THE SPECTRUM OF GRAMMARS OF COGNITION:
Definitions. Each term can be understood as follows:
Metaphysics: The foundational branch of philosophy concerned with understanding the fundamental nature of reality and being. It involves abstract concepts such as existence, time, objecthood, and identity.

Theology: The study of the nature of the divine, encompassing various religious beliefs and practices. Theology often interprets religious texts and seeks to understand the nature and will of deities
.
Philosophy: A broad field that uses reason and logic to explore fundamental questions about knowledge, existence, ethics, and the human mind. Philosophy underpins many other disciplines by providing a framework for questioning and understanding.

Ideology: A system of beliefs or ideas, especially those that form the basis of economic, political, or social theory and policy. Ideologies shape our perception of the world and influence our actions within it.

Empiricism: A philosophical approach that emphasizes the role of sensory experience and evidence in the formation of ideas. It argues that knowledge is primarily derived from sensory experience.

Science: A systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Science relies on empirical methods for gathering data and formulating theories.

Operationalism: (first principles): Computational or Operational Logic: A field that combines logic with the principles of computation. It is concerned with the use of algorithms, computation, and formal systems to solve problems, make decisions, and understand reasoning processes.

THE COORDINATION PROBLEM OF THE NOW
So AFAIK we require some means of creating a metaphysical set of value judgements but the means of doing so can be any to all of the methods of conveying information above from the most intuitionistic and imaginary to the most rational and concrete – as suitable for the needs of the distribution of abilities in the population.

But there are blocking agents in our existing thought.

THE METAPHYSICAL BLOCKING AGENTS IN THE WEST
The principle problem is searching for the good instead of the true – and then from the true discovering a possible good. In all known cases all religions and ideologies (and most philosophies) seek the good first and the true Is irrelevant. As such they contain the seeds of their own suicide as well as causing harms by externalities to the population as a consequence.

Example: Spiritual Truth vs “My Truth” vs > Darwinian Truth vs > Evidentiary Truth vs > Testimonial Truth vs > ideal truth vs analytic truth: Spiritual Truth is a ‘good’ not a true, but it is true in the sense that it provides a means of decidability that provides a positive feedback in the context of the suppression of neuroticism that is endemic in uncertainty.

Given:
1 – All language consist of measurements
2 – All language follows the universal grammar of continuous recursive disambiguation.
3 – All paradigms simple permit or deny dimensions of measurement.

And:
1 – All logic is falsificationary not justificationary
2 – Good first rather than true first.
3 – Mathiness (verbalism, idealism) vs operationalism (actions, realism)
4 – Darwinian everything is true for the above reasons.
5 – Babbage’s failure set us back a century
6 – philosophy and even analytic philosophy ended because of the above and was dead by the mid 1960s.
7 – My observation is that the brain is easily explainable by a few general rules, and as such the blocking agent in matters of coordinating people by whatever Grammar (means of conveyance) is a hangover from theology philosophy and pseudoscience.

Therefore:
1 – So as far as I can tell, we advance in precision but in doing so advances in the grammars of abstraction. But as we advance in abstraction we can back-propagate reforms to the grammars of intuition and experience.

So as we progress toward the most parsimonious consistency and correspondence, it should be possible to reform ideology, philosophy, and theology such that they are non-false in any meaningful way, but still provide their function which is an obtainable and usable system of reasoning suitable for the neurological organization of their brains.
