The INVERTED LOGIC of WESTERN CULTURE
QUANTUM LOGIC (i.e. NON-BINARY LOGIC where FIGURE and GROUND are ONE as with CONDENSATION) … is in a NATURAL PRIMACY over BINARY LOGIC (where FIGURE and GROUND are TWO as with MATTER and EMPTY SPACE). We have a CHOICE of which to give the foundational role to, and the choice we make has a profound impact on the UNDERSTANDING of the world that we draw from our language-based CONCEPTUALIZING of our SENSE-EXPERIENCING of the world, a world-in-flux wherein the NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT is in a NATURAL PRECEDENCE over the LOCAL and EXPLICIT. This is the finding of MODERN PHYSICS wherein material forms (the local and explicit) are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD (the nonlocal and implicit).
BINARY LOGIC , where FIGURE and GROUND are TWO, … while simpler, is intellectual abstraction for which there is no equivalent in our natural SENSE-EXPERIENCE world wherein FIGURE and GROUND are only ONE.
That is, when we use the simplifying abstraction of BINARY LOGIC in our LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING, we are IMPOSING this SIMPLIFYING CONCEPTUALIZATION by using LANGUAGE to ‘CONSTRUCT’ impressions of a simplified BINARY LOGIC based PSEUDO-WORLD. These BINARY LOGIC based simplified CONCEPTUALIZATIONS …. ARE NOT “REPRESENTATIONS” of something that ‘exists out there’, but are instead INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTIONS ‘in here’ that construct a simplified SUBSTITUTE pseudo-world OUT THERE.
Indigenous aboriginal LANGUAGES employ this RELATION wherein the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is INCLUDED in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as in ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, implying a QUANTUM LOGIC relation; i.e. the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM as is the relation between the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD and the MATERIAL FORM that is the CONDENSATION of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD.
The CONDENSATION is at the same time “BOTH” the MATERIAL FORM “AND” the INCLUDING MEDIUM (the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD) so that UNLIKE THE BINARY LOGIC based CONCEPTUALIZATION where the MATERIAL FORM ‘moves through’ an EMPTY SPACE, … HERE WE HAVE THE QUANTUM LOGIC SITUATION where THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “THINGS THAT MOVE” as where MOVING FIGURE and STATIONARY GROUND are TWO SEPARATE THINGS, there is only TRANSFORMATION where THERE IS ONLY the “APPEARANCE” of a MOVING FIGURE that is associated with the OVERALL TRANSFORMATION which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.
Or in other words, “THE MOVING/CHANGING FIGURE, BE IT A TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING OR A HUMANING IN THE TRANSFORMING, IS ONLY ‘APPEARANCE’ whereas overall TRANSFORMATION is the REALITY.
TRANSFORMATION, as CONCEPTUALIZED using the BOTH/AND QUANTUM LOGIC LINGUISTIC conveying of SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY, IS LESS SIMPLE than than the “EITHER/OR BINARY LOGIC matter and space LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY”, in that the QUANTUM LOGIC LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is fully FLUID as in NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (ACTION-VERB-based) WITHOUT DEPENDENCY ON THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT (i.e. without NAMED-BEING-BASED DEPENDENCY). i
THERE IS A PROBLEM in WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING IN THAT PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT CONCEPTUALIZING which is BINARY LOGIC based and ONCE THE CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATION IS LAID DOWN WITH BINARY LOGIC which is SIMPLER than QUANTUM LOGIC, it is NOT POSSIBLE to incorporate, on that SIMPLE LOCAL and EXPLICIT base, the QUANTUM LOGIC CONSISTENT NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT CONCEPTUALIZATION.
In other words, after we have used language to impute LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS TO THINGS as if in an EMPTY SPACE (BINARY LOGIC) in our LOCAL AND EXPLICIT CONCEPTUALIZATION, we cannot mix and match language that imputes BOTH/AND STATUS to MATERIAL FORMS BECAUSE IN THIS CASE AUTHORING AGENCY IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (as in overall TRANSFORMATION).
BINARY LOGIC is like the Cuckoo, a simple bird that takes over the nest of less simple birds in that its eggs hatch first and the Cuckoo chicks push out the less simple birds eggs before they hatch, so that the simple supersedes the less simple.
In other words, once BINARY LOGIC is infused in the CONCEPTUALIZING STREAM, it TAKES OVER. If we start off saying ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, we have established the MORE SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC MODE OF CONCEPTUALIZING (which implies :LOCAL AUTHORING, implying an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE CONTAINER) and our continuing story is then in terms of THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT which BLOCKS THE ENTRANCE of the QUANTUM LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZING which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as in ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ , … where there is NO SENSE OF LOCAL AUTHORING as “the TOWNING is INCLUDED WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE in a BOTH/AND SENSE;” i.e. the TOWNING is to the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE as the WHORLING is to the FLOWING in a FLUID DYNAMIC (Figure and Ground are ONLY ONE).
As in the Cuckoo’s egg hatching metaphor, once the starting out of a linguistic exchange commences on the basis of BINARY LOGIC conceptualization, the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC conceptualization is shut out.
The use of simple BINARY LOGIC in LANGUAGE is OBSCURANTIST in that its LOCAL and EXPLICIT configuration BLOCKS THE EXPRESSION OF the less-simple NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (as where everything is in flux and THER IS NO LOCAL AUTHORING) which is PRIMARY in SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY. That is, if we use BINARY LOGIC and say “THE TOWN IS GROWING” we have assigned the AUTHORING POWER to the TOWN for its own GROWTH and this “LOCAL AUTHORING” is innately SIMPLER that if we had said ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ which gives the AUTHORING POWER to the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (i.e. to the WAVE-FIELD rather than than to the material CONDENSATION in the WAVE-FIELD).
This is the REDUCTION of QUANTUM LOGIC to BINARY LOGIC that changes LANGUAGE-BASED-UNDERSTANDING in a manner that is a CULTURE SHIFTER since it applies not only to ‘the TOWN’ but to ‘the HUMAN’ and while indigenous aboriginal culture LANGUAGE speaks in the QUANTUM LOGIC terms of HUMANING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, Common Average European LANGUAGE speaks in the BINARY LOGIC terms of HUMANS as LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEINGS with “THEIR OWN (grammar-given) POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT.
WESTERN CULTURE, because of the popular use of BINARY LOGIC based LANGUAGE, persists in the use of LANGUAGE that is OBSCURANTIST, reducing the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT CONCEPTUALIZING which in our SENSE-EXPERIENCE is in an INNATE PRIMACY over the LOCAL and EXPLICIT, to the LOCAL and EXPLICIT. The NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT CONCEPTUALIZING requires QUANTUM LOGIC as in the languages of Modern physics, Indigenous aboriginals, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE is putting SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC into an unnatural primacy over LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC with the result that LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, instead of being based in NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT TRANSFORMATION, is based in LOCAL and EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING sourced ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS. The result is that WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC REALITY CONCEPTUALIZING, by virtue of giving the foundational role in LANGUAGE to the SIMPLE LOCAL and EXPLICIT, is DROPPING OUT the LESS SIMPLE ALL-INCLUDING, ALL-CONNECTING, NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT “TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM”, the wave-field base, and because WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE engineers this DROP OUT in its language based conceptualizing, the conceptualizations, (REDUCED FROM QUANTUM LOGIC NON-LOCAL and IMPLICIT to TO BINARY LOGIC LOCAL AND EXPLICIT) are FRAGMENTING both WESTERN CULTURE INTELLECT and BEHAVIOUR.

POSTSCRIPT ADDRESSING OUR WESTERN CULTURE’S MOST BASIC AND COMMON SCREW-UP. THE ARCHITECTING OF LANGUAGE TO AVOID LESS-SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC TRANSFORMATION AND EXPLOIT SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC FRAGMENTATION
In this note, one can see a lot of familiar relationships, and in particular THESE TWO VERY DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOGIC WE USE; i.e. the simpler BINARY LOGIC and less simple QUANTUM LOGIC
These relate directly to the COMPLEX SIGNAL with its REAL (BINARY LOGIC based) and IMAGINARY (QUANTUM LOGIC based) architecture.
The REAL SIGNAL COMPONENT corresponds to MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT
The IMAGINARY SIGNAL COMPONENT corresponds to FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.
Together, in the sense of CONIUNCTIO OPPOSITORUM there is RESONANCE which is the basic stuff of WAVE-FIELDS.
Vygotsky is telling us that we are wrong if we consider the TWO CONJUGATES, whether we want to call them FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING and MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING or as Vygotsky calls them ‘the SPONTANEOUS and the SCIENTIFIC
“Though fundamentally different in nature, the development of scientific and spontaneous concepts represent two sides of the same concept formation:
Though scientific and spontaneous concepts develop in reverse directions, the two processes are closely connected. … In working its slow way upward, an everyday concept clears a path for the scientific concept and its downward development. It creates a series of structures necessary for the evolution of a concept’s more primitive, elementary aspects, which gives it body and vitality. Scientific concepts, in turn, supply structures for the upward development of … spontaneous concepts toward consciousness and deliberate use. Scientific concepts grow downwards through spontaneous concepts; spontaneous concepts grow upwards through scientific concepts. Vygotsky ‘Thought and Language’, p.194 “
While Vygotsky understands the spontaneous and scientific as conjugates, which agrees with the WAVE-FIELD structure of the world, Piaget does the usual WESTERN CULTURE PRACTICE of “DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE (the spontaneous) and employing only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE (the scientific), but as Vygotsky points out, Piaget makes a serious mistake and NOT ONLY DOES PIAGET NOT RECOGNIZE THE CONJUGATE WAVE-FIELD NATURE OF OUR CHILDREN’S EARLY, NATURALLY DEVELOPING LINGUISTIC CAPABILITY, HE ENCOURAGES US, THROUGH OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, TO ‘DUMB DOWN’ OUR CHILDREN’S “THOUGHT AND LANGUAGE” It title of Vygotsky’s major work) by TOSSING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and using only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE.
“Our disagreement with Piaget centers on one point only, but an important point. He assumes that development and instruction are entirely separate, incommensurate processes, that the function of instruction is merely to introduce adult ways of thinking, which conflict with the child’s own and eventually supplant them. Such a supposition stems from the old psychological tradition of separating the structural from the functional aspects of development.” –Vygotsky
* * * THIS IS A HUMONGOUS ERROR ON THE PART OF PIAGET, BUT PIAGET WAS FOLLOWING IN THE WESTERN CULTURE TRADITION ESTABLISHED BY PARMENIDES
“Heraclitus had declared ‘being’ a perpetual ‘becoming’ and had correlated the two concepts with his ‘hidden attunement.’ Now Parmenides declared the two to be mutually exclusive, and only ‘being’ to be real.” — ‘The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man’, — ‘Henri Frankfort, H. A. Frankfort, John A. Wilson, Thorkild Jacobsen, and William A. Irwin.
The point is that where everything is in flux is where we have TRANSFORMATION as also in indigenous aboriginal culture, and QUANTUM LOGIC.
“All things come into being through opposition and all are in flux like a river” —Heraclitus
Hodos ano kato (ὁδὸς ἄνω κάτω), “the upward-downward path.” are simultaneous opposites, the source of “hidden harmony”. There is a harmony in the bending back (παλίντροπος palintropos) as in the case of the bow and the lyre.
QUANTUM LOGIC as in Modern physics shows that Nature has the property wherein OPPOSITION finds RESOLUTION … NOT THROUGHT WIN-LOSE CONFLICT but as we know from personal experience, RISING TO A HIGHER LEVEL aka TRANSFORMATION. This is also the finding in Modern physics.
The point half-way between actualization and potentialization is a point of maximum antagonism or ‘contradiction’ from which, in the case of complex phenomena, a T-state (T for “tiers inclus”, included third term) emerges, which is capable of resolving the contradiction (or ‘counter-action‘), at another, higher level of reality. “ – Lupasco, Stéphane., Le principe d’antagonisme et la logique de l’énergie, 1951.
This is also an indigenous aboriginal understanding as told in Iroquois mythology;
In the Peacemaker myth of the Iroquois, the peacemaker, Dekanawideh, does not seek to overthrow or exterminate the evil Adodarho, but to meet and find reconciliation through mutually influencing relational transformation that subsumes polarizing tensions. Finding the hidden harmony in opposites is the mystery of the bow and the lyre in the teaching of Heraclitus, mentioned above;
Hodos ano kato (ὁδὸς ἄνω κάτω), “the upward-downward path.” are simultaneous opposites, the source of “hidden harmony”. There is a harmony in the bending back (παλίντροπος palintropos) as in the case of the bow and the lyre.

WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, as we know, are HUNG UP ON BINARY LOGIC EITHER RIGHT OR WRONG BASED CONFLICT, … e.g. RUSSIA-CHINA EASTERN BLOC and US-EUROPE WESTERN BLOC.
AFTER THESE COUNTRIES DECLARED THEMSELVES INDEPENDENT, these BINARY LOGIC based POLITICS have taken over and been enhanced through ECONOMIC COMPETITION based on the INSANE BELIEF in SUBOPTIMIZATION which borrows from DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE, and movement towards understanding that WE ARE ALL RELATED (mitakuye oyasin) has been back-burnered.
What is going on is NOT the dynamics of INDEPENDENT NATIONS with THEIR OWN POWERS of AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, that, as Nietzsche pointed out is a DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.
WE, the WESTERN CULTURE NATIONS are not softening our BINARY LOGIC based POSITIONS that WE ARE INDEPENDENT, that we in the process of SUBOPTIMIZING our “INDEPENDENT NATIONS’ and that THERE IS SUCH A THING AS THE BINARY OF EITHER RIGHT OR WRONG and WE ARE IN THE RIGHT and RUSSIA IS IN THE WRONG, and after listening to all this BULLSHIT about INDEPENDENT NATIONS THAT “WE HAVEN’T GOT WHERE WE ARE TODAY BY NOT KNOWING HOW TO SUBOPTIMIZE OUR INDEPENDENT STATE”, .. (REGINALD PERRIN ANYONE?).
NO! NO! NO!, there is no SUBOPTIMIZATION because we live in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence
“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)
