There is no LOCAL.   LOCAL is an abstract intellectual concept drummed up with language and grammar.  There is only the NONLOCAL in our sensory experience informed intuition of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum aka ‘the Tao’ aka ‘the wave-field’, which comes before the NAME-instantiated intellectual conceptualizations that contribute to a house-of-cards pseudo-reality.

The double error of language and grammar injects LOCALITY into our intellectualizing mind.  There is no LOCALITY in our sensory experience of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum.

The injecting of LOCALITY is part of the intellectualizing of our ineffable sensory experience of inclusion in NONLOCAL transformation aka ‘the wave-field’ aka ‘the Tao’.

Language based reductive intellectualizing of our ineffable inclusion in NONLOCAL relational transformation aka the Tao aka the wave-field opens the way to ‘effable-izing’ the ineffable, although as Lao Tzu points out; ‘the Tao that can be told is not the true Tao’.

In this regard, Western culture is suffering from a case of ‘the tool running away with the workman’.   That is, the tool of language and grammar which reduces the ineffable to an ‘incomplete’ ‘effable’ (e.g. as where the NOLOCAL resonance phenomenon (wave-field phenomenon) of ‘duning’ is reduced  to the LOCAL pseudo-phenomenon of ‘dunes’ that grammar imputes as having the power of sourcing their own actions and development; e.g. ‘the dunes are shifting to the south and are growing taller and longer’.

This is a reduction of the NONLOCAL wavefield (resonance) phenomenon to the LOCAL pseudo-phenomenon that is made possible by a ‘double error’ of grammar, as Nietzsche has shown; the first error is ‘naming’ to impute (in the abstracting intellect) the impression of LOCAL thing-in-itself existence and we conflate this with the second error of grammar to impute the power of sourcing actions and development to the name-instantiated thing-in-itself.  We thus reduce the NONLOCAL resonance phenomena of duning to the LOCAL thing-in-itself, ‘dune’, notionally with its own grammar-endowed action and development authoring powers.   While the reality of our sensory experience is ‘resonance’ based, our intellect supported by the tool of language and grammar, REDUCES the resonance (NONLOCAL phenomena), to an intellectual impression of LOCAL THING-IN-ITSELF (‘dune’) based phenomena.  The NONLOCAL phenomenon of ‘duning’ is thus replaced by the LOCAL (double error base) intellectual abstraction of ‘dunes’ which we use grammar to notionally equip with their own powers of sourcing actions and developments.

This is where Western culture EGO comes from since the relational forms in the wave-field (Tao) that might be more aptly termed ‘humanings’ rather than ‘humans’, analogous with ‘duning’ rather than ‘dunes’, … succumb to the sense of LOCAL PERSONAL POWER given to them by the language and grammar double error reduction that recasts we ‘humanings’ in terms of LOCAL things-in-themselves, notionally with our own powers of SOURCING actions and developments.  THIS IS WHAT ‘EGO’ IS MADE FROM.
