APPARENTLY I NEED TO DO A QUICK OVERVIEW OF POSSIBLE PLOTS IN FICTION WRITING – AND THE NARRATIVE AS PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

So, I guess I just took it for granted that you can’t get out of university without knowing that there is only one type of story (Transcendence) and only so many plots (>6,<30), only so many character types (>6,<12), so many archetypes/heroes (~12), so many virtues (>4, <20), so many emotions (~8), so many senses (5 or 6), so many gender strategies (female, young male, mature male), and only one on purpose (acquisition).

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that the Thesaurus is organized by sense perception (grammar) and that human language consists of a very small set of analogies to experience and is very simple – it’s just possible to load and frame with increasing ‘color’.,

I suppose it’s obvious that the use of increasingly loaded language causes more associations between more senses and more memories and invokes greater free association (ideas) that we call thinking, imagination, or waking dream, or dream state depending upon the amount of focus we exercise over it.

This is pretty well worn territory.

On the other hand…

I didn’t assume it was obvious that what we could acquire – Property In Toto – was understood by anyone.

I didn’t assume it was obvious that this set of variables constitutes (literally) a complete programming language for the human mind.

I myself didn’t understand then, that all language consists of the communication of ‘measurements’ which do not differ substantially between humans other than perhaps in intelligence and experience. And consequently that ‘man’s abilities constitute a consistent set of weights and measures, and that all language consists of the trading of measurements that are testable by our senses.

I didn’t assume people understood that there is only one method of communication: suggestion using partial information (measurements). And that the method of suggestion can be used to convey honesty or deception. Or that the only way to convert honesty to truth is through subsequent establishment of limits by examples of falsification.

I didn’t assume people understood that the difference between ‘good’ myth and literature, and ‘evil’ myth and literature was the use of suggestion in combination with idealism or supernaturalism, or omniscience, or omnipotence to claim knowledge of causality they did not possess (idealism), and claims to authority they did not possess (supernaturalism, omniscience, and omnipotence.)

I have come to understand that there are sources of knowledge and sources of ignorance, and some ‘theories’ or ‘ideas’ actually create ignorance, and very few theories or ideas convey knowledge.

I have come to understand that the training of a people for higher and higher trust and greater and greater agency is only so good as the elimination of people of low trust and low agency from the population.

Like a lighter and lighter wheel, spinning faster and faster, trust creates increasing and increasing fragility without equal increases in intolerance for error (evil).
