    “CURT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ‘SERIALIZATION’?” (important) (core)

    —“What is serialization?”—Duke Newcomb

    (From the P-Method of “Disambiguation, Serialization, and Operationalization”) [B]efore using a term, define the term, by researching the etymology of the term (history), then collecting all synonyms and antonyms (and etymology) and organizing them into one or more series by common properties. We use serialization to force disambiguation between terms that appear similar but are not equal for use in naming(referencing) or deduction. This is how we converted common language into a fully commensurable system of measurement, and expose our errors, and our ignorance, and most sophisms whether a deceit-fallacy, ideal-verbal, pseudoscientific-magical, or supernatural-occult Examples using ‘True’: DUE DILIGENCE AS CONSTANT RELATIONtautologically true, idealistically true, testimonially(really) true, honestly true, impulsively true. and: DECIDABILITY AS CONSTANT RELATIONincomprehensible, comprehensible(understandable), agreement(on understanding), preferential(for me), good(mutually preferential), testimonially true (decidable); ideally true(logically), or tautologically true(identical). Some Other Examples on our site, particularly after item seven: https://propertarianinstitute.com/basic-concepts/the-cheat-sheet/ It’s sort of like (exactly like) creating a number line, or a series of points on a line. The number line creates a system of measurement by some underlying constant relation (in the case of numbers, position), and then points on a line which test conformity to the constant relation (constant positional relation between n-dimensional positions. Operationalism is a bit harder: writing complete sentences as transactions with a consistent point of view, in ePrime. Testimonial Operationalism is a bit harder: writing those same complete sentences as promissory observations, Operationalism into Acquisition, Property-in-toto, and Reciprocity is a bit harder. This requires you start using economics of human behavior. But once you get there by combining serialization, operationalism, and acquisitionism, you have the formal logic of all human language – a universal commensurable system of measurement for human speech. “The Grammars” just provide a sort of (precise) equivalent to the table of fundamental particles, the periodic table of the elements, the dimensions of geometry, except, for all human language from the logics on one end to lying on the other, and with the Grammars you can learn rather easily to quickly recognize what techniques others are using to justify their ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, or deceit. This is why I usually refer to the P-Method as the ‘Geometry of Thought”. Because just as Descartes restored mathematics to geometry, The british empiricists restored testimony to geometry (empiricism, I’m restoring all language to geometry. By geometry I mean real (aristotle) constant relations(engineering), instead of ideal (platonic) constant relations(literary association), or supernatural(semitic) constant relations (astrology, making-stuff-up (ie: lying)). However this big picture of the differences caused by the civilizational origins of their thought and it’s incorporation into the their rationalizations and language, and metaphysics, and habits, is invisible to almost everyone. I just write it here so the few who might want to see that pattern can discover it. -Curt

    CONVERTING KANT’S APRIORISM TO SCIENCE(TESTIMONY)

    A Priori: “independent of observation.”

    There are three dimensions to a priori truth claims:

    i) Aprioricity vs A posteriori,

    ii) Analyticity vs Syntheticity, and

    iii) Necessity vs Contingency

    Therefore we can produce at least the following spectrum of a priori claims.

    (a) Analytic A Priori: tautological: 2+2=4 and all deductions thereof.

    (c) Necessary Synthetic A Priori: Childless women will have no grandchildren.

    (b) “General” Synthetic A Priori : Increasing money increases inflation.

    (d) Contingent Synthetic A Priori: “all other things being equal, as a general trend, increasing demand will increase supply, although we cannot know the composition of that supply in advance, we can identify it from recorded evidence.”

    This produces a an ordered spectrum of declining precision:

    (a) Identity(categorical consistency) – Analytic A Priori

    (b) Logical:(internal consistency) – Nec. Synthetic a priori

    (c) Empirical: (external consistency) – Gen. Synth. a priori

    (d) Existential: (operational consistency) – Cont. Synth. a priori

    Nothing more to be said. We now have converted kantian apriorism to scientific and testimonial prose and in doing so explained the relationship between Testimonials and Kantian apriorism, and in doing so the increase in precision under P, increase in testability under P, and ended Kant’s attempt to undermine our ability to falsify and his attempt at preservation of christian and church authority.

    You may not yet grasp why that paragraph is so, but you will.

    Mises might be hard but consider praxeology as a failed attempt at operationalism in economics. You can’t find anything intelligent on the subject – it’s been converted to sophistry by the rothbardians. My work is the most thorough:

    OPERATIONALIZING AN ARGUMENT FOR THE PRESERVATION OF MALINVESTMENT IN PRIORS

    (example of faith or other desirable false beliefs)

    —“My solution is values testing. Which turns out to be epistemology testing. Meaning being downstream from epistemology, and values are downstream from meaning. The semiotic link between concept, word and thing cannot be broken in empiricism. Redefinition of terms that you see in certain critiques doesn’t negate the original concept; rather it creates a void to be filled by a new word, or rejection of the modified definition. Test for empiricism. “— Andrew M Gilmour

    I am sure that makes some sort of sense to you but I can’t translate it into truthful speech.

    So lets operationalize it and see what happens:

    “My solution to (some problem or other) consists in testing (some kind of, category of, some individual or group’s) values. Truthful statements require knowledge individuals don’t possess, cannot obtain, cannot ford to obtain, or are unwilling to obtain, so they substitute (whatever set of constant relations between senses, associations with objects, contexts, locations, and valued returns) is within their memories (experience and therefore meaning). The individual’s association between the constant relations produced by some mark, display, word or action, and cumulative prior associations currently in memory (concept), are not falsified or replaced or informed by evidence (experience) accumulated using physical and logical instrumentation we use to test our sense perception, free association, and reason, and to falsify, confirm, or evolve those same associations (categories). The use of Operational Language, wherein each sequential action whether physical, rational, or logical, is subjectively testable, does nothing to reorganize collections of constant relations (concepts), and the paradigms upon which those prior and new associations depend by the same means of cumulative associations. Instead (some individual, some people, some group) will always attempt to defend the newly falsified, confirmed, revised topic so that it remains unchanged, and instead, (whomever) will seek to preserve (whomever’s) investment in existing paradigms (constant relations, theories, narratives), by finding and fitting a new set of constant relations, and name them, into his previous paradigms, rather than reform his paradigms. This is because (some reason or other) people do not want to learn but preserve their paradigms regardless of how completely they are falsified. The reason is that for some reason, some percentage of the population seeks the psychological comfort of some paradigm over the more parsimonious (truthful) paradigm.”

    Well, you just described the reason for choosing not to learn because of the addiction to faith, or not learning because of addiction to some other means of preserving psychological self image or social status or pretense of sexual, social, economic, political, military market value, that is counter to competitive reality. When under all but physically developmental illnesses, cognitive behavioral therapy under care can correct every known one of them.

    I also agree that this is the definition of mental illness.

    And I also agree this is the dominant position of the excessively empathic (feminine) mind when in a condition of vulnerability.)

    Some of us are better at it (pattern recognition, systematizing) and others need hand holding (narrative). Both required.

    @DegenRolf There is nothing in psychology, sociology, ethics, politics, or group strategy that is not readily expressible in economic terms – emotions and intuitions are nothing more than evolution providing us with information on how to acquire some sort of resource discounting our costs.
