Chris Lofting:
Try this:
im/mm (A/~A) level 1
im+im : im+mm : mm+im : mm+mm level 2
the middle two are 'emergent' from applying the level 1 dichotomy
recursively. What do they mean though? im+im manifest a pure concept as does
mm+mm; they capture the concept of 'what'. im+mm and mm+im manifest
relationships and so distinctions of 'this' from 'that' and so we see the
influence of 'where'.
Underneath these distinctions, for each element in the dichotomy, is a
pattern of basic meaning such that im+im are seen as 'things' and thus
objects and whole ones -- they are 'pure'.
im+mm manifest the entanglement of A and ~A, manifests object in a
relationship, aka 'part' where the word projects this entanglement (the word
is an example of a superposition in that the waveform for whole is combined
with the waveform for relationship. In the mm+im the context is mm whereas
in mm+im the context is mm. These contexts create biases in expression.)
James McComb:
Ummmm....
I find this somewhat less than intelligible.
