THE REASON FOR ALL THIS AUTISTIC DEFLATIONARY EFFORT

It is the nature of an autistic (deflationary, context-independent, norm independent) mind to break everything into the smallest possible constituent parts: where causality is determined (axiomatic or closed causality), and to find comprehensibility at that level of detail. Yet still recognize that normals cannot comprehend at that level of detail. And to be frustrated that no abstraction of that level of detail will convey the information present at that level of detail without the introduction of error.

I have come to think of that level of detail as ‘context-free’ description; and to think of normie-levels of detail as ‘context-dependent’ levels of detail.

So this is why, when I have an individual or group to talk to, I can listen to them a bit and determine their frames of reference – their ‘contexts’ – then I can reframe the argument for their context.

What I am NOT good at (and you and others are much better at) is determining a NORMATIVE CONTEXT to use in lieu of the interpersonal context we obtain during discourse.

So this is why I require such precise definitions: to create a categorically consistent, an internally consistent, externally correspondent, and existentially consistent, and scope(scale) limited, thereby creating a fully correspondent context.

And this is why I take so much time and work so hard to produce so many series and lists, and so many aphorisms, that state both via positiva and via negativa such that balance and completeness are contained in a pithy statement of observation.

The great Chinese philosophers (Confucius and Lao Tzu) probably failed for no other reason than Chinese is a high context low precision language. But they managed to create so many aphorisms and riddles to accomplish by suggestion that which cannot be stated in their language with precision free of context.

Efficient communication requires context and suggestion and truthful communication requires their absence. Loading communicates one’s value attributions. Framing narrows normative context and can be used to justify one’s decisions or to deceive.

Or very simply, it takes three points to test a line, a series to test a definition, the combination of via-positiva, and via-negativa assertions to test a statement, and a full accounting using all of the above to test an argument.
