PREAMBLE: The language-and-grammar-built notion of MALE-ASSERTING actions and developments transpiring within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE is playing a foundational role in WESTERN CULTURE conceptualizing of ‘reality’.  This abstract BINARY LOGIC based SUBSTITUTE REALITY is being used within our WESTERN CULTURE language scheme to coordinate actions and understandings; i.e. this BINARY LOGIC based SUBSTITUTE REALITY is being used as our WESTERN CULTURE OPERATIVE REALITY.   This “SIMPLISTIC” BINARY LOGIC based SUBSTITUTE REALITY now serves as our WESTERN CULTURE OPERATIVE REALITY which differs substantially from the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC based reality of Modern physics, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta comprehends TOWNING and TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE  AS ONE (where the MATERIAL INHABITANT FORMS are CONDENSATIONS of the WAVE-FIELD HABITAT).  

The SIMPLER BINARY LOGIC understanding is of a SUBSTITUTE REALITY where TOWN and COUNTRYSIDE are psycho-LOGICALLY (using BINARY LOGIC) divided into TWO SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT ONTOLOGICAL REALMS; the separate realms of  (a) A LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL THING-IN-ITSELF, and (b), AN IMPLIED EMPTY and INFINITE CONTAINING SPACE.  The latter over-simplistic BINARY LOGIC based SUBSTITUTE REALITY has been and continues to be used as the WESTERN CULTURE “standard operative reality”, the consequence of which is rising dysfunction due to the GAP between the intellectual abstraction of the BINARY “EITHER/OR” LOGIC based substitute reality and the SENSE-EXPERIENCE of inclusion in the QUANTUM “BOTH/AND” LOGIC (where the CONDENSATIONS of the WAVE-FIELD are BOTH distinct relational forms in the flow AND are the flow, … as with the QUANTUM LOGIC whorl and flow relation in fluid turbulence.)

My philosophical investigations into how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS seem to be screwing up have steadily converged on the following understanding; i.e. that our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE USAGE is BINARY LOGIC based which is THE SCREW UP.  Modern physics gives us a QUANTUM LOGIC understanding of reality.  QUANTUM LOGIC is basically about BALANCE and IMBALANCE; i.e. it is the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.  Here we can think in terms of TOWNING as a developing within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.  There, … I have just described the QUANTUM LOGIC relation which is between the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and the TOWNING within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

Notice that there is a separate REFERENCE FRAME when we picture a TOWN GROWING within a MAP GRID so that we can watch the TOWN GROW as if it were a THING-IN-ITSELF getting larger, and we can measure it relative to the fixed MAP GRID.  However, in the space on the surface of a sphere, as the area of a development grows, there is a conjugate shrinking of the ‘wilderness area’ so that what is going on overall is TRANSFORMATION and there is only GROWTH with respect to an abstract ABSOLUTE REFERENCE FRAME which is intellectual abstraction and not sense-experience affirmable.

In other words, GROWTH could only happen within an ABSOLUTE SPACE and in the space on the surface of a sphere, GROWING (MALE ASSERTING) is only found in CONJUGATE RELATION with SHRINKING (FEMALE ACCOMMODATING).

WITHOUT THE MEASURING GRID we see only TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE where the TOWNING is NOT A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT THING but a relational FEATURE within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

So, we can imagine two groups of people where;

-1- ONE GROUP decides to FOCUS their observations on the TOWN that is growing within the ABSOLUTE MEASURING GRID

-2- ANOTHER GROUP decides to FOCUS their observations on the TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE where the TOWNING BELONGS TO THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and is a FEATURE WITHIN the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.  Here, there is no dependence on ABSOLUTE SPACE with ABSOLUTE REFERENCE GRIDS.

It would be a MISTAKE in example 2, to say ‘the TOWNING is GROWING because ‘the TOWNING’ is NOT an independent THING-IN-ITSELF with its own powers of GROWING, the TOWNING is a relational feature inextricably included within the ONE-NESS of the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.  That FIGURE-and-GROUND “ONE-NESS” is “QUANTUM LOGIC”.

The common WESTERN CULTURE MISTAKE is that we condition ourselves to think in language-based MALE ASSERTING terms even though, in our sense-experience reality, the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING always takes PRECEDENCE.  If we are a race-car driver and our movements an the track are recorded by a paint sprayer installed on one of the wheels so as to leave a continuing trajectory traced out on the pavement so that we can review the trajectory when the cars have all departed, the interpretation of the trajectory in terms of our MALE-ASSERTIVE AUTHORING ACTIONS would be meaningless because our steering and movement has been inductively shaped by the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING OPENINGS in the relational traffic configuration and our MALE ASSERTING actions and developments are SECONDARY to the inductive influence of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING opening that is the PRIMARY SHAPER OF OUR ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS.

Why even invoke the abstraction of a “REFERENCE FRAME” (since motion is relative as in ‘transformation’, why pretend movements are absolute by referring them to an absolute reference frame?  The imposing of the reference frame is what reduces relative movement to “NOTIONALLY ” ABSOLUTE MOTION (i.e. the reference frame is itself moving and if the reference frame is thought to be INFINITE in extent, we are thus INVENTING a BINARY LOGIC based on the distinction between the LOCAL and EXPLICIT FIGURE and the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT INFINITE CONTAINING SPACE.  With QUANTUM LOGIC, the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WAVE-FIELD INCLUDES EVERYTHING, including the LOCAL and EXPLICIT “CONDENSATIONS” which are not SEPARATE from the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WAVE-FIELD but INCLUDED WITHIN IT.  Thus the LOCAL and EXPLICIT aspect is, as Schroedinger points out, SCHAUMKOMMENT (APPEARANCE).  WELCOME TO THE HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE!.

“Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” — David Bohm

In FACT, we might ask whether there is any such thing as MALE-ASSERTING ACTION other than as a grammatical abstraction.

THAT IS, … it is NOT THE SAME THING to understand our movement relative to the openings in the relational matrix of participants, as understanding our movement relative to an absolute reference frame or ‘coordinate system’.  In the first case, there are only relations as in QUANTUM LOGIC and there is no BINARY LOGIC based SPLIT between BEING and EMPTY SPACE.

Here we come up against the question of the “REALITY” of the notion of MALE ASSERTING ACTION since it seems to depend on the PERSISTING IDENTITY OF THE MALE ASSERTING AGENT and the PERSISTING IDENTITY OF THE FIELD OF OPERATIONS the MALE ASSERTING AGENT IS ENGAGING WITH, raising questions of the type “One can’t step into the same river twice because it is not the same river and not the same person stepping into it.  The short summary is; we are inclusions in transformation.

That is, here we come up against the question; WHEN is it appropriate to speak of our actions as MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS as if our actions are transpiring within an absolute empty space so that we can claim total ownership of ‘our own’ actions?

ANSWER:  NEVER!.   There is no such thing as INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE (i.e; that is BINARY LOGIC based ABSTRACTION) and our sense-experience affirms our quantum logic inclusion as CONDENSATIONS in the WAVE-FIELD aka the transforming relational continuum.
