Where the CRAZY comes from in our WESTERN CULTURE

PROLOGUE: The findings in this philosophical investigation are expressed in this language; i.e. English, which has a Common Average European Language Architecture that lacks the sufficient complexity to express its own shortfalls since it now lacks the comprehensive reach it would need to address the complexity which it was precipitated from by way of simplification. That is, this current English language employs a simplified architecture which no longer HAS THE MEANS to craft representations of the complex reality that ENGLISH now consistently DUMBS DOWN in order to convey it in the limited terms of ENGLISH.
The DUMBING DOWN built into ENGLISH and the CAE languages is by giving BINARY LOGIC a foundational role in the language, putting QUANTUM LOGIC, which is more complex, beyond the REPRESENTATIONAL CAPABILITY of English. For example, We can speak of QUANTUM LOGIC as if it were something accessible to understanding, which it is, but that is not the same as being able to build QUANTUM LOGIC based linguistic representations wherein FIGURE-and-GROUND-are-ONE. Supposing one can see that TOWN and COUNTRY are only one, or that in general, INHABITANT and HABITAT are only ONE as is the implication of QUANTUM LOGIC.
When we go to talk about dynamics in this ENGLISH LANGUAGE, we only have a NOUN and VERB structure to work with so while we can put together words that express the idea that the INHABITANT moves through the HABITAT, ENGLISH lacks the capability of directly expressing TRANSFORMATION wherein FIGURE-and-GROUND-are-ONE rather than TWO as in a WAVE-FIELD or FLOW where there is no longer ONE THING moving THROUGH ANOTHER THING.
First, it is useful to speak to the GROWTH of the FIGURE and only separately speak to the SHRINKAGE of the WILDERNESS. But IN SENSE EXPERIENCE REALITY, there is only ONE thing going on and it is TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE which captures BOTH at the SAME TIME. The BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is QUANTUM LOGIC which doesn’t NEED to DUMB the talk DOWN to BINARY LOGIC based terms of an INDEPENDENT FIGURE that is separate from an INDEPENDENT GROUND. But we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have a LANGUAGE-based REPRESENTATION scheme which DOES EMPLOY BINARY LOGIC based FRAGMENTATION. In sense-experience reality, TRANSFORMATION is DIRECTLY EXPERIENCE-ABLE regardless of what LANGUAGE is and is not capable of REPRESENTING.
BECAUSE ENGLISH is constrained to BINARY LOGIC based REPRESENTATION wherein something “EITHER” IS “OR” IS NOT and is not architectured to deal with REPRESENTATION wherein something”BOTH” IS “AND” IS NOT as in TRANSFORMATION, there can be no expression, in ENGLISH, of TRANSFORMATION that is all-inclusive (that implies to all of reality). In English language based representation “TRANSFORMATION” can only apply to a FIGURE in the GROUND where FIGURE and GROUND are TWO so that while TRANSFORMATION could apply to the FIGURE and the GROUND separately, TRANSFORMATION where FIGURE-and-GROUND-are-ONE as in QUANTUM LOGIC is not directly expressible in the ENGLISH LANGUAGE because ENGLISH LANGUAGE based REPRESENTATIONS are BINARY LOGIC based and thus treat FIGURES as INDEPENDENT of GROUND.
LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURES that can directly handle QUANTUM LOGIC wherein FIGURE-and-GROUND-are-ONE, such as Algonquin, are flow-based and do not start from a BINARY LOGIC based foundation of NAME-based THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES with GRAMMAR animated powers of GROWTH and PRODUCTION as if living in a GROUND that is INDEPENDENT of the FIGURE. In a QUANTUM LOGIC reality, FIGURE and GROUND are only ONE so that it is impossible to use language that employs representation based in the MALE ASSERTIVE TERMS of WHAT THINGS DO. Once such BINARY LOGIC based language is employed, a SUBSTITUTE REALITY is CONSTRUCTED wherein the abstraction of FIGURE-and-GROUND-as-TWO becomes the notional operative reality.

In all of these recent notes, including those pointing to problems with the COVID 19 immunization strategy, there is the suggestion of a common SUBSTITUTE REALITY which the reader may not ‘detect’ because it is our WESTERN CULTURE SUBSTITUTE REALITY that we are currently using as our OPERATIVE REALITY.
This SUBSTITUTE REALITY is a VISION based REPRESENTATION as could be captured by a MOVIE CAMERA showing images ‘out there in front of us’. This SUBSTITUTE REALITY is NOT the SENSE-EXPERIENCE reality of our INCLUSION in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM which is INEFFABLE-because-NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (it is a TRANSFORMING FLUID CONTINUUM that we share INCLUSION IN).
So, the SUBSTITUTE REALITY that we are using is a REDUCTION of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY in the sense that when we say ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, it is a kind of VOYEUR VIEW of something that is BEYOND CAPTURE by voyeur viewing.
SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY IS something that continues around and behind and above and below us that we are included in; i.e. we are included in the transforming relational continuum. This SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY that is beyond capture by voyeur viewing is THE REAL REALITY from the point of view of Modern physics and also from the point of view of indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. The adjective “REAL” in front of ‘REALITY’ is used here to emphasize that we use language to construct REPRESENTATIONS of sense-experience, or in other words language-based SUBSTITUTE REALITIES which differ in their approach to conveying SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY. For example, the “EASTERN” approach is to use language to construct relations-based impressions of reality without using NAME-based LOCAL OBJECTS, while the “WESTERN” approach is to construct LOCAL OBJECT based scenarios. For example, the EASTERN CULTURE language representations are in such terms as ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE while the WESTERN CULTURE language representations are in such terms as ‘the TOWN that is GROWING larger and more populous and productive’.
