The commentary in this note is a ‘follow-up’  to the essay at; https://goodshare.org/wp/revisiting-the-errors-we-made-in-designing-our-language-architecture/

 

I find it very curious when I step back and take a look at the architecture of the language we are using, and then return to my usual use of language because when I’m discussing language architecture, the screw-up is so obvious, but when I return to normal usage mode, I am using English to try to express my self as clearly as possible but it really doesn’t matter how carefully I choose my words, its still the same language, English, and the psychological mind-screwing is NOT in my words, it is in the language I am using (English).

 

Let me be clear on this, in the same manner that Goedel has been clear in his Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS of all finite logical propositions.

 

EXAMPLE: I say that my farm has been GROWING; e.g. it was 2 acres and it “HAS GROWN” to 40 acres.   We understand this RATIO-NALLY or by way of REASON, and we can IMAGINE how something GROWS BIGGER OVER TIME, like a CHILD which grows from an invisible fertilized ovum into a two hundred pound youth.   This a REASONABLE understanding, not of the ‘workings of NATURE’ but of the ‘workings of our REASONING INTELLECT’.   It is a WESTERN CULTURE way of understanding ‘reality’, or rather of CONSTRUCTING REALITY, because we have recently come around to a different understanding, which accords with indigenous aboriginal culture mode of understanding which accords with Modern physics, where we GET RID OF the abstract concept of GROWTH which is based on RATIO and understand what was formerly GROWTH in terms of TRANSFORMATION.  We did this because we recognized that GROWTH was a one-sided MALE-ASSERTING abstraction that failed to include conjugate SHRINKING that is part of NATURAL phenomena such as when we have a potted plant in our home that, as it GROWS, is accompanied by a CONUGATE SHRINKING of navigable open space, which TRANSFORMS the pattern of our movements which are relative to the GROWTH of the plant.

 

DOES TRANSFORMATION ALWAYS ACCOMPANY GROWTH?  There is a trickiness in language which shows up here because GROWTH is ABSTRACTION based on RATIO which keys to a LOCAL THING-IN-ITSELF and HAS NO DEPENDENCE ON THE WORLD IT IS INCLUDED IN.
