PREFACE:  INTEGRATION and DIFFERENTIATION are not a reversible duo.  Western Culture LANGUAGE, by leading off with Differentiation, DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE of WAVE-FIELD REALITY and proceeds with one-sided MALE ASSERTING ONLY REPRESENTATIONS of a SIMPLIFIED SUBSTITUTE REALITY where the HOLE left by the DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE is INFILLED with ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  The DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE opens the way for SIMPLIFIED BINARY LOGIC based REPRESENTATION based on the duo of NAMING-based ABSOLUTE MATERIAL BEINGS with GRAMMAR-given POWERS of LOCAL AUTHORING and DEVELOPMENT.  The DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING ‘CONTAINER’ leads to WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based REPRESENTATIONS of a SUBSTITUTE REALITY featuring MALE ASSERTING FRAGMENTS.

LANGUAGE is a CULTURE-SHAPING TECHNOLOGY.

There is a distinct difference in CULTURE-SHAPING INFLUENCE where INTEGRATION is given PRECEDENCE over DIFFERENTIATION, as contrasted with the CULTURE-SHAPING INFLUENCE where DIFFERENTIATION is given PRECEDENCE over INTEGRATION.

As in Indigenous aboriginal lesson-giving stories such as “My Father and the Lima Beans”, a PERSON can be understood in LOCAL and EXPLICIT DIFFERENTIATING terms as a ‘thing-in-herself’… as in ‘Five-foot-Two, eyes are blue’ etc.  ALTERNATIVELY, a PERSON can be understood in NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT INTEGRATIVE terms as a contributor to the QUALITY of the RELATIONAL MATRIX she is included in.  The ‘Lima Beans’ story brings out how a person, even though harshly judged in a DIFFERENTIATING ASSESSMENT where we analyze her LOCAL, EXPLICIT physical attributes, may ‘show up’ as having qualities that make a valuable contribution to the ‘relational matrix’ (community dynamic etc.) she is included in.  An example, as in the ‘Lima Beans’ allegory would be the woman who is lazy and unhelpful in physical interactions but whose beautiful singing lifts the spirts of those around her.

DIFFERENTIATION is based on an inventory of LOCAL, EXPLICIT, PHYSICAL CONTRIBUTIONS that are in terms of WHAT SHE DOES, … FAIL to capture an inventory of NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT, INSPIRATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS wherein she transforming the QUALITY of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT AMBIANCE, as in the example of her exercising of her beautiful vocal gifts which is an INFLUENCE that is MEASURABLE by INTEGRATING her influence on her surroundings as in ‘raising the spirits of the social collectives in which she finds herself included.  “DIFFERENTIATION” is a scheme akin to understanding an insect by taking it apart, pulling off while counting and describing its legs and wings and other body parts.  Similarly, we can get to know a TOWN by its streets and avenues and buildings and the products and services offered by these components.

INTEGRATION is based on the SUM of the NONLOGIC, IMPLICIT and SPIRIT-IMPACTING influences on is immersed in, which includes the more intangible influences such as the warmth of the sun, the freshness of a cool breeze, the melodic waves of the singer or musician, all of which ADD UP in their CONTRIBUTION to the quality of PLACE and the quality of PLACE is impacted by musicians and artists who share inclusion in a common place so that one could assess any individual on the SUM of these TWO VERY DIFFERENT ASSESSMENT APPROACHES of INTEGRATION where we assess INFLUENCES that are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) and DIFFERENTIATION where we assess PROPERTIES that are LOCAL and EXPLICIT.
