INTRODUCTION:

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS need to get out of our BINARY LOGIC FIXATION and move into the QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY, but something is clearly HOLDING US BACK!  WHAT IS IT!

My sense is that WHAT IS HOLDING US BACK is “TRUTH”.

We have become DEPENDENT on our WESTERN CULTURE LOGICAL TRUTH which gives us a sense of SECURITY and SOLID FOUNDATION on the TRUTH that we can rely on.

UNFORTUNATELY, “LOGICAL TRUTH” is not the same thing as “REALITY”.  As Goedel’s Theorem proves, BINARY LOGIC TRUTH is INNATELY INCOMPLETE so that a SIMPLE LOGICAL TRUTH can be overtaken by a LESS SIMPLE LOGICAL TRUTH.

Modern physics has reaffirmed what the indigenous aboriginal peoples, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents have long held, that QUANTUM LOGIC gives us a LESS SIMPLE LOGICAL TRUTH than BINARY LOGIC which is based on BOTH/AND rather than EITHER/OR, so for example, the BOTH/AND QUANTUM LOGIC TRUTH of ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ is a “LESS SIMPLE TRUTH” than “The TOWN is GROWING”.  The LESS SIMPLE TRUTH does not “MAKE THE SIMPLE TRUTH WRONG”.  MEANWHILE, SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY is beyond the reach of LANGUAGE-based LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS THAT CAPTURE LOGICAL TRUTHS.  “The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao” –Lao Tzu.

Our WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT global social collective HAS A PROBLEM.  We are unable to, or are unwilling to UPDATE our old SIMPLE (BINARY LOGIC) TRUTHS with new LESS-SIMPLE (QUANTUM LOGIC) TRUTHS.  People resist even LISTENING to the arguments showing the superiority of the new LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC TRUTHS.  WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS commonly say; ‘READ MY LIPS!  I NEVER GOT WHERE I AM TODAY NOT KNOWING WHAT THE TRUTH IS”.

That’s the trouble with LOGICAL TRUTH, it can be TRUE but INCOMPLETE, so that where one man insists that ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ can prove this to be TRUE.  Likewise, the man who insists that ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, which is a LESS SIMPLE TRUTH, can likewise prove this to be TRUE.  As far as REALITY GOES, that is far beyond the reach of LOGICAL TRUTHS as Lao Tzu points out.  So we are STUCK WITH TRUTHS that may range from SIMPLE to LESS SIMPLE and we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are now living in an era where Modern physics has confirmed that the LESS SIMPLE LOGICAL TRUTHS captured in indigenous aboriginal LANGUAGES are more informative re our sense-experience reality than our WESTERN CULTURE COMMON AVERAGE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE captured LOGICAL TRUTHS.

The example given above is a case in point; i.e. the QUANTUM LOGIC “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is LESS SIMPLE than the BINARY LOGIC “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services”:

WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are digging in their heels and are resisting even listening to someone’s purported NEW TRUTH because it seems to infer that their TRUTHS, such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ are NO LONGER TRUE and they react against that think that such a claim is BULLSHIT because “they know for sure that THEIR TOWN IS GROWING”.  But that is NOT THE POINT.  The point is not that the established TRUTHS such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ are “WRONG”, the point is that TRUTHS can be SIMPLE and LESS SIMPLE and the BINARY LOGIC TRUTH ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’ is a SIMPLER TRUTH than the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC TRUTH ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.   

This essay reviews the common misunderstanding, in WESTERN CULTURE, of the INCOMPLETENESS of LOGICAL TRUTH.

This essay provides a SHORTLIST from the WESTERN CULTURE PATTERN of LANGUAGE-BASED LOGICAL SCREW-UPS I HAVE REVIEWED, which have been pointed out by various philosophical Investigators such as Nietzsche, Bohm, Schroedinger, Wittgenstein, Vygotsky and more.

This list of WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC LOGICAL SCREW-UPS POINTS TO ‘ONE PLACE’ that I will try to capture as succinctly and clearly as I can, as follows;

WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE that we are using to construct a SHAREABLE CONCEPTUALIZATION that passes for REALITY is BINARY LOGIC based, and thus falls prey to that general exposure of BINARY logic given by Goedel’s Theorem; i.e. “All FINITE BINARY LOGIC PROPOSITIONS ARE INCOMPLETE”.  This means that our BINARY LOGIC PROPOSITIONS can be TRUE but with weaker or stronger grounding in REALITY and therefore that there may be other SYSTEMS of LOGIC, such as QUANTUM LOGIC that are also TRUE but are LESS SIMPLE than BINARY LOGIC, and this is what I have been finding in my work and it is the source of the difference in LANGUAGE BASED CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of REALITY since WESTERN CULTURE REALITY is commonly based on BINARY LOGIC while INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL REALITY is commonly based on QUANTUM LOGIC.

A simple example comparing the two is as follows;

QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY:   “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.  This QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY has an ANDROGYNOUS (FEMALE ACCOMMODATING—MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATE STRUCTURE) as can be understood from the example sentence.  QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY is the WAVE-FIELD REALITY of INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, TAOISTS/BUDDHISTS, ADVAITA VEDANTA and MODERN PHYSICS.

BINARY LOGIC REALITY :  “The TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services”.  This BINARY LOGIC REALITY has a one sided MALE ASSERTING ONLY STRUCTURE which DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE (as can be seen from he example sentence). BINARY LOGIC REALITY is the MECHANISTIC REALITY of MATERIAL FORMS INTERACTING IN EMPTY SPACE OF WESTERN CULTURE

Since the term “GROWTH” depends on the abstract concept of a THING-IN-ITSELF capable of enlarging in its own right, as if isolatable in an absolute empty space, there is NO SUCH THING AS “GROWTH” in the real world of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE of inclusion in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD.  There is ONLY “TRANSFORMATION”..

* * * 

I would encourage anyone NOT FAMILIAR with the MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION of WAVES to review the very basics, and would argue that THIS MAKES SENSE BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A WAVE-FIELD WORLD.  That is the finding of Modern physics and it agrees with the understanding of the structure of reality as understood by INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents.

I tell you why I am saying this because, if you are like myself and have been ‘born and raised’ speaking one of the Common Average European Languages such as ENGLISH, then you, like myself, have bee CONDITIONED to think in terms of REALITY A SIMPLIFIED PSEUDO REALITY which is BINARY LOGIC BASED, and I can describe this fairly easily but that doesn’t stop us from continuing to have a knee-jerk reflex of THINKING in terms of a BINARY LOGIC BASED SIMPLIFIED PSEUDO-REALITY.

In order to AVOID the use of a SIMPLIFYING BINARY LOGIC LANGUAGE based PSEUDO-REALITY CONCEPTUALIZTION, and be able to have LANGUAGE-based exchanges that are capable of QUANTUM LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, we have to change our language architecture and speak language that has the LESS SIMPLE capabilities of the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.

Our Common Average European LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE IS TOO SIMPLE to capture WAVE-FIELD CONCEPTUALIZATION because it “DROPS OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE”, reducing (simplifying) our WAVE-FIELD based SENSE-EXPERIENCE to one-sided MALE ASSERTING ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT (e.g. ‘The TOWN IS GROWING’) whereas the LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE we need for CONCEPTUALIZING the WAVE-FIELD REALITY we are included in must employ the conjugate WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE which is the ANDROGYNOUS  FEMALE ACCOMMODATING — MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATE RELATION; e.g. ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’

This is QUANTUM LOGIC structure, the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.   QUANTUM LOGIC captures the relationship that associates with our understanding of SPACE as an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (aka the WAVE-FIELD) within which ‘material forms’ are CONDENSATIONS.  That is QUANTUM LOGIC and in order to speak and write in a manner consistent with the actual physical structure of REALITY, we need to us QUANTUM LOGIC based LANGUAGE which I have highlighted with BOLD ITALIC AND YELLOW BACKGROUND like this; i.e. ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’

We can see that the relational structure here is one in which FIGURE and GROUND are ONE; i.e. the TOWNING is INCLUDED IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which is the QUANTUM LOGIC relation.

Relational Coherency Avoids “the Incompleteness of Finite Binary Logic Systems” (Goedel’s Theorem)

Relational Coherency can inform us in a more comprehensive (integration) way than Binary Logic Either/Or progressions culminating in explicit closure (differentiation).

Relational coherency is the method of the indigenous aboriginal Learning Circle where the ‘talking stick is passed’ and all participants have the opportunity to share their experience-based knowledge by ‘speaking from the heart’.  Participants may thus benefit from the understandings that emerge from the relational confluence of the rich mixture of personal experiences.  The LOGIC implied in this relational coherency approach is QUANTUM LOGIC, the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDING medium which DOES NOT APPLY BINARY LOGIC BASED DIFFERENTIATION TO REDUCE RELATIONAL FORMS IN THE FLOW to a notional INDEPENDENT ELEMENTS BASED DATA SET, setting the stage for discrimination between superior and inferior elements so as to isolate the SUPERIOR elements.  In QUANTUM LOGIC, the understanding of any included form is inextricably bound up in an understanding of the all-including PLENUM since the included forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD.

In the relational coherency approach to optimizing understanding (rather than the ‘refining’ or distilling out of that which is ‘most relevant’) offers us an INARTICULABLE UNDERSTANDING that is RELATIONAL COHERENCE based, which ‘takes form in the web-of-relations’ connecting the diversity of experiences being shared.

The relational coherency approach to understanding differs fundamentally from the BINARY LOGIC based ‘purification’ or ‘distillation’ approach where a multiplicity of (pre-processed) INTERPRETATIONS (thoughts from the interpreting intellect rather than raw feelings from the heart) are sifted through, two at a time, selecting in each binary comparison, the superior of the two, so that an overall ‘winning candidate for what is TRULY REALITY’ is ultimately selected.  This BINARY LOGIC based filtering of a multiplicity of intellectually pre-conditioned contenders for ‘REALITY’ is used to select the REALITY contender ‘that is MOST TRUE’.

But here we run into the limitation inherent in using BINARY LOGIC; a limitation that is given in Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS of all finite systems of Binary Logic.  For example, if we stablish as TRUE that ‘the TOWN is growing’, this says nothing about the REALITY that there is a CONJUGATE SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS.  Thus, ESTABLISHING THE TRUTH, as in confirming the BINARY LOGIC proposition ‘the TOWN is growing’ is limited by the Goedel’s Theorem ‘Incompleteness of all finite systems of binary logic’.  THE MESSAGE IS THAT ‘ESTABLISHING LOGICAL TRUTH’ has no traction on “ESTABLISHING THAT WHICH IS REAL” due to the INCOMPLETENESS of all finite binary logic-based systems of propositions.

Here we spot an intrinsic difference between ‘the relational coherency approach to REALITY’ and ‘the binary logic approach to TRUTH’, since as Goedel’s Theorem warns, all finite systems of binary logic are innately INCOMPLETE, setting up conflict between TRUTH and REALITY since statements regarding the GROWTH of the TOWN may be TRUE, like all BINARY LOGIC TRUTHS, they are INCOMPLETE and REALITY may be far LESS SIMPLE than the SIMPLE LOGIC TRUTH such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’; i.e. as Sherlock Holmes might have said to WATSON, … WATSON, you idiot, can you not see that the REALITY is that the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING and the LANDSCAPE IS TRANSFORMING and that LOGICAL TRUTH is always INCOMPLETE, but this WESTERN CULTURE habit where LOGICAL TRUTH is seized upon and used as the OPERATIVE REALITY, dysfunction arises that has become the downfall of WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE-GUIDED SOCIAL DYNAMICS.

QUANTUM LOGIC is LESS SIMPLE than BINARY LOGIC in an important way; i.e. QUANTUM LOGIC, the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the including medium, addresses the INTEGRAL NATURE of our sense-experience of inclusion in the all-including WAVE-FIELD aka the transforming relational continuum aka the Tao.

BINARY LOGIC is SIMPLER than QUANTUM LOGIC.  Whereas the material form is, in less simple QUANTUM LOGIC, an included feature in the all-including energy-charged PLENUM (e.g. We may think in terms of a WHORLING in the FLOWING where the WHORLING “IS” the “FLOWING”), BINARY LOGIC simplifies ‘this mental picture’ by capturing ‘the WHORL’ as a separate and independent ‘thing-in-itself’ notionally with ‘its own (grammar-given) POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.

WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are a confident lot, pushing forward in the manner of their predecessors like an enthusiastic swarm of LEMMINGS even while experiencing the rising FRAGMENTATION and dysfunction (mass shootings etc.) that are characterizing the ‘playing out’ of WESTERN CULTURE’s continuing development.

Studies of ‘WHY this is’ point to LANGUAGE and our reliance on LANGUAGE based CONSTRUCTIONS OF ‘REALITY’ which, thanks to electronic networking now DOMINATE over sense-experience in WESTERN CULTURE intellectually-calculated design of social actions and developments.

At the bottom of this continuing dysfunction is BINARY LOGIC which is a very NEAT TRAP that DIVIDES people into two opposing groups and keeps them SQUABBLING IN ETERNAL DISAGREMENT and thus prevents THEM (which is of course the collective ‘US’) from moving beyond the MESMERIZING OPINION that there is a CORRECT LANGUAGE-BASED CAPTURE OF REALITY rather than just PERSECTIVES.

Schroedinger and others have pointed out that as individuals, we have OUR OWN PERSPECTIVES because we are INCLUDED, in a unique situational way, in REALITY.  Meanwhile, we attempt to use LANGUAGE to CAPTURE a GENERALIZATION of REALITY by way of OUR OWN PERSPECTVE and NAIL IT DOWN EXPLICITLY with LANGUAGE.   This is the WESTERN CULTURE CONDITIONED INDIVIDUAL MINDSET, although, contrastingly, the Indigenous aboriginal approach to understanding reality is to assemble a LEARNING CIRCLE and to bring MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES INTO CONNECTIVE CONFLUENCE SO AS TO EXTRACT A “REALITY” BASED ON THE RELATIONAL COHERENCIES, which will in general be BEYOND CAPTURE IN LANGUAGE, but nevertheless cognitively capturable through LEARNING CIRCLES.

Nietzsche tried to promote this concept of harvesting the coherencies in the ‘connections’ of multiple perspectives within WESTERN CULTURE but we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are too heavily invested in a PURIFICATIONIST (filtering out only ‘the best’ content) APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING REALITY, which is really just a joke since it degenerates into what has been captured in WESTERN CULTURE by LaFontaine’s tongue-in-cheek aphorism; ‘La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleur’ (the reasoning of the strongest is always the best’.   And as Nietzsche pointes out;

There is only a perspectival seeing, only a perspectival ‘knowing’; the more affects we are able to put into words about a thing, the more eyes, various eyes we are able to use for the same thing, the more complete will be our ‘concept’ of the thing, our ‘objectivity’.– Nietzsche

Modern physics has affirmed what indigenous aboriginals have understood and tried to deal with by way of ‘Learning Circles’.  There is a major challenge in trying to architect LANGUAGE that can deal with OUR INCLUSION IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the Tao.
