Everywhere in my philosophical investigations I keep bumping into the confusion coming from ambiguities in the basic architecture of our language; i.e. does the hurricane source the stirring up of the atmosphere or does the stirring up of the atmosphere source the hurricane?

These ambiguities are everywhere and are duly noted in the Zen koan of ‘wind-and-flag’ i.e. does the movement of the air source the movement of the flag or does the movement of the flag source movement of the air.

As modern physics and the understanding of EASTERN CULTURES will tell us, we don’t need to waste our time trying to solve this one ambiguity because it is based on the abstract concept of LOCAL SOURCING and there is no such thing as LOCAL SOURCING, there is only NOLOCAL TRANSFORMATION as is the nature of the Wave-field.

We are confusing ourselves with our own language; … more specifically, we are confusing ourselves by having built into our language the DOUBLE ERROR based concept of LOCAL SOURCING where the FIRST ERROR is NAMING which imputes the existence of a LOCAL THING-IN-ITSELF and we conflate this with the SECOND ERROR of GRAMMAR that notionally endows the FIRST ERROR based THING-IN-ITSELF with ‘its own’ powers of SOURCING actions and developments.

This DOUBLE ERROR is how we construct the abstraction of LOCAL SOURCING, and guess what this does for us.  It allows us to build EFFABLE-because-LOCAL-and-EXPLICIT actions and developments, whereas, without the DOUBLE ERROR, our language lacked the capability of dealing with TRANSFORMATION which is INEFFABLE-because-NONLOCAL-and-IMPLICIT.

The DOUBLE ERROR doesn’t OVERCOME this problem that reality of TRANSFORMATION is INEFFABLE, it SIDESTEPS it by instead CONSTRUCTING A SUBSTITUTE REALITY that IS EFFABLE-because-LOCAL-and-EXPLICIT.
