Inhibitions to human cognition follow the inverse pattern.
Perception -> generalization-> conflation -> faked commensurability

My view is that we try to reinforce paradigmatic networks bcasue it’s cheaper.

I mean. Humans are GREAT at logic. We are not so good at discovering disruptive external correspondence instead of confirming internal consistency. We are really REALLY bad at surviving logical overloading. I mean… math is interesting simply because it is so simple, that from that trivial simplicity we can construct deterministic consequences, beyond our ability to imagine. -

The thing that surprises me about the deflationary grammars is – like our exhaustion of edible flora – just how exhaustive we have been at developing grammars for each dimension and paradigm. -

All this study of ‘logic’ has been, as far as I can tell, rather ridiculous, sin
All this study of ‘logic’ has been, as far as I can tell, rather ridiculous, since the principle problem with human reasoning is *overloading* not logic. So solving the problem of overloading requires we merely limit grammar such that overloading is all but impossible. Operational language consists of a deflationary grammar that limits logic almost entirely to first order logic – the natural logic of the humna mind. -

Dimensions of reality on Y axis from upper right to bottom. Minimum to Ordinary
Dimensions of reality on Y axis from upper right to bottom. Minimum to Ordinary Language grammars on X upper right to left. Truth criteria along the bottom. Right most column ordinary language. So I have a lot of revision to do with this but in general, the idea is that in every deflationary ‘grammar’ we find the same sequence of constructs, and those constructs correspond to dimensions of reality. -

The structure of phrases, sentences, paragraphs, stories, and interwoven stories
The structure of phrases, sentences, paragraphs, stories, and interwoven stories of increasing length is dependent upon practice and upon rhythm. That practice and rhythm can come from speaking, reading, or both. And our patience with ourselves and our audience’s patience with our oratory, cannot diverge without either’s loss of context. Hence our ability to remember songs, and the classic iambic pentameter (heartbeat: da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM ), dactylic hexameter ( breath capacity: ssL – ssL – ssL – ssL – ssL – s or L). In other words, our ability to produce computational sequences is assisted by rythms. And this ability vaguely corresponds to our intelligence.
