Martine’s Integral Adventure
Preface: This essay highlights important but popularly-overlooked findings in regard to how different LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURES can help to either CONVEY or CONCEAL relational understandings of a ‘systems science’ and Modern physics nature, with an upfront acknowledgement of the contribution of Martine Dodds-Taljaard. These understandings elucidate on the troubling dysfunctions of modern era social dynamics which arise from LINGUISTIC DIFFERENTIATION and INTEGRATION, that impact psychological and physical ‘balance and well-being’ in a CULTURE-specific manner.

Introduction:
Martine Dodds-Taljaard (“June 20, 1947- 2001) is an exceptionally clear-thinking ‘systems thinker’ who was never confused by the WESTERN CULTURE penchant for that popular deviousness of ‘analytical thinking‘ that FRAGMENTS complexity born of global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence (characteristic of Wave-Field reality), as if ‘analysis’ were a pathway to understanding such complexity. But by chopping out a mechanistic skeleton of reality with the reductionist tool of pre-modern physics ‘analytical science’, we DISCARD, in the DIFFERENTIATING process, ‘the INTEGRATING baby as if it were the dirty bath water’, or in other words, we toss out the relational WAVE-FIELD magic of NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT “INTEGRATION” as if it were secondary to linguistically-imposed LOCAL AND EXPLICIT ‘DIFFERENTIATION; … as if the TOWNING in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT transforming landscape could be ANALYTICALLY extracted and reconceived of in terms of a LOCAL and EXPLICIT “BEING” based development.’ RE-INSTATING the INTEGRAL to its natural PRIMACY over the DIFFERENTIATED is an upstream battle in our WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC CRIPPLED mindsets.
“I am not surreptitious or devious – I am very straightforward, which is probably why I am often blackballed.” –Martine
However, being straightforward with those who are promoting a worldview in the abstract terms of DECLARATIONS of INDEPENDENCE and other intellectual abstraction based forms of FRAGMENTATION, ‘will not fly’ in the systems sciences mode of comprehension, an INTEGRATIVE mode of comprehension that is often reviled in our WESTERN CULTURE social collectives where the trend is to progressive fragmentation (eg. LGBTQ) sold on the basis of ‘suboptimization’, a modern-day WESTERN CULTURE ‘psychologically confused pursuit’ that Martine critiques citing systems science pioneer Kenneth Boulding, ‘the Name of the Devil if Suboptimization’.
The ERROR of A NAMING-based Declaration of Independence, backed up by a SECOND ERROR of GRAMMAR constitutes a DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based IMPRESSION of LOCAL AUTHORING, critiqued by Nietzsche (Martine’s philosopher of choice) as the synthetic source of THE ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION OF LOCAL AUTHORING.
Declarations of Independence may achieve the desired popular intellectual conceptualizing without any support whatsoever from physical sense-experiencing, yet once the abstract notion of LOCAL BEING is established in the INTELLECT as a launching pad for GRAMMAR GIVING LOCAL AUTHORING, we have the building materials for constructing SUBSTITUTE REALITIES that let us choose an arbitrary starting location, thus FRAGMENTING the WAVE-FIELD CONTINUUM of our sense-experience.
While our sense-experience affirms our inclusion “in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence”, or in other words an INTEGRAL world, our language-stimulated intellect opens the door to BINARY LOGIC based DIFFERENTIATION or in other words ‘FRAGMENTATION’, by way of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR wherein, for example, the LOCAL TOWN EITHER EXISTS OR DOES NOT EXIST.
Once we choose the simple “DOES EXIST” option, this satisfies our BINARY LOGIC based linguistic reality constructing scheme, thus SHUTTING OUT and OBSCURING the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC understanding option wherein THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.
THIS SHUTTING OUT of the QUANTUM LOGIC option amounts to OBSCURANTISM, where we GO FORWARD with our language construction based on the over-simplistic (and fragmentary) BINARY LOGIC based impression of the LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEING of ‘the TOWN’. The point is that once BINARY LOGIC based language gets first dibs on REPRESENTATION, the BEING-based status of ‘the TOWN’ is CONCRETIZED, SHUTTING OUT the very possibility of the QUANTUM LOGIC understanding option that is in terms of TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which acknowledges our living “in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence”.
The BEING-based status of ‘the TOWN’, on the other hand, sets up the FRAGMENTATION-SUPPORTING linguistic abstraction of LOCAL BEING-based AUTHORING as in; ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING, and PRODUCING goods. This linguistic DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR construction supports a PSYCHOLOGICALLY MISTAKEN IMPRESSION of the possibility of LOCAL-BEING based SUB-OPTIMIZATION’.
“The above aphorism (The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’), attributed to Kenneth Boulding, points to the inherent weakness characterizing the mindset and socio‐economic, political, educational and managerial practices of Western Industrial society as it developed over the past 300 years. It has its basis in the analytic‐reductionist scientific paradigm, which, despite the remarkable technological applications it spawned, is inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence …” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard (International Society of Systems Sciences)
The following essay is congruent with the work of my friend, Martine, whose pioneering systems sciences work, although it currently remains an ‘outlier’ in a world obsessed with language-based fragmentation, is sorely needed to resolve the problematic persistence of intellectual-abstraction based fragmentation in WESTERN CULTURE thinking and social relating.

My continuing philosophical investigations into how WESTERN CULTURE is becoming MORE AND MORE FRAGMENTED, points to FAULTS IN OUR LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE which I shall now describe
In order to explain what is going on, the first thing to recognize is the huge gap between the complexity of our sense-experience and the intellectually articulated impressions of our sense-experience that we construct using language.
There is not only a huge gap here, as might be expected, but there are TWO basic and fundamentally differing LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURES available to us which bring with them DIFFERENT sorts of shortfalls.
First, I will describe the TWO basic LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURES for reference purposes and then I will discuss the corresponding USER GROUPS and the nature of their DIFFERING LANGUAGE BASED UNDERSTANDINGS OF REALITY.
For starters, the TWO basic LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURES are “DIFFERENTIATION” based and “INTEGRATION BASED”. Since ENGLISH and the “Common Average European” group of languages (Benjamin Whorf’s classification) are the popular choice of anyone who might be reading this, my explanatory strategy has been to take into account the finding that languages such as ENGLISH are the languages most INFECTED with the problem of invoking physical and intellectual FRAGMENTATION in association with DIFFERENTIATION (see footnote [1])
The problem with languages such as Modern English can be stated fairly SIMPLY but THE WAY WE COMMONLY USE English IS THE TRICKIER PROBLEM. In a NUTSHELL, the way we use ENGLISH “FRAGMENTS REALITY” and by this I mean that we use English to construct SUBSTITUTE REALITIES which are FRAGMENTED REPRESENTATIONS of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY. As Wittgenstein suggested, there is nothing wrong with our sensory based understanding and the problems with our distorted SUBSTITUTE REALITY stem from our language-based representation scheme. [2]
We know that Modern physics has determined that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using a problematic LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE that FRAGMENTS our sense-experience reality, and this was Bohm’s reason for working on a new language architecture which he called Rheomode (i.e. a flow-based language), capable of capturing our inclusion in a transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD, and he discovered only months before his death that the indigenous aboriginal languages were ALREADY EMPLOYING a flow-based architecture such as he had been working on.
But, meanwhile, we continue to use our WESTERN CULTURE traditional language architecture which is FRAGMENTATIVE as Nietzsche has also pointed out, because of its DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR construction that has us use the ABSTRACTION of LOCAL AUTHORING and jumpstart our representation of reality from wherever we want, and this is the source of FRAGMENTATION as where we say things like ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ and ‘the CHILD is GROWING’ and ‘the BUSINESS is GROWING’. Notice that all of these are DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based examples of LOCAL AUTHORING.
Meanwhile, we live in a WAVE-FIELD and WAVE-FIELDS are ANDROGYNOUS and manifest in both a MALE-ASSERTING and FEMALE ACCOMMODATING manner; e.g. The punch that connects with the recipient’s jaw is a MALE ASSERTING ACTION, while the EGG-SHELL jaw has a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING ACTION, these CONJUGATES co-contribute to TRANSFORMATION which is neither the TRANSMISSIVE AGENT or a RECEPTIVE AGENT, … since these are BINARY LOGIC CONCEPTS and what we have in our sense-experience reality is the ANDROGYNOUS phenomenon aka the WAVE-FIELD phenomenon which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT such that the reflex we demonstrate in seeking to use LOCAL AUTHORING to explain phenomena is a BIAS we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have acquired from the BINARY LOGIC based STRUCTURE of our LANGUAGE.
Our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE “DROPS OUT” the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING conjugate and goes with the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING ONLY CONJUGATE as in the words ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’, thus DROPPING OUT AND FAILING TO MENTION the CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS, these TWO MALE AND FEMALE CONJUGATES OPERATING TOGETHER within a SPHERICAL SPACE are a less-unreal representation of sense-experience dynamics within a WAVE-FIELD.
We reality is that CONSTRAINING OUR LANGUAGE BASED REPRESENTATIONS TO ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATE as in ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, without mentioning the CONJUGATE SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS (or the NOT-TOWN area), is OBSCURANTISM on our part, yet WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS NEVERTHELESS “TRUE”, because as Goedel’s Theorem points out, ALL LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS ARE INCOMPLETE so that that while it is TRUE to say that ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, it is at the same time INCOMPLETE because we are not mentioning that IF THE TOWN IS GROWING, there must also be a CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS, since what is REALLY GOING on in the spherical space we live in is TRANSFORMATION.
We could ‘look at this another way’ and say that by using language that keeps dropping out the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE wherein the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING, we are using language that gives the impression of being in a FLAT SPACE rather than in a SPHERICAL SPACE because in a FLAT SPACE it “IS” possible for there to be GROWTH of the TOWN without conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS since in a FLAT SPACE the NON-TOWN area extends out to INFINITY as is the abstract nature of a FLAT SPACE.
Because there is no such thing as FLAT SPACE, when we are hearing and ‘making sense’ of statements such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, “TOTO, I’m afraid we are no longer in Kansas”. In other words, when we say ‘the TOWN is GROWING, we are no longer is the reality of our sense-experience of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the Tao. We are INSTEAD in an ABSTRACT FLAT SPACE SUBSTITUTE-REALITY where ‘TOWNS GROW’ notionally “WITHOUT” ‘CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS’. And this DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based LOCAL AUTHORING IMPRESSION therein ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ gives the sense that this is a one-sided MALE ASSERTING ACTION and DEVELOPMENT which, while it is ABSTRACTION, is an ABSTRACTION that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS employ as our OPERATIVE REALITY.
In this SUBSTITUTE REALITY, the LAND DEVELOPER will continue to GROW his LAND DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS … WITHOUT LINGUISTICALLY CAPTURING the CONJUGATE SHRINKING of WILDERNESS, partly because he is commonly working on a small scale compared to the surface area of the earth, so the CONJUGATE SHRINKING of WILDERNESS is no more than a shadowy thought in the back of his mind.
But if there was ONE PERSON in charge of DEVELOPMENTAL GROWTH on the globe, he would be conscious of the CONJUGATE SHRINKAGE of WILDERNESS, but as it is, there are 195 so-called “INDEPENDENT” NATIONS, all ‘doing their own thing’ and even COMPETING in the pace and extent of their LAND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS,
Here, we have to pause and contemplate the two different MINDSETS of two different CULTURES, the WESTERN CULTURE that BELIEVES IN THE REALITY OF FRAGMENTING THE LAND by way of DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE, and the Indigenous aboriginal culture whose adherents do not believe in the REALITY of the imaginary line based FRAGMENTATION.
The indigenous aboriginal people are NATURALLY ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE since the notion of SUBOPTIMIZING an imaginary line bounded ‘INDEPENDENT NATION’ makes no sense at all to them, as they continue to keep their sense-experience in a natural primacy over their abstract intellectual constructions.
THE MAIN POINT I WANT TO BRING TO MIND HERE IS THAT OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGES “DROP OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC” which is where the SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS is EXPRESSED, so that by NOT INCLUDING THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE in our LANGUAGE BASED REPRESENTATIONS OF WHAT IS GOING ON, we are infusing our language based representations with a kind of FLAT-EARTH OBSCURANTISM.
OBSCURANTISM is a WESTERN CULTURE COMMON MISTAKE and it shows up all over the place but is mostly IGNORED because our rules of GRAMMAR have us using linguistic constructions based SOLELY on the MALE ASSERTING ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT DYNAMIC without mentioning or taking into account, the ever-present FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE, making it seem as if we are living in a FLAT SPACE rather than THE SPHERICAL SPACE OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE
The full scope of the LANGUAGE based DROP-OUT can be seen in the following comparison between the use of DIFFERENTIATION in language and the use of INTEGRATION in language, which gives us a means of inquiring into the effects of what we are doing by architecting our language based on one or other of these options.
DIFFERENTIATION produces FRAGMENTATION where we speak in ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING ACTION TERMS about things that are GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products, WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE.
INTEGRATION accommodates relational connecting where we speak in ANDROGYNOUS terms of FLUID DYNAMICS which are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as in TRANSFORMATION as where the mountains that are subsiding and the valleys hat are filling in are a continually ongoing ANDROGYNOUS dynamic that our visual snapshotting language SPLITS into MALE and FEMALE by orienting our language capture to the “VISIBLE ASPECT” of the WAVE-FIELD CONDENSATIONS which are LOCAL AND EXPLICIT rather than to the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC which manifests in TRANSFORMATION.
NOTE THAT INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES ARE “INTEGRATION” BASED as is MODERN PHYSICS ORIENTED LANGUAGE while WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGES are predominantly “DIFFERENTIATION” BASED.
NOTE ALSO THAT understanding the difference between QUANTUM LOGIC and BINARY LOGIC is needed to follow the overall explanation of what is going on in our social dynamic. QUANTUM LOGIC is the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDING medium which is, for example, where we understand ‘SPACE’ to be the all-including ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE-FIELD (“WAVE-FIELD” for short) within which MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS such that the FIGURE (the material form) and the GROUND (the WAVE-FIELD) “ARE ONLY ONE” and behave as one “androgynous” system and NOT two separate conjugate agents.
We must BE CAREFUL WITH THIS UNDERSTANDING because this is where people get mixed up by failing to see that this QUANTUM LOGIC interpretation doesn’t simply tell us that MATTER is a CONDENSATION of the WAVE-FIELD, it says that MATTER IS NOT REAL but simply APPEARANCE or SCHAUMKOMMEN (Schroedinger). MATERIAL FORMS such as HUMANINGS in the WAVE-FIELD are thus comparable to something like HOLOGRAMS which are RESONANCE FEATURES or ENERGY GATHERING-SCATTERING features. There is no such thing as a “HUMAN BEING” in this understanding because there is no such thing as a “BEING”, but there are MATERIAL FORMS aka gathering-scattering WAVE-FIELD RESONANCE FEATURES.
WATCH OUT FOR THIS EASY-TO MAKE MISTAKE WHICH WILL SCREW UP THE UNDERSTANDING! One must LET GO of understanding MATERIAL FORMS as the AUTHORS of ‘anything’. MATERIAL FORMS ARE NO LONGER THE AUTHORS OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS. MATERIAL FORMS are APPEARANCES in the same sense as HURRICANES. Supposing we built a HUGE CONTAINER and TRAPPED a HURRICANE in it and hauled it off to the laboratory for further investigation. When we open the container, the hurricane is NOT going to come ROARING OUT because the HURRICANE is inherently NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) and its “APPARENT” LOCAL AND EXPLICIT NATURE comes only from our “ LINGUISTIC DRESSING IT UP WITH THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR”; e.g. ‘the HURRICANE is growing larger and stronger and is ravaging New Orleans’. In Modern physics RHEOMODE language as also in Algonquin, the observation would instead be the equivalent (in those languages) of; ‘THERE IS HURRICANING IN THE TRANSFORMING ATMOSPHERE’ without any IMPUTING OF “BEING” . There is no such thing as BEING in the relational forms of the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD.
HERE BELOW is a description of DIFFERENTIATION which is what we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE CONTINUING TO USE AS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR LANGUAGE BASED REALITY CONSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE FRAGMENTING OUR PSYCHES AS WELL AS OUR WORLD VIEWS, as Bohm points out.
DIFFERENTIATION: (this is BINARY LOGIC based) — So language can use DIFFERENTIATION supported by NAMING and GRAMMAR to abstractly FRAGMENT the language-based representation of our sense-experience reality, (notionally) LIBERATING SELECTED BINARY LOGIC based “FRAGMENTS of reality” and setting them up with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as LOCAL, EXPLICIT INDEPENDENT MATERIAL BEINGS notionally with THEIR OWN GRAMMAR-GIVEN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT. For example, “the CLUSTER (of ants) is GROWING LARGER”. This uses LOCAL SELF-REFERENCING to fashion imagery which DIFFERENTIATES a feature within the transforming relational continuum, setting it up as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT INDEPENDENT THING-IN-ITSELF with GRAMMAR-given powers of AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS.. —Example of DIFFERENTIATION:… “the TOWN is GROWING” (implies a separate “FRAGMENT” in an absolute empty and infinite space).
HERE BELOW is a description of INTEGRATION which is what INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents use as the FOUNDATION of their language based REALITY CONSTRUCTIONS.
INTEGRATION: (this is QUANTUM LOGIC based) — Alternatively, language can use INTEGRATION and DISPERSION as in GATHERING and SCATTERING as in a RESONANCE-based OSCILLATION where one does NOT use DIFFERENTIATION to TURN THINGS INSIDE-OUT, casting a RESONANCE FEATURE as a LOCAL BEING with its own POWERS OF GROWING and SHRINKING. That is, GATHERING and SCATTERING is a QUANTUM LOGIC WAVE-DYNAMIC belonging to the transforming relational continuum which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) and there is NO “LOCAL MALE-ASSERTING BEING” involved in this reality. JUST as with the near-perfect HEXAGONAL CELLS in a bee-hive, such organization is not primarily LOCAL and EXPLICIT but is primarily NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as associates with WAVE-FIELD (RESONANCE) DYNAMIC. —Example of INTEGRATION… “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”. (implies a QUANTUM LOGIC integrated development within the all-including energy-charged PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD)

OK, the reader can go directly to her own “Examples of DIFFERENTIATION” and “Examples of INTEGRATION” to ‘get the point’ and the point is NOT ‘hard to get’ and can be useful to have in mind as one reads more of Bohm’s or Schroedinger’s etc. writings. Again, an example of DIFFERENTIATION is the BINARY LOGIC based SPLITTING OUT of the TOWN from the ‘SURROUNDING’ LANDSCAPE, while INTEGRATION as in QUANTUM LOGIC is understood as TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX as in the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD.
HIGH TIME FOR US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS TO ASK OURSELVES; “WHY ARE WE NOT CHANGING OVER TO THE MODERN PHYSICS UNDERSTANDINGS WHICH ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL UNDERSTANDINGS OF REALITY?”
I would say that WE ARE NOT MAKING THE CHANGE-OVER TO MODERN PHYSICS UNDERSTANDING because we are LOCKED IN BY HIGH SWITCHINGI COSTS.
Briefly, the current belief in the DIFFERENTIATION based SUBSTITUTE REALITY includes the belief in LOCAL AUTHORING which is entrenched in our language by way of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR. There is a lot of EGO tied up in the support of LOCAL AUTHORING and also our WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based systems of REWARDS and PUNISHMENTS (Indigenous aboriginal justice, which accords with Modern physics understanding, conceives of individual humans NOT AS LOCAL AUTHORS but as CONDUITS within the QUANTUM LOGIC based social-relational matrix ). In this case, STRIFE is seen as arising from relational TENSIONS within the social relational matrix and the REMEDY is a HEALING CIRCLE’ designed to peacefully resolve the tensions in the social relational matrix.
So, instead of thinking in terms of STRIFE arising from a LOCAL AUTHOR of actions and events as in BINARY LOGIC, QUANTUM LOGIC opens the way to understanding of dynamics in NONLOCAL and EMPLICIT (WAVE-FIELD) terms which is WITHOUT A LOCAL SOURCE, but where there may be a LIGHTNING ROD or CONDUIT through whom the tensions in the relational matrix find expression, this CONDUIT rather than AUTHOR is sometimes acknowledged in WESTERN CULTURE psychiatric affairs as the ‘identified patient’.
The ‘identified patient’ is a QUANTUM LOGIC based exception to the usual WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based assumption of the LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments reminiscent of many such findings in WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHIATRY; e.g;
Jill Astbury raises questions in regard to the LOCAL AUTHORING assumption in ‘Crazy for You: The Making of Women’s Madness’ in her inquiry into the World Health Organization study showing that women have twice the incidence of ‘affective disorders’ (depression, bipolar disorder etc.) as men.
Astbury makes the point that psychological stress can manifest in an individual experiencing the stress of being in a group of differing others whose sensitivities may be lower and where the group may be cultivating an environment which is highly stressful so that a sensitive minority may manifest problems which are then assumed to be coming from defectiveness rather than sensitivity of a subset of the group. Research into ‘psychological illness’ will pull the patient out and study the patient and not the group, which thus may be ‘missing the point’ since the stress may be a ‘group based’ phenomenon;
“The research stemming from this viewpoint had a systemic blindness. It could literally not see what it was doing, as the normative quality of its own presuppositions had made them invisible.” – Jill Astbury
Similar observations have been made in mixed groups of ‘locals’ and ‘immigrants’ in the UK where research by Cochrane and Sashidharan shows that the incidence of schizophrenia in non-native born blacks in the U.K. is 3-5 times higher than native born blacks.
From the outset it will be clear that most of the research in this field has followed the conventional epidemiological or medical paradigm by focusing on mental ill health as the dependent variable. It is, therefore, not surprising that there is a lack of empirically grounded research on mental well-being or the psychological resilience and survival of minority groups in this country” — R. Cochrane (University of Birmingham) and S. P. Sashidharan (North Birmingham Mental Health Trust) in ‘Mental Health and Ethnic Minorities’
The simple BINARY LOGIC conclusion that the canary is sick, ‘holds’ whether the (miner’s) canary is above ground or down in the mine shaft, but the QUANTUM LOGIC conclusion is LESS SIMPLE in the sense of the BOTH/AND Logic of the INCLUDING MEDIUM. We have the vitality of the CANARY which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT which is also influenced by the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ambiance, so a measurement of the vitality of the CANARY that is manifesting LOCALLY and EXPLICITLY may be informing us on the changing condition of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, as is the point being made by Jill Astbury and Cochrane and Sashidharan.
Here we are dealing with the combination of QUANTUM LOGIC which is LESS SIMPLE and BINARY LOGIC which is SIMPLE. There is leveraged understanding in the combined information because QUANTUM LOGIC which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT INCLUDES BINARY LOGIC which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT. That is, the CANARY’s LOCAL, EXPLICIT systems may be HEALTHY or ILL and if the CANARY is HEALTHY, BOTH THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT influences and the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT influences must be HEALTH-GIVING, but if the CANARY is ILL, EITHER or BOTH of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT influences and the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT influences may be ILLNESS-GIVING.
WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC BASED LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE HAS A SHORTFALL HERE, and that problem is OBSCURANTISM which is an exposure that INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LANGUAGE DOES NOT HAVE.
It is the SAME SHORTFALL that shows up in the ‘THIN SKULL RULE’ of WESTERN JUSTICE where the WESTERN CULTURE makes judgements based ONE-SIDEDLY on MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS as if transpiring in EMPTY SPACE (this removes the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE influence inherent in the WAVE-FIELD dynamic. That is, the CONDITION of the CANARY is coming from BOTH the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and the LOCAL and EXPLICIT; i.e. from the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING (the ambient accommodating influence) and from the MALE ASSERTING (the internal asserting influence).
The flow-based language of Modern physics and also the languages of INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta incorporate BOTH FEMALE ACCOMMODATING and MALE ASSERTING as is necessary to comprehend the QUANTUM LOGIC WAVE-FIELD nature of reality without having to DUMB DOWN to a BINARY LOGIC based MATTER and SPACE SUBSTITUTE REALITY because of language architecture limitations as pervade the Common Average European language architectures, and limit them to BINARY LOGIC based constructions.
THE CONSTRAINING ROLE OF ‘BEING’ IN COMMON AVERAGE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE
‘BEING’ is abstraction that brings with it a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE for BINARY LOGIC in language. With the abstraction of the LOCAL INDEPENDENT BEING comes the abstract notion of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development
WESTERN CULTURE, by opting to give a foundational role in language architecture to BEING and BEING-based LOCAL AUTHORING, leads, in combination with BINARY LOGIC to the LOCAL AUTHORING of EITHER GOOD or BAD and from this comes the development of the foundation of WESTERN BINARY LOGIC based CRIMINAL JUSTICE and WESTERN BINARY LOGIC ANTI-PATHOGEN MEDICINE which is INCOMPATIBLE with QUANTUM LOGIC linguistic reality constructions.
Modern physics as also Indigenous aboriginal cultures have a QUANTUM LOGIC rather than BINARY LOGIC based structure wherein HEALTH is RELATIONAL RESONANCE and ILLNESS is RELATIONAL DISSONANCE so that REMEDIATION is the RESTORING of RESONANCE rather than the WESTERN CULTURE ‘ELIMINATING OF PATHOGENS’. Meanwhile, the BEING based strategy of the ELIMINATION OF (perceived) PATHOGENS (EVIL BEINGS), in WESTERN JUSTICE as well as in WESTERN MEDICINE may APPEAR TO WORK, just as the elimination of ‘thieves’ in an environment where there is a large RICH and POOR TENSION may give momentary respite. HOWEVER, without addressing the QUANTUM LOGIC ‘IMBALANCE’ which is the inductive source of the proliferation of REBALANCING AGENTS, a focus on eliminating the REBALANCING AGENTS (the QUANTUM LOGIC designation), inappropriately labelled with the SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC ‘PATHOGEN’ (THIEF) LABEL, the IMBALANCE will recur and since it is the source of the proliferation of QUANTUM LOGIC REBALANCING AGENTS, mislabeled with the BINARY LOGIC ‘THIEF’ label, new VARIANT strains of rebalancing agents can be expected.
SO, the basic ISSUE in ‘PATHOLOGY’ is ALWAYS relational IMBALANCE (the former is BINARY LOGIC conceptualization and the latter is QUANTUM LOGIC conceptualization) in which case, continual use of the PATHOGEN ELIMINATION technique, which brings ONLY TEMPORARY RELIEF because the eliminating of REBALANCING AGENTS mislabeled PATHOGENS serves to perpetuate or even aggravate the IMBALANCE leading to a succession of new VARIANT strains of REBLANCERS mistaken for ‘PATHOGENS’. Ultimately, as occurred in France in the case of civil unrest from RICH and POOR IMBALANCE, the rebalancing waves may become so severe, in response to continuing investment in ANTI-PATHOGEN TECHNLOGIES (police, CCTV monitoring) that the waves of REBALANCING AGENT ATTACKS may grow to the scale of bringing about REVOLUTION whereupon the formerly mislabeled as “PATHOGEN” ‘REBALANCERS’ will be ‘vindicated’ and their status flipped from VILLAINS to SAINTS.
This ambiguity between the BINARY LOGIC and the QUANTUM LOGIC is also occurring in medicine where remedies such as Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for C. DIFFICILE related colitis is showing that the problem is, in QUANTUM LOGIC based terms, ‘IMBALANCE’ in the microbial assemblage rather than the BINARY LOGIC based ATTACK OF THE C. DIFFICILE PATHOGEN. This same understanding has come about (but is being eclipsed by the disproportionate focus on anti-pathogen technology) in the case of COVID 19 where the Fecal Microbiota Transplantation has also been shown to work, illustrating that the COVID illness is an IMBALANCE that can be resolved by REBALANCING approaches and technologies.
However, the ANTI-PATHOGEN based VACCINE INDUSTRY has an established HAMMER (ANTI-PATHOGEN REMEDY) that sees everything as a NAIL (PATHOGEN) so that the understanding of ILLNESS as IMBALANCE and REMEDIATION as REBALANCING is barely on the WESTERN MEDICINE RADAR SCREEN. So, the MEDICAL ILLNESS REMEDIATING INDUSTRY is single-mindedly focused on ANTI-PATHOGEN remediation rather than rebalancing and thus designing ANTI-PATHOGEN VACCINES tailor made for particular microbes (those that show up as proliferating which is signaling that the microbial assemblage is out of balance) is a recipe for overall weakening of the natural system wherein ‘good health’ corresponds to resonance in the microbial assemblage.
CURRENTLY, it is very difficult within the WESTERN CULTURE social collective to build support for a microbial assemblage REBALANCING REMEDY in the face of the massively disproportionate support for ANTI-PATHOGEN remedies. At the level of human ecosystems, CSI and Agatha Christie are powerful psychologically influencing advertisements for the ANTI-PATHOGEN approach. The avid television watcher is likely to be mesmerized by the hi-tech tactics of modern technology equipped ANTI-PATHOGEN AGENTS that cleverly ‘seek out and eliminate’ criminal pathogens. This is GOOD NEWS in a BINARY LOGIC based interpretation where the problem is disproportionately based IN THE INDIVIDUAL, which is a mistaken approach (i.e. all BINARY LOGIC PURIFICATION, no QUANTUM LOGIC REBALANCING) that much of this essay has been discrediting by shifting the interpretation from BINARY LOGIC based GOOD and EVIL judgement to QUANTUM LOGIC BALANCE and IMBALANCE ASSESSMENT where the remedy for the relational issue of IMBALANCE is the relational response of REBALANCING
MESSAGE: WHAT IS NEEDED IS REBALANCING (QUANTUM LOGIC) and not PATHOGEN ELIMINATION (BINARY LOGIC)
Crime statistics consistently suggest that resolving social imbalance makes more sense than pathogen elimination.
Similar in proportion to previous years, there was a disproportionate number of admissions of Indigenous adults and youth to provincial, territorial and federal custody in 2020/2021. Indigenous adults accounted for about one-third of all adult admissions to provincial and territorial (31%) and federal (33%) custody, while representing approximately 5% of the Canadian adult population in 2020. Indigenous youth accounted for one-half (50%) of youth admissions to custody in 2020/2021, while representing about 8% of the youth population.
There was even greater overrepresentation of Indigenous women in custody admissions compared with Indigenous men. In 2020/2021, Indigenous men represented 30% of male admissions to provincial and territorial custody and 32% to federal custody. Indigenous women represented 42% of female custody admissions to provincial and territorial custody and 40% to federal custody in 2020/2021. Male Indigenous youth represented 48% of youth male admissions to custody, while female Indigenous youth represented 62% of youth female admissions to custody.

And while the REBALANCING approach is well-recognized in indigenous aboriginal cultures, it is a long way from being recognized in our WESTERN CULTURE social collectives which have been weaned on anti-pathogen thinking which is BINARY LOGIC ‘BEING’ based.
Modern physics does not support ANTI-PATHOGEN remedies since they are BINARY LOGIC based, but fully supports re-balancing remedies since they are QUANTUM LOGIC based and QUANTUM LOGIC is a legitimate logic for understanding natural dynamics while BINARY LOGIC applies to MECHANISTIC DYNAMICS, so if we want to treat ourselves like MACHINES, BINARY LOGIC based JUSTICE and MEDICINE SYSTEMS would be the way to go. If we want to treat of ourselves as relational forms in the transforming relational continuum, as is the way of MODERN PHYSICS, QUANTUM LOGIC is the way to go .
SUMMARY:
This essay has been an attempt to show that TWO language architectures are available to us, the one MORE SIMPLE LANGUAGE being BINARY LOGIC based language and the other LESS SIMPLE LANGUAGE being QUANTUM LOGIC based.
When I use the language ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products’ I am using BINARY LOGIC as in one-sided MALE-ASSERTING-ACTION statements with a BEING-based SUBJECT..
When I use the language ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ I am using QUANTUM LOGIC as in ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING-MALE-ASSERTING CONJUGATE relations.
There is a mathematical comparison to be made here. DIFFERENTIATION serves up the one-sided MALE-ASSERTING-ACTION statements while INTEGRATION serves up the ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING-MALE-ASSERTING CONJUGATE relation.
DIFFERENTIATION lifts out ‘the TOWN’ from its conjugate relation within the transforming landscape and presents it as if in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE REFERENCE FRAME; i.e. ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING etc.’ where FIGURE and GROUND are TWO. This is the BINARY LOGIC based language architecture employed by WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS
INTEGRATION captures the ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING — MALE ASSERTING conjugation where ‘There is TOWNING is in the transforming landscape’ and where FIGURE and GROUND are ONE. This is the QUANTUM LOGIC language architecture employed by Indigenous aboriginal adherents.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] Bohm’s comment on the invasiveness of linguistic fragmentation in;Ch. 1 of Wholeness and the Implicate Order.
1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS (from Wholeness and the Implicate Order by David Bohm)
The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.
Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc
[2] Wittgenstein’s propositions concerning the relational approach to understanding.
6.54 My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)
He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly.
7.0 Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. (“Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen”),
–Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
