The glut of data, the ever enlarging fund of information
and the vastness of accumulated knowledge, in recent times,
has been met with:
1) recourse to specialization,
2) breaking up ofproblems into manageable segments
(i.e. briefs, abstracts and summaries),
3) simplification, by means of arbitrary elimination,
the use of abbreviations, contractions, letter clusters,
and acronyms, made of first letters,without regard for the familiarity of all readers,
particularly their literacy,
e.g. DMZ, for demilitarized zone,
DNA, for deoxyribonucleic acid,
4) compression and elision.
The Need for Information Melodies
When we attempt to put or to placemotifs, theme fragments, elements or components of a subject
into a sufficiently tight or close range to one another
in order to hear the melody, the information melody,
we sometimes need to miniaturize or to compress
an elaborate concept.
We can ideally do this compression in progressive steps
or in sequenced stages.
We can either commence with utmost generalizations:
themes, principles or sweeping assertions, as a lead statementand then support that lead statement
with narratives.

Alternatively, we can commence
with examples, one after the other,
abstracting the common elements from these examples
in a conclusion or in a summary statement.
When one plays one note in a melody
followed by another,
at an enormous lapsed interval of time
one cannot hear the melody,one can not fit the parts together
with the attention span.
Jazz often stretches the interval in a melody
and inserts related and harmonic variations
into the stretched interval.
Writing styles often do the same.
Cognitive Impairment and Poor MappingWestern culture has failed to notice:we human beings are cognitively impaired and limited!
This cognitive impairment or limitation is the product of
1) a poor diet
2) a poor education and
3) poor training.
All three of these factors: poor diet
and poor education and poor training are partly
and are majorly generatedby means of media promotions: commercials!
We are stunned.
We are shocked.
We are entranced.

We are lame brained and we are half witted.
We deliberately handicap ourselves.
We learn language.
(see: The Origin of Consciousness
In The Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, by Julian Jaynes).
We regard this acquisition of language
as a source of unique capability.
Language enables communication to occur.Language records our explorations and experimentations.
Language makes it possible to not need to
replicate the explorations and experimentations
of prior generations, our ancestors.
The strategy of one language development
has committed us to the practice
of denotation, where we point to references
and of representation, where we stand for references.
That means we conceive of objects, forms, entities
as fixed and free standing, staying put,
while we use the invariation of fixation
to manipulate, to reason.
We ignore, continuous and constant change.
We disallow the flux and flow of change.
We arrest a world of objects and objectification.
We fail to notice, we ignore and we denythe foundations of perception:
how we change what we observe
in the process of observing it.
Quantum mechanics is a wake up call.

We attempt to map the reality we inhabit
and to navigate within it, with words,
with words that denote or that point to
and with words that represent or that stand for
the objects we want to signify or that we want to symbolize.
We have attempted to use invariance in the meaning of words,
with fixed and with legislated meaning.
This invariance permits reasoning
and allows the use ofsyllogisms.We have adopted the thinking of Aristotle
and we have overlooked the findings of Korzybski.
(see: Science and Sanity, by Alfred Korzybski)
We have highly valued logic, reason and the rational.
We believe we can derive truth from reason.
We cant!
(see: Immanuel Kant, The Critique of Pure Reason.)
This subject of logic, reason and the rational is treated elsewhere
(see: Quantum Mechanics, A Paradigm Tsunami, (Appendix I),
and other related documents, by this same author).
Consider the alternative of visual thinking.
See Figure 1(on the page after the next one).
Here, in this diagram, we commence with definition:This is the selection of an inventory of elements or components
which we pose, a question or a quest,
and which generate the problem or the question.

How do these elements or components
relate to one another?
We may omit the link, the connection
that provides the relationship.
From definition, we progress to relaxation.
Relaxation involves diminishing or eliminating stress and strain:
deformation in the meaning containing and meaning conveying media.
This is a kind of relaxation that generates a relating potential.
Just how many and how well can we link or can we connect
the selection of elements or components which we pose?
There are three alternatives from that juncture:
1) stop
2) cycle
3) persist.
The skill of visual thinking
generates more possibilities.
There is a periphery in two dimensions (a flat surface).
We can visualize tangencies, proximity and range, in any direction.
We can ascribe field qualities to the direction and range.
The up and the down vector can symbolize degrees of some property.
The left and right vector can permit alloys of combination.

The Rong 3 R's
Remembering EssentialsOf course, the reason we say 3 'R's is to remember:
readin' is a source of time-binding.We don't all need to replicate the same explorations
or the same experiments, generation after generation.
We need to make some new mistakes!
'ritin' records the representations of our research (an additional 3 rs),
our exploration and our experiments.
'ritin' generates something to read.
'rithmetic is the acknowledged rudimentary skill
for reduction to bottom-line results.
rithmetic shows certain kinds of relationships and ratios,
patterns, if you would.
3 R's or 7 C'sOf course, we need to regard and to respect others (2 more rs),
and to regard and respect our environment,
which partly consists of others.
We need to communicate, in order to coordinate,
in order to combine our efforts with the efforts of others, to collaborate.This makes it possible to create constructively,
conserving our common resources and energies.
Does that mean we need to change the r's to c's
and increase the number to the seven c's or even more?

To Respond and To ReproduceWe certainly need to be responsible!
Responsiveness is one of the fundamental characteristics of all life.
To be responsive is, or can be, to be responsible.
We need to produce and / or to reproduce.
Reproduction is a foundational characteristic of all life.
We are a celf, a cell-like self.
We have intransitive functions, performed on behalf of the celf.
We have transitive functions, exports.
To Relate with RegardWe must have a regard for sense, for truth and for relevance,
which we must responsibly relay through culture:
through our education and through our training.
Is life or is learning a pursuit of the right number of the right letters (r's or c's)
to represent our right use of the opportunity of life?
We certainly need to relate to one another
and relate to the other species of life,
upon which we are totally dependent.
Data, Information, Knowledge and DisciplinesSo, here we are relating more, to more, more extensively,
more effectively and more appropriately (the five mores),
as we represent our accrued and accumulating data, 'ritin',
reporting our discoveries, recording our understandings
and propagating our values.
We relate our data - to generate information.
We structure our information - to embody knowledge.

We multiply and we cross our fields of knowledge - to derive disciplines,
interdisciplines and multidisciplines.
We apply discovered values to our knowledge - to yield wisdom.
Augment Senses, Extend AwarenessWe augment our senses, to extend our awareness,
to generate our perceptions, our world view, or perhaps better,
to configure our cosmology, our view of the universe.
We attempt to heed or to acknowledge this ever enlarging awareness,
gained from augmented sensing, in what we do and in what we are.
We then augment the mobility, the motion and the forces of the human form
with energy, with technology, with skills.
More ThanYes, we must sense more, do more, be more,
more than we have sensed, more than others have sensed,more than we have done, more than others have done,
more than we have been, more than others have been.
We must quantify, in order to compare, all of these "more than's".
That's what 'rithmetic helps you do.
Isn't this all part of progress?
Don't we become able to produce more,
making it possible to have more and to do more,
by augmenting the limited movements and the restrained motions,
the forces and the actions of the human form?
Do we confuse doing more and having more, with being more?

Quantifiable More?On such a basis, don't we want to genetically engineer
a higher I.Q. (intelligence quotient)?
If we have 3.3 billion base pairs in our human genome
and twenty-two thousand genes in our forty-six chromosomes,
should we genetically engineer or, at least, breed
for more base pairs in our genome, with more genes,
in more chromosomes?
Certainly so, unless more isn't twice as much of the same thing(or some other multiplier, even greater than two).
How about increasing harmonics,
increasing the web of relatedness?
The Frontier of EvolutionEvolution may progress
by means of an extensification,
an enlarged domain of species individuationor by means of an intensification,
an increase in the harmonics,
of morphology, of anatomy, of physiology or of ecology.
Evolution can entail greater and greater gracefulness, a dance!
Substance and form characterize these two progressions.
Motion and dynamics define the function of the individuated species.
There are levels or stratas of orderin the characteristics of substance.
Nothing exists except energy and pattern.
There is no pattern without some associated energy.
There is no energy without some related pattern.

Such as heat, sound, light and light-like radiation
are the familiar varieties of energy.
All of these familiar varieties of energy
involve wave propagation and flow.
Loops of hesitant closure
create particle-like, lapsed time structures.
But these particle-like lapsed time structures
are made of connected flows of energy
in a spherical torus.We call that spherical torus a charge.
See the figures on the following page.
These are not free-standing structures.
There is a continuous flow of energy
to, towards, into, within, through, out of and from
each structure.
This flow follows a pattern of principles:
order characterized by uniformity and regularity,
and order characterized by uniqueness and complementarity.

We could even nominate more than four (4) base pairs
in our RNA (ribonucleic acid) or in our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
We could use more than twenty (20) amino acids
to generate our polymer proteins.
Oh, the gains, the progress, the quantitative improvement,
the stronger, the taller, the swifter, whatever . . .
How About Ratios
There are some significant ratios we could improve.We could increase the diversity of our sensing and of our awareness,
by supplementing the inventory
of the technical augmentation of our senses,
the way we have done with X rays and with telescopes,
with infra-red and with microscopes,
with radio-waves and with giant antennae.
The ratio would then be expressed as:how much increased or improved diversity of awareness
per unit of augmented sensing, in our new inventory.
Elegance as a RatioWe could call this diversity of awareness
per unit inventory of sensing, a ratio:
a ratio called nothing less than elegance.
Do we form some sort of a civilizational cult of technology
in our concepts of progress?
Do we fail to even consider some possibilities?
What about harmonic intensification?

Augmented Sensing, Augmented KnowingIf we only know by means of our senses
and the accumulation of knowledge we use to supplement our senses,
in order to transform sensing into perception,
aren't we limited by what we can sense
and by what we can know?
So, isn't augmentation of our sensing
and augmentation of our ability to know,the frontier of progress for our species?
The Consequences of Only Augmented SensesConsider that the senses, howsoever augmented,
sustain the separateness and the obstruction
of the separateness of the self,
as an observer, a participant observer,
according to quantum mechanics.
There is a lag in the communication
of the nature, the state, the condition, the behaviour, etc.,
of whatever we observe.
Not only is there a lag in communication,
but the senses require that we configure the data of communication
into the codes able to be registered by the senses.
The data must be in the form of something sensed,
something we can see, or hear, or feel, or smell, or taste.

Undeveloped Senses, Relationshipsor Connections
Perhaps, we have failed
to even notice or to develop:
some of the senses,
some of the relationships
or some of the connections, we could have.
We have been so enchanted with the senses that we augment
that we have ignored or have dismissed
the possibility of developing latent senses.
Roger Wescott, in his book: The Divine Animal,
points out that we have not five (5)senses, as commonly believed,
but as many as twenty three (23) senses, in the whole animal world
and as many as twenty (20) senses in the human species,
in particular.
This is discussed in the earlier passage in The Rong 3 Rs.
He points out that beetles have a hygrotic sense,
where humidity is sensed, using dorsal hairs.
There is the brithic sense, which responds to gravity.
The scallop has a statocyst, as a receptor for this sense.
There is a barotic sense, which detects pressure.
Fish use a lateral line, by means of which to sense pressure.
There are the palmotic, thermotic, magnesic, and electresic senses.
The palmotic senses vibration.
The thermotic senses heat.
The magnesic senses magnetic forces.
The electresic senses electricity.

Wescott points out that the cryotic sense or the sense of cold
is distinct from the sense of heat;
different nerve endings are involved.
Even the senses of
pleasure and pain, the hedonic and algesic,
are separate.
Some human beings have a radionic sense.
They can sense radar, directly.There is a chronometric sense or sense of time, a biological clock.
There is a topometric sense or sense of place.
Another such sense is the orgonotic sense,
spoken about by such as Karl von Reichenbach and Wilhelm Reich,
the sensing of life energy.
To further the inventory of possibilities,
there is the cryptesthetic sense or group of senses.
This includes such as the sense of telepathy.
We can add to this list
the faculties of remote viewing and out-of-the-body sensing.
Avoidance and EvasionWhy do we augment the five (5)senses,
three (3) of which relate to surfaces and to form:
seeing reflected light from surfaces,
hearing sounds generated by moving surfacesand reflected from surfaces
and yet we ignore or neglect the other possibilities.

Perhaps we mean to limit our possibilities.
Perhaps we limit the possible relationships or connections we could have,
if we developed some of these other senses,
in order to limit, to diminish or to eliminate an accountability,
to provide limiting boundaries of responsibility.
Perhaps the choice is not one of limiting the senses we develop,
but limiting the responsibilities we accept.
PossibilitiesWe could investigate structuralism, knowing without learning,
the work of Claude Levi-Strauss,
the psychologist from the University of Geneva.
We could explore knowing by connection, knowing in what we observe,
rather than repress
representational knowing, in the mind or in the brain.
This knowing by connection is offeredby both Zen and Tibetan meditational techniques.
First, we must cease the internal dialogue, the talking in our heads.
Next, we must regard that to which we direct our attention
as movement, at a certain scale itself.
Just a few hints.

The Use of the Creature
Breath - swiftly blownfrom pursed lips
propels a missile - like a feather
and a strange observer
watching me blow a feather
may quite well feel
he knows the use
of the creature he watches.
but then I leap from a bank
into still water
and a great splash rises
and a strange observer . .
well -
And after that
I shout in a canyonand a strange observer

But he never saw me tap my fingers

climb a mountain
pat a dog
eat an apple nor even more: feel or think

What have I seen me do?
Do I know my use?
What yet will I see,

People travel to wonder
at the height of the mountains,
at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long course of rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars;and they pass by themselves
without wondering.

From Dark Ages To Dim AgesWhere we have,
during a kind of extension of the dark ages,
moved into and through the dim ages
of seventeenth century physics,
we still apply this primitive physics, in the twenty-first century.
We dont just apply these physics principles to physics.
We take the primitive, clock-like mechanics of Newton,
which analogously implies and infers, free-standing existencesof particles, of objects or of entities.
Examples From Our CultureStar Trekinsists there is such a thing as a full stop,
when traveling in space.
Star Trekstill insists on logic as the greatest virtue of the mind,
whether the logic is uttered, by Spock,
or from the mouth of the android, Data.Star Trekbelieves conflict is still the inevitable or the prominent content
of many encounters and exchanges.
Star Trekpractices and operates a military social pattern.
This is also primitive.
Star Trekstill regards space as the final frontier.
It isnt.
There is no such thing as a full stop in space.
Logic is not the greatest virtue of the mind.
Conflict is not necessary, or useful, much less valuable.
Military social patterns are counterproductive
with respect to the vector

Military organization is a poor way to combine human efforts.
Space is not the final frontier.
ConflictConflict presumes a separate, isolated, categorically defined entity:
an enemy.
There arent any enemies.
There is incompleteness.
There are futile explorations.Killing is inarticulate!
Often, we presume or assume
that death places an entity
beyond the bounds of influence.
It doesnt.
We only change the medium ofconflict.
The technology of armshas always attempted to increase the range of the effect:
from knives to swords,
from swords to spears,
from spears to javelins,
from javelins to arrows,
from arrows to bullets,
from bullets to microwaves or laser beams.
It all starts with a belief in the necessity
to make someone do what they should door to refrain from doing what they shouldnt do.
How about reporting the consequences that flow
and generating moral self-governing?

Angry words are ineffective,

actions? Actions say too little,

New Physics (about the full stop)All movement or all motion requires
a body of reference or a system of reference,
in order to define the movement or the motion
and to determine the pattern of energy exchange
within and between
each object, each form or each figure.
About LogicLogic requires symbols or words,
which denote or which represent,
which point to or which stand for respectively,
which signify or which symbolize,
so called objects, forms and figures.
These objects, forms or figures are regarded objectively,
quite superstitiously.
We believe these objects, referenced by words,
have free standing existence.
They dont.
Everything is interdependent.
Energy and pattern flows continuously
toward, to, into, within, through, out of and from
each and every so called object or entity.
There are no ultimate particles.
There are no particles.
Particle-like existence requires a lapse of time
in one observation.

The shorter the increment of time
the less particle-like it is.
Everything is impermanent.
Everything and everyone changes, continuously.
Everything and everyone is constituted of only energy and only pattern.
There is no energy without pattern.
There is no pattern without energy.
Signifier and Symbol SystemsWe tend to formulate our signifiers and our symbols
for denotation (pointing to) and for representation (standing for)
with low energy to pattern ratios.
This low energy to pattern ratio
makes the signifiers or the symbols portable
and manipulatable.
In the digital world, we have only 1s and 0s.
In languages, particularly in alphabetic languages,
we let letters stand for sounds.
We assemble those sounds into phonemes and into syllables.
We assemble those phonemes and those syllables into words.
We assemble those words - into phrases, clauses and sentences.
We disallow the information melody
that permits conceptualization of most of the reality we inhabit.

Visual ThinkingWe could be helped by visualthinking.
Visual thinking relates more
to more
more extensively,
more effectively and
more appropriately.
We change what we observe,
in the process of observing it.We derive our perceptions from adding knowing templates
to what we sense.
Intent as the Source of PatternPerception is adding what we know to what we sense.
Our rate ofperception is affected
by our repertoire ofknowledge templates.
Intent can affect our inventory ofknowledge templates.Our education needs to be combined with training.
There is a unity of knowledge and action.
(see: Wang Yang Ming, Unity of Knowledge and Action)
Life Essential SystemsThe air we breathe,
more particularly, the oxygen we need to take in,
is generated by plant species,
using photosynthesis.
Human life is totally dependent upon other species oflife.

However, we do not honour, we do not regard and we do not respect
the life upon which we are dependent.
We control, we dominate and we exploit that life.
We use technology to do so.
We are infatuated with science and with technology,
because it allows us to control, to dominate and to exploit
thelife upon which we are dependent.
The Discovery of the Phytotronic HydroponicumIn 1973, in Scotland, high oil prices
caused all of the green houses to close.
Living on a 430 acre farm,
I concerned myself with this impact of closure of the greenhouses:
1) a surge in the prices for some fruits and vegetables,
2) a limitation in the quality of the produce,caused by long paths of transport,
3) an economic imbalance (more imports).
There had to be an alternative
to this dependence upon cheap oil.
Greenhouse DesignGlass was heavy.
The structure that supported the glass
needed to be sturdy, strong and adequately large.
The shadow and the silhouette from the supporting frame
was bulky.

Light LossThere is an axiom:
one percent light equals one percent crop.
We must diminish or we must eliminate
the shadow and the shade
from the use of glass, in greenhouses.
Glass Filtration of LightJohn Ott discovered
that glass did not transmit
certain colours or certain wavelengths of light
required by plant life for such as flowering.
One such colour was in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum.
So, we began developing film alternatives.
Film alternatives were lighter
and could be formulatedto transmit the ultraviolet light required by plant life.
Excess PhotorespirationBeside and beyond that,
glass transmitted too much
of colours the plants didnt like and didnt want.
These colours contributed to excess photorespiration.
Excess photorespiration used up saccharides (CH2)
the plant worked hard to generate.
This was the sap generated by the leaves
that flowed in the phloem, beneath the cortex.
These colours were such as green, yellow and orange.

The various chlorophylls required red and blue.
Phototropism required blue.
Pink GreenhousesSo, we found dyes we could dissolve
in the film formula, dyes that fluoresced.
The dye absorbed such as short wavelength ultraviolet or green
and emitted such as red.
This film could provide double glazing
by being inflated.
Light DistributionHighly reflective webs
augmented the light distribution.
Inflation with carbon dioxide permitted both
1) a means of enhancing carbon dioxide levels,
2) a diffusion through the film surfacethat disallowed degradation of the film.
The fluorescent dye in the film
meant we had a pink greenhouse.
Closed VentilationWe needed to close the ventilation
(both for energy savings and to shield the plant life from pollution).
That meant we needed to do what ventilation does:
1) uptake the water vapour given off by leaves
(five to six times their leaf weight per day),
2) remove and balance the oxygen given off by the leaves,

3) supply the demand for carbon dioxide
required for photosynthesis.
Room to GrowWe needed to give each seed, each seedling or each plant
the space it needed, when it needed it
and not more than it needed,
before it needed it.
We needed to gain the advantages of companion planting.
ECOsonicsAs we discovered the advantageous response
and the efficiencies of augmented sound (ecoustics).
We added that factor to the environment.
Sound, of the appropriate frequencies,
enhanced both the transport of biochemical substance
and improved the reaction rates.

1) the work of Cleve Baxter,

1) The nature, the state and the orientation

Democracy is the rule of the majority.
But how is that majority created?
How is that majority generated?How is that majority formed or structured?
How is that majority organized or sustained?
That majority must be informed.
That majority can not be the product
of a highly intermittent poll (voting day),
from a small number of alternatives.
True democracy needs a voice,
not just a vote.
True democracy needs an informed voice.
The Era of Print Media and ReasonThe print media served that purpose ofinforming
in the society made possible by Guttenberg and his moveable type.
With the advent of computers
and the improved operating systems
in those computers
Guttenbergs moveable type was superseded.
However, society, democratic society,
was still informed by means of words, language and reason.

Al Gore, in his book, The Assault Upon Reason (2007)
elaborately describes and details
the eclipse of printed media by television (t.v.).
So, we have had an era
where the brief affirmation, the terse assertions of t.v.
and the emotive imagery t.v.
provides arouses, alerts and conditionally informs
the only kind and only degree ofdemocracy possible
via Madison Avenue information media.We have a stilted, insufficiently regulated,
concentration of influence, in the t.v. media.
Distribution of ConsequencesWe need a distribution ofconsequences.
When the source of authority bears few, little or no consequences
and where those who do bear the consequences
have few, little or no measure or means of authority,we have the foundations of centralized totalitarianism.
Democracy works only with decentralized authority,
made possible by information distribution
and by policies of openness and accountability.
We need a balance of incentives.
We need hope.
Hope requires certain freedoms.
Hope requires certain rights.Those freedoms and those rights
can not be abridged or be truncated.

FreedomFrom, To, Of, For and Withand the Complementarities
Freedom SpecifiedWe may conceive offreedom as freedomfrom, freedomto,
freedomof, freedomforand freedomwith.Freedomfrom may require inhibition, constraints, limits,
obstructions or boundaries.
Freedomto, freedomof, freedomforand freedomwith,may require the removal of those same
inhibitions, constraints, limits, obstructions or boundaries.
Complementarity and SenseBecause freedom of the one kind displaces freedom of another kind,
the two freedoms are mutually exclusive.
The degree to which one freedom is gained and held,
the otherfreedom is forfeited.
This complementarity offreedoms means
that we cannot be forfreedom and make any sense.
If there is any sense in which we can increase or gain freedom,
it is in the sense of being free of confrontation, free of conflict,
free from obstruction,
because we communicate with, coordinate with,and / or harmoniously exchange with or interact with, our environment.
In this sense, freedom can be increased.
There can be a gain in freedom.

We may say that we have more freedom, if and as
we diminish conflict or obstruction.
But even in this sense, we are not free to conflict orfree to obstruct.
So, freedom remains a matter of complementarity.
The phrase "forfreedom" sounds sensible,
but it is something that can only be said
because those two words can be arranged in that sequence,
not because it makes any sense.
It is like making a map without any territory.It is a representation, without meaning.
"Freedom", as a term, must be used with a qualifying preposition.
It is necessary to specify: freedom from, freedom to, freedom of,
freedom for orfreedom with.
Freedom from is complementary to freedom to, freedom of,
freedom for and freedom with.
Restricted, Restrained, LimitedFreedom of speech is not the freedom to say anything,
about anything or anyone, to anyone.
We are not free to lie, under oath. We are not free to slander.
Fraud, involving misrepresentation, is unlawful.
Ourfreedom of speech is restricted, restrained, limited,
both by law and by the consequences.
One person's freedom cannot be another person's bondage.Yet, much of what is exercised as freedomforone
is a violation offreedomforanother.

The freedomofsome people and some organizationsto research, to develop, to produce
and to distribute or to use products, without testing
and without an awareness of all the consequences,
sometimes threatening all life,
impinges upon the freedoms or the rights of others
to be freefrom those consequences.The presence of pesticides, detected in every living creature on earth,
made possible to be detected
by the work of Martin and Lovelock, in gas chromatography
and reported by Rachel Carson in the book Silent Spring
is such a violation offreedom.
The production of pollutants of all kinds are such an example.
While some are freeto use inorganic nitrogen fertilizers
on their fields, on their lawns, on their meadows or on their pastures,others lose the freedomto have healthy water supplies
or a stable atmosphere and climate.
ExemplificationIf I am to be free from the discomfort,
perhaps even the pain or the threat of cold,
if I am going to be free from the dangers of extreme cold,
I may require shelter, shield: apparel or blankets.I may require warmth or heat.
I will require oxygen and food to metabolize.

If I am to be free from the inhibitions
of apparel, blankets, shelter, etcetera,
I will need to live in a climate, in an environment, at a latitude,
which supports that freedom.
If I am to be free to travel, I may require
a passport, a vehicle, roads, fuel, services, money, and so forth.
If my travel is to be free from the problems of language barriers,
I will need interpreters, or many language skills.If I want to be free of the invasion of privacy,
by having interpreters, as constant companions,
I will need language skills.
If I want to be free from the effort to learn language
and perhaps the efforts of acquiring language skills,
I will need to diminish, if not eliminate social exchange.
If, on the other hand, I want to be free to communicate,
free to learn, free to coordinate, I cannot be free
from the task and from the implications of learning language
or learning to communicate, without language.
In GeneralIn general, all freedoms have modifiers, prepositions,
which specify relationships,
relationships with boundaries, with barriers, with limits,with constraints, with obstructions, with inhibitions
or with their absence.

Absolute freedom would mean amoral behaviour,
irresponsible behaviour or total egocentricity.

the freedom from customs, the freedom from tariffs,
the freedom from rules and from regulationsregarding the transport and the exchange of products and services.

These advertisements are intended to influence, to arouse,
to generate wanting or desire.
They generate discontent
and the level of wants or desires are so great, sometimes,
that people are willing to hurt others
to have what they must have.
Such a society is not free from the social problems of crime,
the social disbalance of poverty and the social injustices,which require legislation and law to enforce equality of rights
for minorities, for women, etcetera.
To claim to have a free society, means, in this case,
freedom from many social responsibilities
and the costs of those responsibilities.
To claim a free economy, means free from concern for the environment,
free from resource conservation,
free from protection from indiscriminate production of waste,
free from moral accountability for residues of production
or hazardous products or processes.
Necessary ChallengeWe must challenge phrases like a free society

Free trade is a freedom from some constraints,
but free trade means to be subject to ruthless "bottom line" economics,
which exempts itself from any accounting
of the costs of social concerns, environmental concerns, moral concerns.
It produces stressed and compulsive executives and staff,
who reject social issues
as costs from which they would excuse themselves.
In the name of creating jobs and wealth,
we create poverty, ill health, stress, social unrest,frustration and even death and disruption,
due to environmental damage.
Economic Gains, Economic Powerversus Health Gains and Social Order
There should be no political party with such a platform as free trade.
The empty phrases: "free society", "free economy" or "free trade"
are words without meaning or words with a dangerousor a deceptive meaning.
To be free to pursue economic gains
at the cost of social well-being, to pursue economic power
at the cost of social order, to pursue economic power,
at the cost of poverty for any, to pursue economic goals
at the cost of health and death for many,
is the pinnacle of self service, self interest, selfishness,
egocentrism and the cult of individualism,
at the cost of violence,
in the name of enforcing laws,
to perpetuate the property rights
of those without moral conscience.

Power - Restricted, Checked, Controlled, and ModeratedThe political and economic power of such people
must be restricted, checked, controlled, and moderated,
and in some cases, simply taken away.
There is no such a thing as a free society, a free economy
or free trade.
Morality costs something.
If government has a reason to exist,
it is to administer that morality,not to enforce disbalanced advantages
used without responsibility for social order or for environmental quality.
Materialism, Codified as EconomicsTo put ownership of production processes
and urban planning principles, in the hands of the people,
in the name of representational methods, which are equally as ruthless,
is to betray the highest ideals.To offer a vote, which is a highly intermittent expression,

Openness, Connection, InterdependenceThe openness of any system, the perception of the system as open,
allows an awareness of connection
and the acknowledgment of being, of doing
and of interdependent existence.
Everything in the universe is what it is,
because everything else in the universe is what it is.
Everything in the universe does what it does,
because everything else in the universe does what it does.
Present day developments in cosmology are comingto suggest, rather insistently
that everyday conditions could not persist,but for the distant parts of the universe,
that all our ideas of space and geometry would be invalidif the distant parts of the universe were taken away."

". . . the world is totally connected;. . . there are no events, anywhere in the universe,which are not tied to every other event in the universe."
". . . every event in the world is connectedto every other event."
"It is . . . an essential part of the methodology of science
to divide the world, for any experimentinto what we regard as relevant
and what we regard . . . as irrelevant."
" . . . the basic assumption that I have madeabout dividing the world into the relevant and the irrelevant
is in fact a lie."
". . . the reason why we havemade such enormous changes
in our conceptual picture of the worldin the last seventy years
is because we have had to push outthe boundaries of the relevant
further and further."

Questions of RelationshipHow does this relate to freedoms and the complementarity offreedoms?
The complementarity offreedoms is a systematic relevance.
Free WillFree will is the same as any otherfreedom. Free will is complementary.
Free will requires the operation of a boundary, a barrier,
a constraint, a limit or an obstruction.
That obstruction or that boundary is space and time in the case offree will.
Space and time create the delay in consequences that permit free will.
Are we to be freefrom the immediate consequences of our choices?Or are we to be freetochoose, with a delay in consequences
and have a freedomto edit, a freedomto refine,a freedomto improve our choices?
Creators, being CreatedWe are creators, being created,
because we enter into the opportunity of delayed consequences,
and exercise free will.
We are creators being created, because we create,
with the feed-back of experience
and the opportunity to alter our choices,
due to the delay in consequences,
made possible by the obstructions of space and time.It is a game, it is a specially bounded environment,
where we have the opportunity to choose
or to exercise so called free will, with a delay in consequences.
The principle of complementarity applies to free will too.

With the freedomto choose comes the limitations,the obstructions, the delay in consequences
that sometimes produces frustrations.
This means that this reality is constructed of the very obstructions
that both limits our power and grants free will,
by means of a delay in consequences.
Discrimination and certain kinds of intelligibility
occurs by means of the obstruction,which grants the delay in consequences
which, in turn, allows free will.
When we are what we are
as a result of the discrimination of a boundary
and a defining delay in consequences,
we want the power of openness,
without the play of our energy, our strength, our efforts
against the obstructions of delayed consequences,nor the limitations implied
in access to the supply of energy or of pattern.
We must open. We must be moral.
We must acknowledge our dependencies, our interdependence.
We are dependent upon one another, socially.
We are dependent upon other life forms, ecologically.
The values associated with these dependencies
must be embodied in our cultures.
We have and we need constraints, designed limits,moral and ethical responsibilities.
Ourfreedoms are complementary.

We must be free to live, free to breathe,
free to enjoy clean water and healthy food.
We must be free to be near one another
and dependent upon one another, as well as free to be apart.
Some people want to be free from the responsibility
to control their own behaviour.
They want someone else to provide that control.
That is not a freedom we can grant.
Recently, we had a session called
"Abandoning the Game while Keeping in Play".
We discussed game theory.
We stipulated the nature of a game
to be a set of rules, limits, constraints or obstructions.
Recently, we had a session where we discussed intelligibility
as requiring distinctions.
The nature of distinction often involves boundaries.
But here we have the opportunity to see, more precisely,
the nature of intelligibility
as something other than the dependence only upon distinction.
Intelligibility involves the relationships, the connections,
the dependencies and the exchanges,
the flows and the flux of energy and of pattern
or of information.
How does this relate to game theory and the abandonment of the game?
How does this relate to intelligibility on the basis of something
other than distinction?

That exploration, that development, made possible
by a delay in consequences is cycled.
We are cycled between the constrained situation
of our present experience in this obstructed reality
and the immediacy of consequences we experience,
either upon death, or when we say, not my will, but thine be done.
We are governed by a larger scheme.
We have the complementarityoffreedomfrom the immediacy of consequences
and the freedom ofhaving the immediacy of consequences.
It is enlightenment, it is self-realization,
when we open to the immediacy of consequences.
It is creation in the medium of an unobstructed reality.
We must let go.We must relax and we must release the defining boundary.

The cult of materialism,
the regard and respect of physical reality
as the only reality or
as the most important reality,
betrays the virtues
of both communism (as practiced)and capitalism (as practiced).
Dark matter and dark energyare so extensive,
we are able to eclipsethe prominent significance of physical reality.
