alignment

a follow-up to io - charlie - metaphor Great… this is fun! – Charlie (Charlie Munford @) Yes it is! –i’m enjoying this process! intro Overall, yes I can accept your definition of metaphor as a subset of all arbitrarily produced abstractions…the abstractions that say something important or useful for minds aiming to understand the world. But I think I disagree that there is anything universal about such truths, simply because I think minds are almost infinitely diverse, all the way down to true minds in single cells (and there are single-celled organisms, gut microbiota, in our minds)....

constraint constraint structure behaviour background The overarching theme of this project is alignment, – which described plainly, refers to several ways in which (arbitrarily any) universal phenomena relate to one another, across arbitrary scopes of concern 1. We evolved the means to interpret phenomenal alignment in several distinct-though-related ways: Constraint structure behaviour General special Composition Map territory Geometry graph set Phenomenal trace Tiling Here we focus on constraint, structure, behaviour 2....

what are we studying when we are doing mathematics? map and territory Consider map and territory 1 2: Science interprets territory, formally, to compose representational maps Engineering composes (or shapes) territory, by applying map to circumstances, through action Mathematics, central to science and engineering, formalises cartography and navigation of map and territory, and more: mathematics charts the form and characteristics 3 of the nexus 4 between map and territory – fundamentals of constraint, structure and behaviour 5, of interpretation, representation, and cognition 6 alignment Consider that:...

“distract ye not” Territory aligns: our maps ought to. “science speculates, to resolve the composition of territory to map; engineering speculates to re-compose territory from applicable maps” However where science narrows perspective to isolate every finer distinctions, engineering must always consider the broader context, within which any re-composed territory must survive. musing “criticism of x is no more ‘anti x’, than filing a bug report is ‘anti-software’” Science (the scientific endeavour at large), has become “the study of distinction, above all else”....

What is truth? Fundamentally, territory is truth. Truth is also a measure of alignment, intersection, continuity, consilience, and coherence, across the circumstances of {map; territory; or both} Discontinuity hampers the interpretation and evaluation of truth. we best assess truth by minimal-viable account #tbc
