‘Duning’ is the manifesting of RESONANCE (relational wavefield dynamics) which is inherently NONLOCAL and the wavefield aka ‘the Tao’, is inherently INEFFABLE because it is NONLOCAL.

So, in order to ‘EFFABLE-IZE the INEFFABLE we must ‘LOCALIZE-the-NONLOCAL’; i.e. the resonance based forms in the Tao we understand to be ‘duning’ or ‘humaning’, figure-in-ground formings wherein the ‘figure’ and ‘ground’ is ‘appearance’ based and NOT ‘ontology’ based.  As with the figure and ground in a Cat’s paw where a gust of wind induces a ‘puckering up’ of the water, there is no ontic independence of the ‘puckering’ (figure) and the water (ground).  In the Tao as understood in modern physics as the ‘wave-field’ aka the ‘transforming relational continuum’, … as with figure and ground  generally whether termed ‘inhabitant’ and ‘habitat’ or whatever, there is no ‘ontic independence’

But because there is no ontic separation of figure and ground in the real-life reality of the Tao (wave-field) in which all is included; i.e. because distinguishing between figure and ground is purely ‘appearance based’ as with the Cat’s paw moving over the ocean and the ocean, it is an error (the double error spoken of by Nietzsche) to say that ‘the cat’s paw is moving’.  The water surface is ‘puckering’ but there is no LOCAL ‘thing-in-itself’ (‘cat’s paw’) ‘moving’ across the water.

In the Tao, and in the understanding of modern physics and the wave-field, there is never any LOCAL thing-in-itself with the power of sourcing its own movement and shape-shifting as we Western culture adherents use language and grammar.  Yes, there is ‘duning’ as in wave-field resonance phenomena (‘puckering’ of the spacetime continuum) but there are no LOCAL things-in-themselves with ‘powers of sourcing actions/movements and development).  LOCAL THING-IN-ITSELFNESS is language and grammar based abstraction.  LOCAL THINGNESS does not exist in the Tao; i.e. it does not exist in our actual sensory experience of inclusion in the inherently NONLOCAL transforming relational continuum (the wave-field aka the Tao).

But here we are, we NONLOCAL ‘humanings’ in the Tao, and we have developed a very useful method of dumbing down the NONLOCAL to an ersatz LOCAL for SHARING our ineffable experience of inclusion in the Tao.  And the fact that we have developed ‘language and grammar’ to make possible the ‘SHARING’ of a dumbed down version of the ineffable NONLOCAL Tao, … may diminish but not extinguish the huge value of ‘rendering intellectually shareable’ a reduced to effable version of the ineffable.

WHAT REDUCTIONS ARE INVOLVED IN MAKING THE INEFFABLE-BECAUSE-NONLOCAL Tao EFFABLE?

ANSWER: — THOSE REDUCTIONS THAT REDUCE THE NONLOCAL TO THE LOCAL.

THE REDUCTION FROM NONLOCAL TO LOCAL BRINGS INTO PLAY AN UNAVOIDABLE AMBIGUITY;
