATION.  EXAMPLES;

DIFFERENTIATION: ‘the HURRICANE is (male, assertively) STIRRING UP the ATMOSPHERE’,

INTEGRATION: ‘The ATMOSPHERE is (female, inductively) STIRRING UP the HURRICANE’ and,

TRANSFORMATION: ‘SOLAR IRRADIANCE is INDUCING HURRICANING IN THE ATMOSPHERING’.

These three REALITY options have made their way into LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE which in turn has spawned division into CULTURAL VARIANTS.  The simplest options of DIFFERENTIATION and INTEGRATION support mindsets with POLAR OPPOSITE views we term CONSERVATISM and LIBERALISM.  The Conservative belief is that the world works by way of independent things that ‘assertively stir things up’ in a male-asserting forceful manner.  The Liberal belief is that the world works by way of independent things ‘inductively stirring things up’ in a female-inductive seductive manner.  While we can well picture the POLARIZING FRAGMENTATION of a social collective on the basis of the Conservative – Liberal SPLIT in understanding reality, this leaves out the people of the indigenous aboriginal culture, who encounter STRIFE in a less simple (than binary logic) manner; i.e. in a QUANTUM ‘BOTH/AND’ LOGIC of the INCLUDING medium manner.  In a weather metaphor, we can see all THREE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE REALITY PORTRAYING SCHEMES in relational context.

The DIFFERENTIATION scheme corresponds to the HURRICANE which is like a WILD MALE, BREAKING things up into pieces and scattering the pieces.  The INTEGRATION scheme is like the ATMOSPHERE which is a SEDUCTIVE FEMALE who is gathering up and integrating the pieces so the ATMOSPHERE is FEMALE INDUCTIVE and SUCKS or PULLS while the HURRICANE is MALE ASSERTING and BLOWS or PUSHES and these mental models are used as organizing ‘go-bys’ for social collectives, and BOTH seem to have their ‘relative merits’ which sets up interminable polarizing arguments since ‘Conservatives put PUSHING or ENFORCING in first priority while Liberals put PULLING or ENCOURAGING in first priority.   The THIRD and LEAST SIMPLE OPTION takes things to a HIGHER DIMENSION, the metaphor for which is SOLAR IRRADIANCE, the influence-giving LOGIC pervading the all-including energy-charged PLENUM which INCLUDES BOTH ATMOSPHERE GATHERING AND HURRICANE SCATTERING and if we ‘position our viewing selves’ within this all-including SOLAR IRRADIANCE WAVE-FIELD, we are no longer constrained to the BINARY LOGIC options of the Conservative PUSHING (hurricane stirring up the atmosphere) or Liberal PULLING (atmosphere stirring up the hurricane).  In Modern physics, this third level of logical understanding is termed ‘the including third’ (e.g. see ‘Stéphane Lupasco et le tiers inclus. De la physique quantique à l’ontologie’, by Basarab Nicolescu).

The “INCLUDING THIRD” is the WAVE-FIELD within which material forms are CONDENSATIONS as gives rise to QUANTUM LOGIC, the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDING medium.  In this QUANTUM LOGIC understanding of reality, which, by the way, is the indigenous aboriginal traditional understanding wherein ‘everything is related’  (mitakuye oyasin) by way of all things being CONDENSATIONS within an all-including WAVE-FIELD aka ‘the GREAT MYSTERY’.

So, LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURES OF ALL THREE TYPES EXIST and have their respective FOLLOWINGS although the WESTERN CULTURE is currently DOMINANT in the world and because it has chosen a BINARY LOGIC based LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, it is now in the throes of a POLARIZING FRAGMENTATION wherein roughly half of the WESTERN CULTURE FOLLOWER GROUP embraces the CONSERVATIVE reality understanding where ‘reality works by male pushing’ and the other half embraces the LIBERAL reality understanding where ‘reality works by female pulling’.   WITHOUT some kind of PSYCHOLOGICAL JOLT to get the polarized opposing mindsets UP to the less simple level of the including third where the logic is BOTH/AND rather than EITHER/OR, we remain STUCK with an interminable BINARY LOGIC based STANDOFF of Conservative versus Liberal.

(The STANDOFF is interminable because the reality is less simple than can be explained by EITHER the Conservative view where the HURRICANE  [individual] assertively stirs up the ATMOSPHERE [crowd] OR the Liberal view where the ATMOSPHERE [crowd] inductively stirs up the HURRICANE [individual] in that the less simple reality is that the SOLAR IRRADIANT WAVE-FIELD [ambient tension] is IMMANENT in the TRANSFORMING PLENUM that includes BOTH male asserting AND female accommodating POLAR AGENCIES.)

An IMPORTANT LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE “ANCHOR” that is BLOCKING our embrace of the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM lies in the LESS SIMPLE structure of DIFFERENTIATION which plays a foundational role in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE as compared to INTEGRATION which plays a foundational role in INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL ‘BOTH/AND’ language induced thinking.  That is, the language-based use of DIFFERENTIATION imposes BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC as in ‘that is EITHER part of the TOWN OR part of the LANDSCAPE’ while the language-based use of INTEGRATION imposes QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC as in ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’.

Our use of DIFFERENT LANGUAGES based on different ARCHITECTURES thus CONDITIONS the THINKING PATTERNS of our PSYCHE and it is, in WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVES, the influence of DIFFERENTIATION by way of BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC that is satisfying, in a manner akin to planting a simple Cuckoo’s egg in another less simple bird’s nest, a slot that is in need of a LESS SIMPLE fulfilment. In other words, the influence of INTEGRATION is ONE LEVEL LESS SIMPLE in a similar sense to the TOO SIMPLE DIFFERENTIATION based question of whether the HURRICANE assertively stirs up the ATMOSPHERE or whether the ATMOSPHERE inductively stirs up the HURRICANE; i.e. by OPENING OUR MIND to the less simple level of the SOLAR IRRADIANCE FIELD, we upgrade from DIFFERENTIATION to INTEGRATION and thus from EITHER/OR BINARY LOGIC to BOTH/AND QUANTUM LOGIC.  We are in VOYEUR viewing mode when we split our options into whether the HURRICANE assertively forces changes in the ATMOSPHERE or whether the ATMOSPHERE inductively pulls forth HURRICANES.   The VOYEUR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EVENTS HE IS IMPOSING JUDGEMENT ON.

In shifting to the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC, the COMPREHENDING MIND IS NO LONGER A VOYEUR BUT IS ‘the included third’ and is thus ONE-WITH-EVERYTHING which is described as follows in the terms of understanding in ADVAITA VEDANTA as shared by Schroedinger, who points out that this thinking in terms where GOD or ‘the GREAT MYSTERY’ is the whole non-visible all-including WAVE-FIELD PLENUM.  The following two quotes from Gnostic and Vedic belief both point to the transcendent “LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM’ as also in Modern physics, wherein material forms are secondary as in QUANTUM LOGIC (the all-including WAVE-FIELD is primary while material forms [condensations] are secondary) rather than primary as they are in the BINARY LOGIC based duality of ABSOLUTE MATERIAL BEING in ABSOLUTE EMPTINESS.

“Again when Jesus saw infants being nursed by their mothers he said, “These infants being suckled are like those entering the Kingdom.” And the disciples asked, “Shall we, then, as little children, enter the Kingdom?” He answered them, “When you make two one, and when you make the inside the outside and the outside the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and female one and the same…then you will enter (the Kingdom).” 

… Jesus said, “What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it…the Kingdom of the Father is spread out on the earth, but men do not see it.”  The Gnostic Gospel of Thomas

… In Christian terminology to say: ‘Hence I am God Almighty’ sounds both blasphemous and lunatic. But please disregard these connotations for the moment and consider whether the above inference is not the closest a biologist can get to proving God and immortality at one stroke.

In itself, the insight is not new. The earliest records to my knowledge date back some 2,500 years or more. From the early great Upanishads the recognition ATHMAN = BRAHMAN (the personal self equals the omnipresent, all-comprehending eternal self) was in Indian thought considered, far from being blasphemous, to represent the quintessence of deepest insight into the happenings of the world. The striving of all the scholars of Vedanta was, after having learnt to pronounce with their lips, really to assimilate in their minds this grandest of all thoughts.

Again, the mystics of many centuries, independently, yet in perfect harmony with each other (somewhat like the particles in an ideal gas) have described, each of them, the unique experience of his or her life in terms that can be condensed in the phrase: DEUS FACTUS SUM (I have become God).

To Western ideology the thought has remained a stranger.  – Erwin Schroedinger, ‘What is LIfe’, ‘Epilogue: On Determinism and Free Will’

So, what I have tried to do in this preface is to point out that we have available to us, THREE OPTIONAL FORMS of LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE for reality construction and that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are HUNG UP in a polarizing debate over whether the Conservative (simplest) level is better than the Liberal (next less simple) level or vice versa.  This ongoing polarizing debate is a distraction that blocks accepting the naturally more comprehensive (least simple) third level of reality supported by the LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which RESOLVES the POLARIZING DIFFERENCES coming from BINARY LOGIC wherein BOTH the Conservative and Liberal factions consider themselves to be made up of INDEPENDENT BEINGS with their own POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING, and differ over whether the local authoring is by way of pushing (male asserting) or by pulling (female accommodating).  There is NO SOLUTION to this Conservative – Liberal polarizing issue since THERE ARE NO INDEPENDENT BEINGS that move about and interact within a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE of INFINITE EXTENT, an imaginary realm wherein the unresolvable POLAR Conservative-Liberal CONFLICT and FRAGMENTATION originates.

Instead of empty space populated by absolute material beings, there is a QUANTUM LOGIC all-including WAVE-FIELD with CONDENSATIONS that have no INDEPENDENT BEING, thus the understanding of reality in terms of the all-including WAVE-FIELD PLENUM in which material forms are condensations is a QUANTUM LOGIC LINGUISTIC REALITY that HAS NO EXPOSURE TO THE SIMPLISTIC BINARY LOGIC based CONSERVATIVE VERSUS LIBERAL POLARIZING disagreement.  There is no polarizing disagreement since QUANTUM LOGIC LINGUISTIC REALITY CONSTRUCTIONS are innately LESS SIMPLE than BINARY LOGIC LINGUISTIC REALITY CONSTRUCTIONS in the sense that the INTEGRATION based QUANTUM LOGIC UNDERSTANDING  of the ONE ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD in which material forms are CONDENSATIONS, is LESS SIMPLE than the DIFFERENTIATION based BINARY LOGIC UNDERSTANDING of the TWO PART MATTER and EMPTY SPACE ONTOLOGY which leads to ambiguity over whether MALE MATERIAL BEINGS assertively fill FEMALE EMPTY HOLES or whether FEMALE EMPTY HOLES induce filling by MALE ASSERTING BEINGS. In the QUANTUM LOGIC world of Modern physics reality, there are no FRAGMENTATIVE BINARY LOGIC based ambiguities as in a choice of POLAR OPPOSITES, there is only BALANCE and IMBALANCE.

Indigenous aboriginal INTEGRATING language architecture is to Modern physics’ QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC as Western European Culture DIFFERENTIATING language architecture is to Newtonian physics BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC

SYNOPSIS:

In plain terms, my philosophical investigations have ‘followed up’ on the findings of Nietzsche and Bohm in regard to MISCONCEPTIONS that come to us through THE LATTER of TWO DIFFERENT FORMS of LANGUAGE based communications; INTEGRATION and DIFFERENTIATION: 

INTEGRATION: In Indigenous aboriginal languages as in Modern physics, in the form of INTEGRATION where FIGURE and GROUND are only ONE (i.e. where the GROUND is the all-including WAVE-FIELD and the FIGURE is a CONDENSATION of the WAVE-FIELD which is the QUANTUM LOGIC BOTH/AND relation).

DIFFERENTIATION: The WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE employs DIFFERENTIATION where FIGURE and GROUND are TWO (i.e. the GROUND is conceived of as ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT and the FIGURE is conceived of as a MATERIAL BASED ABSOLUTE BEING which is captured in a BINARY LOGIC EITHER/OR relation.

Languages, such as the Common Average European Languages (Whorf’s classification) are DIFFERENTIATION based and lead to FRAGMENTATION in both the WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHE and in the WESTERN CULTURE social dynamic, a DIFFERENTIATION that is the source of SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION in the form of FRAGMENTATION (see excerpt entitled ‘FRAGMENTATION’ from Bohm’s Wholeness and the Implicate Order in this essay).  The WESTERN CULTURE DOMINATED GLOBAL SOCIAL DYNAMIC is ON A PATH OF PROGRESSIVE FRAGMENTATION that is being SOWN and FUELLED by the DIFFERENTIATION based LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE of WESTERN CULTURE that is due to the LANGUAGE-based SUBSTITUTING of ‘EMPTY SPACE’ for the FEMALE WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE, so that LANGUAGE-based ‘REALITY’ CONSTRUCTIONS are in a ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING ONLY language architecture as exemplified by ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, which paints a picture of a SIMPLIFIED SUBSTITUTE REALITY, as contrasts with EASTERN (indigenous aboriginal) LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE which incorporates the full ‘ANDROGYNOUS’ WAVE-FIELD structure as in ‘there is TOWNING (male-asserting) in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (female accommodating).

THIS ESSAY reviews how WESTERN CULTURE social dynamics are FRAGMENTING as a result of the SIMPLIFIED COMMON AVERAGE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE which is DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE and thus ONE-SIDEDLY orienting to the MALE-ASSERTING CONJUGATE.  In MATHEMATICAL TERMS, this means that WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE is based on a REDUCTIVE SIMPLIFICATION of the REAL + IMAGINARY COMPLEX SIGNALLING to a ONE-SIDED ‘REAL ONLY’ SIGNALLING SYSTEM.  This SIMPLIFICATION can also be described in terms of a REDUCTIVE SIMPLIFICATION from ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING — MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATE language structure to ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING ONLY language structure.  This DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE (the equivalent to dropping out the IMAGINARY component of a complex signal), as is the case in the Common Average European Language architecture, is the source of progressive FRAGMENTATION in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based CONSTRUCTIONS of an OPERATIVE REALITY .  This WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE BASED DYSFUNCTION, for example, REDUCES the WESTERN SYSTEMS OF JUSTICE, MEDICINE and COMMERCE by SIMPLIFYING the QUANTUM LOGIC  (BOTH/AND) relation of BALANCE and IMBALANCE to the BINARY LOGIC (EITHER/OR) options of either IS or IS NOT.

This sets the stage for the reductive substituting of EITHER/OR DIFFERENTIATION in place of BOTH/AND INTEGRATION and thus ‘the TOWNS are GROWING’ in place of ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’.  In the latter INTEGRATION based conceptualizing, our understanding is that everything is in flux giving us a sense of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT nature of FIGURE  (TOWNING) and GROUND (TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE) as with the CLUSTERING of ants, which contrasts with the LOCAL and EXPLICIT nature of the DIFFERENTIATED FIGURE (the TOWN) as with the ant CLUSTER.  In the former DIFFERENTIATION based conceptualization, the imputed  BINARY LOGIC BEING based ‘CLUSTER’ serves as the LOCAL, EXPLICIT influence base for GRAMMAR-given LOCAL AUTHORING of actions such as growth and development, whereas in the latter INTEGRATION based conceptualization , the QUANTUM LOGIC ‘CLUSTERING’ serves as a gathering-scattering influence which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT in keeping with the overall ANDROGYNOUS (COMPLEX as in the REAL plus IMAGINARY) relational dynamic of TRANSFORMATION. 

In WESTERN CULTURE, the LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE OPTION has been the SIMPLIFYING OPTION which DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMODATING CONJUGATE (the ‘imaginary signal component’) and formulates constructions  by way of the REDUCTION of the WAVE-FIELD to the one-sided MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATE (the ‘real’ signal component) by DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE.  This is the equivalent of switching from INTEGRATION to DIFFERENTIATION as the basis for language-based CONSTRUCTIONS of  SUBSTITUTE REALITY; i.e. switching from the QUANTUM LOGIC ‘TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ to the BINARY LOGIC ‘the TOWN that is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’, as if it were an INDEPENDENT LOCAL EXPLICIT AUTHORING AGENCY in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT.  Such MISINFORMED FREEDOM invites actions DEEMED INDEPENDENT due to BINARY LOGIC language based on DIFFERENTIATION, actions which are instead, as understood in a QUANTUM LOGIC language based on INTEGRATION, actions within a world of global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence, the WESTERN CULTURE MISINFORMED FREEDOM being the source of FRAGMENTATION in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE influenced social dynamics.

TITLE:  The DROP-OUT in going from SENSE-EXPERIENCE informed PSYCHE to LANGUAGE-informed PSYCHE that is a function of LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE.

(more…)

FORWARD: This FORWARD is a bit of a mea culpa which is to point out that I have often fallen into the habitual trap of speaking in terms of REPRESENTATIONS of REALITY which turns out to be a CLEAR MISTAKE because language does not support the construction of REPRESENTATIONS of REALITY (the reality of our sense-experience in the transforming relational continuum is much too complex; e.g. as Lao Tzu says; ‘The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao’.)

What LANGUAGE provides is not the capability of constructing REPRESENTATIONS but the capability of SENDING SIGNALS and it is up to the RECEIVER to put Humpty Dumpty together again which, depending on the receiver’s history of sensory experiences and visual imagination, may come up with something that will call for the ritual of giving one another the ‘HIGH FIVE’ indicating that ‘we have arrived on the same page’.  However, there is no screen projection showing the respective visualizations side-by side, and if there were, it might show, when two American citizens who bump into one another in darkest Africa and HIGH FIVE each other, whereupon they may shortly thereafter discover that one of them is a right wing Republican and the other a left wing Democrat.   There point is, agreement can be shallower or deeper and we don’t always dig down deep enough to check out the fullness of our agreement.

Thus the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL and the WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT may communicate in the SIMPLE Common Average European language architecture which is BINARY LOGIC based since the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL, having been ‘colonized’, had learned to speak English, even though learned as a ‘first language’, an INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL language that is QUANTUM LOGIC based and which is less simple than WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGES which are BINARY LOGIC based.  For example, while the indigenous aboriginal would speak in terms that meant “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, he would nevertheless understand what the WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT meant by ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING things’, even though this is a SIMPLIFYING REDUCTION of the afore-mentioned ANDROGYNOUS ‘TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING’ proposition.  So it is easy for those indigenous aboriginals who grew up learning the LESS SIMPLE form of LOGIC (the QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING medium) to deal with the “DUMBED DOWN” to BINARY LOGIC (the EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED medium) LANGUAGE discourse.

GOING in the opposite direction from the SIMPLE to the LESS SIMPLE, when one has not ‘grown up with’ the LESS SIMPLE, is not so easy; i.e. the WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT who has learned a LANGUAGE that encourages THINKING in ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING BINARY LOGIC terms such as “the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’ will have more difficulty in shifting from this SIMPLE view to the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC (ANDROGYNOUS) terms of “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which includes the CONTENT and CONTAINER in conjugate relation.

In mathematical terms, this LANGUAGE shift, in the DUMBING DOWN direction, corresponds to shifting from the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC STRUCTURE  to the SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC STRUCTURE, which is EXACTLY what is happening when we shift from ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ (ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE ACCOMMODATING RECEPTION in conjugate relation with MALE ASSERTIVE EFFECTING) … to ‘The TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products’, (ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTIVE AUTHORING).

This shift from indigenous aboriginal language architecture which is QUANTUM LOGIC based to WESTERN CULTURE language architecture which is BINARY LOGIC based is the equivalent of the mathematical shift from COMPLEX to REAL signal.

What is the difference between real and complex signal?

A real signal at any given time takes its value in the set of real numbers, and a complex signal takes its value in the set of complex numbers.  

AN IMPORTANT POINT HERE is that LANGUAGE is not a system that employs REPRESENTATIONS, it is a system that employs SIGNALS that trigger the coming-to-mind of some sense-experience based situation that is in general unique to the individual.  The words SEXUAL INTERCOURSE signal recall of a certain sense-experience.  Those same words trigger very different sense-experience recall in the FEMALE than they do in the MALE.

SO, the PROBLEM is NOT that ‘THE WORD IS NOT THE THING’.  The PROBLEM IS THAT LANGUAGE DOES NOT, as assumed in WESTERN CULTURE, TRANSMIT REPRESENTATIONS; LANGUAGE TRANSMITS SIGNALS that induce sense-experience recall.

* * * end of INTRO * * *

Woven together with the KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID penchant for BINARY LOGIC based SIMPLIFICATION is the following COMMON WESTERN CULTURE CONFUSION deriving from the BELIEF IN “THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES”;

Polish-American scientist and philosopher Alfred Korzybski remarked that “the map is not the territory” and that “the word is not the thing”, encapsulating his view that an abstraction derived from something, or a reaction to it, is not the thing itself.  –Wikipedia

THERE ARE NO “THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES”.  WE LIVE IN AN ALL INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM AKA THE WAVE-FIELD.

So, while Korzybski is saying that SOMETHING IS AMISS in our LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, … HE IS MISSING THE KEY POINT which is that THERE ARE NO THINGS, but there are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM also known as the WAVE-FIELD.

WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS generally ACCEPT this comment of KORZYBSKI because it is evident that SOMETHING IS AMISS in our LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, but his statement doesn’t DIG DEEP ENOUGH. Korzybski’s proposition GIVES BACK-HANDED SUPPORT TO THE BELIEF THAT THERE ARE “THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES” and simply PUTS DISTANCE between the LINGUISTIC DESCRIPTION OF THE THING and THE THING, … reaffirming that THERE ARE THINGS and its just that its not straightforward to use WORDS to IDENTIFY the THING.

THE ‘REAL ISSUE’ is that “THERE ARE NO THINGS” since we share inclusion in an all-including fluid dynamical world aka the WAVE-FIELD WORLD which is a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.

GOODBYE BINARY LOGIC! …  HELLO QUANTUM LOGIC!

It is the notional EXISTENCE OF THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES that forces us to INVENT an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE which is necessary for there to be THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES because THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES are INDEPENDENT of the world in which they share inclusion.

Of course, MODERN PHYSICS has fallen in line with INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL, TAOIST/BUDDHIST and ADVAITA VEDANTA understanding wherein the WORLD IS AN ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (the WAVE-FIELD) locally populated by CONDENSATIONS where these CONDENSATIONS, like clouds in the atmosphere, are BOTH themselves AND the all-including energy-charged PLENUM.   This is the QUANTUM LOGIC “BOTH/AND” relation which is the understanding of the basic make-up of the world of Modern physics, Indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents.

We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS “ARE NOT PICKING UP ON THIS UNDERSTANDING” BECAUSE OUR LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE IS BINARY LOGIC BASED AND BINARY LOGIC IS INNATELY SIMPLER THAN THE QUANTUM “BOTH/AND” LOGIC WHICH captures the relationship between the ALL-INCLUDING PLENUM and the VISIBLE, TANGIBLE CONDENSATIONS OF THE PLENUM, a BOTH/AND LOGIC that is called “QUANTUM LOGIC”.

(more…)

Following below this ‘technical’ introduction is a short summary of Psycho-Linguistic Reality Construction, the techniques we use to GIVE VOICE to our sense-experience of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum, also referred to as the all-including WAVE-FIELD and ‘the Tao’.   It is evident that our views are DIVIDED as in the aphorism ‘EAST is EAST and WEST is WEST and never the twain shall meet’ (Rudyard Kipling) and this DIVISION sheds light on how THOUGHT and LANGUAGE can be ‘connected in more than one way.

This structural difference comes from a ‘preference’ as to whether we prefer to ‘SEE THINGS’ by way of DIFFERENTIATION or INTEGRATION; i.e. for example, do we want to psychologically use DIFFERENTIATION to SPLIT OUT ‘the TOWN’ and proceed to give a detailed ‘break-down’ that describes ‘the TOWN’ as if it were a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING that can be ‘taken apart’ so that we can come to know ‘IT’ by ‘its’ component parts.  Or, do we want to acknowledge that ‘everything is in flux’ so as to understand that there is “TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” in which case there are no assumptions of a LOCAL, EXPLICIT ‘BEING’ based entity and we thus need a LANGUAGE that is capable of working with NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT relations that are the stuff a fluid world (such as a WAVE-FIELD world) is made of.

We thus have the option of TWO DIFFERENT BUT RELATED LANGUAGE-based CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES.  Acronyms may be useful here for recalling these two different CONCEPTUALIZING OPTIONS; i.e. INTEGRATION and DIFFERENTIATION.

L.E.A.P. stands for Local, Explicit, Asserting, PART.  (example, a WAVE ‘PEAK’)

N.I.R.T. stands for Nonlocal, Implicit, Relational, Transformation. (example, WAVE ‘TROUGH’)

*NOTE that in the spherical space of our sense-experience of inclusion therein, the female ‘seafloor spreading’, being nonlocal and implicit is ‘higher dimensional’ and not the simple opposite of the local and explicit ‘continents that drift’, the latter expressing one-sided male-asserting action with no mention of the ‘female accommodating conjugate’.  The DROP OUT of the female accommodating conjugate leaves in its place, the impression of absolute infinite emptiness thus ‘freeing us up for constructing a language architecture based solely on one-sided male-asserting actions and development’.

Had we oriented our language architecture to the less simple ‘seafloor spreading’ as in a spherical space, this ‘nonlocal, implicit female accommodating’ sea-floor spreading is QUANTUM LOGIC transformation, …  while the simpler local, explicit, male-asserting ‘continents drifting’ is BINARY LOGIC based wherein things-in-themselves such as ‘continents’ “EITHER” move “OR” do not move and ‘IF they move, they move as if  without need of FEMALE ACCOMMODATING as if in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT.

Here we see, because we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have chosen one-sided MALE ASSERTING and DROPPED OUT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING, a language architecture that is ONLY ASSERTING and NEVER ACCOMMODATING which is the language-based source of FRAGMENTATION since there is nothing ‘connecting’ the ‘local, explicit, male-asserting, drifting continents’ in our language based construction. 

However, our  sense-experience-primed intuition will be influencing our thoughts to keep everything in relational balance and demanding an interpretation of overall INTEGRATION as in transformation, our language being nevertheless free to construct a DIFFERENTATION based FRAGMENTATION comprised of LOCAL, EXPLICIT CONTINENTS notionally with their own (GRAMMAR-GIVEN) POWERS OF DRIFTING-ACTION and DEVELOPMENT.   Note that there is this scenario no notion of an ALL-INCLUDING PLENUM IN WHICH MATERIAL FORMINGS SUCH AS CONTINENTINGS ARE CONDENSATIONS as in Modern physics.

As far as the LOGIC of these DETACHED, ‘drifting’ CONTINENTS goes, as Goedel’s Theorem points out, all finite systems of logic, while logically TRUE, are INCOMPLETE, thus we are free to speak in terms of the LOGICAL TRUTH of one-sided MALE ASSERTING ONLY “CONTINENTS DRIFTING” without mentioning any FEMALE CONJUGATE such as SEAFLOOR SPREADING.  On the other hand, if our language architecture is designed to give the foundational role to the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING SEAFLOOR-SPREADING, then the MALE ASSERTING is ‘implicitly included’.  One might even conclude that the MALE ASSERTING is NOT NEEDED since it is IMPLIED by the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING; i.e. in the all-including energy-charged PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD), MALE ASSERTING MATERIAL FORMS ARE SCHAUMKOMMEN (APPEARANCE).

Thus, if we have a flow-based language architecture as in Modern physics and as in indigenous aboriginal culture and say; ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’  or there is ‘CONTINENTING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, we avoid falling into the TRAP of using language that FRAGMENTS reality as happens when we use the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR to suggest MALE ASSERTING LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments as with, for example, ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ and ‘the CONTINENT is DRIFTING’ which gives a FRAGMENTED PICTURE due to the connecting role of the FEMALE CONJUGATE (the all-including WAVE-FIELD PLENUM) having gone MISSING due to language-architecture choices.

When we use MALE ASSERTING propositions such as ‘CONTINENTS ARE DRIFTING’ and ‘TOWNS ARE GROWING’ without mentioning the FEMALE CONJUGATES of SEAFLOOR SPREADING and ‘WILDERNESS SHRINKING’ which, if they were mentioned in our language constructions, will guide our thinking so as to comprehend the overall “INTEGRATED GESTALT’ of TRANSFORMATION, avoiding an understanding in terms of FRAGMENTATION that comes when we DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING (wave-field) CONJUGATE. 

The FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE IN LANGUAGE is essential in establishing the QUANTUM LOGIC relation as between the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING  CONJUGATE and the MALE-ASSERTING CONJUGATE where the latter is a CONDENSATION of the former in which case there is no FRAGMENTATION, and that which language and APPEARANCE casts in the BINARY LOGIC terms of MATERIAL BEING and EMPTY SPACE, must instead be understood in the QUANTUM LOGIC terms of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD and CONDENSATIONS therein, which constitute a BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING medium. 

WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE COULD HAVE  OPTED FOR A QUANTUM LOGIC FOUNDATION AS IN MODERN PHYSICS AND INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, BUT THE SIMPLER BINARY LOGIC FOUNDATION WAS CHOSEN INSTEAD, THE RESULT BEING ‘FRAGMENTATION’ BASED REALITY CONCEPTUALIZATIONS which, as Bohm has pointed out, are the ongoing source of schizophrenia and paranoia in WESTERN CULTURE social collectives (due to the infusion of BINARY LOGIC into language based conceptualizations to serve up simplified  (binary logic based) substitute realities).

That there are problems of FRAGMENTATION arising from WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based Psycho-Linguistic Reality Construction is the communications aim of this note.  The following abbreviations are to help retain the main elements of how our language can be confusing our understanding; in particular, the WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE embodies a DIFFERENTIATION based reduction from the sense-experience affirmed reality of an all-including INTEGRATION; i.e. a DIFFERENTIATION based reduction from the N.I.R.I. to the intellectual SUBSTITUTE REALITY of the L.E.A.F. 

N.I.R.I stands for Nonlocal, Implicit, Relational, INTEGRAL. (example, WAVE ‘TROUGH’)

L.E.A.F. stands for Local, Explicit, Asserting, FRAGMENT.  (example, a WAVE ‘PEAK’) 

If we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS were using N.I.R.I. capable language architecture there would be no need for these mind-jogging acronyms because we would already by working on the LESS SIMPLE plane in which the MORE SIMPLE plane is included.  But because we are using, as our understanding-supporting language, the simpler L.E.A.F. language architecture, we get stuck trying to come up with language based articulations of phenomena that are beyond capture in the simple L.E.A.F. language architecture.  If we do not remind ourselves of the limitations of our language architecture with respect to capture capability, we are exposed to endless reformulations of language based explanations in the belief that our problems of not reaching agreement are due to the limitations in our argument rather than to limitations in our language   The former can be fixed by improving the argument but the latter cannot be fixed without improving the language.

Those who polarize on the BINARY LOGIC issue of whether the (male-asserting) hurricane stirs up the atmosphere or whether the (female accommodating) atmosphere stirs up the hurricane, … if they can pause to become aware of their being immersed in the heat of the sun overhead, may become aware of the QUANTUM LOGIC structure of the phenomenon where it is no longer a BINARY LOGIC EITHER/OR issue since the AUTHORING AGENCY is coming from the solar irradiance infused WAVE-FIELD, and thus from NEITHER the MALE ASSERTING HURRICANE NOR the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING ATMOSPHERE. but from the ENERGIZED MEDIUM (the WAVE-FIELD) which includes BOTH the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING and THE MALE ASSERTING.

We are reminded here of how our LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE supports our DROPPING DOWN to the BINARY LOGIC based SIMPLIFICATION and this is the popular default in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based representation, which is a PITFALL THAT IS NOT PRESENT in indigenous aboriginal culture because of the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE wherein FIGURE and GROUND are ONE rather than TWO (this is simply a restatement of the BOTH/AND QUANTUM LOGIC structure).  Once we use the L.E.A.F. based ‘dumbing down’ to LOCAL AUTHORING by way of the LINGUISTIC DEVICE of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR, we take it for granted that what we are talking about is REALITY as if our language could only serve us in our articulating of the reality that comes to us from our sense-experience of inclusion in the world.

However, our LANGUAGE is NOT SIMPLY PUTTY IN OUR HANDS, not when we allow it to DUMB DOWN our linguistic articulation of our sense-experience of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum to VOYEUR DIFFERENTIATION.   The abstract tool of DIFFERENTIATION used in language based constructions allows us to FRAGMENT OUT the HURRICANING IN THE ATMOSPHERING (a QUANTUM LOGIC BOTH/AND RELATION), and use the Linguistic DUMBING DOWN of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR to construct a BINARY LOGIC based SUBSTITUTE REALITY featuring the HURRICANE as a notional LOCAL EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF notionally with its own GRAMMAR-given POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT as if IN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE (a substitute for the all-including PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD).

BOTTOM LINE: our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE has us SUBSTITUTE for our N.I.R.I. sense experience of integrated inclusion in the transforming relational continuum, our L.E.A.F  intellectual construction of fragmented interactions isolated from each other in an absolute, empty and infinite ‘insulating’ space.

N.I.R.I stands for Nonlocal, Implicit, Relational, INTEGRAL. (example, WAVE ‘TROUGH’)

L.E.A.F. stands for Local, Explicit, Asserting, FRAGMENT.  (example, a WAVE ‘PEAK’)

SIMPLIFIED SUMMARY of MY FINDINGS (from philosophical investigations into WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE-based social dysfunction)

My findings mirror the key findings of Nietzsche and Bohm which both point to language-induced psychological confusion within a fragmented reality.
