Innate
- Cause is defined as difference opened, and effect is defined as difference closed.
- These definitions describe events that are polymorphic and multi-behavioral. They are complex.This makes identifying either of them a little slippery. Assigning any cause to any effect is a problem. Innocent people go to jail, the perpetrators go free. Doctors misdiagnose illnesses, and the patient gets worse. Contracts are signed, and they are promptly broken. People work for one thing, and end up with another. I can't fix this on my own. All I can do is elucidate this model and, I hope, help others do so.
- Once we have predictable examples of Cause and predictable examples of effect, we can then proceed to bind them together. I have grappled with the confusing dialectics of describing all causes and all effects as no more than different perspectives of the same event. For example: If cause is an event then does it not need some prior cause or origin to account for it. How can any cause be spontaneous or devoid of origin? In a temporal universe this is impossible, if not insane. Time giving birth to time is magical thinking. Hence all cause must be an effect of some other cause. This is a paradox of the singularity as a unitary thing when motion is the descriptor. This is an accident of syntax (grammatical constructs) and our presumed need for complete thoughts. The most we can strive for at this point on our journey into genuine complexity is access to the on and off ramps of existence. The impossibility of stepping outside of ourselves should be a clue and a constraint.
- We need an encapsulation that is in common use, yet can be borrowed non toxically for this purpose. Some Cause and Effect relationships are quite direct, while others are less so. I have encapsulated the direct events of Cause and Effect events as The Innate condition. The definition then is: that which arises directly out of Cause bound directly to Effect. This is still Complex, so this encapsulation simply provides us with a context. Direct in the Context of the Model means "of a given trajectory".
- Consider a drop of water as it leaves the spout. The drop of water changes shape iteratively. It wiggles and waggles as it also begins iteratively relocating due to the "pull" of gravity. This is complex; the water drop is changing shape (polymorphic) and doing so in different ways (multi-behavioral). The Innate here is contextual. One Innate is the shape that results from the "pull" of gravity. While the shape change itself belongs to several different categories at the same time, the fact that it is changing at all is Innate.
- Another Innate is the size of the gap between the spout and the drop. While the size of the gap belongs to many other encapsulations at the same time, the fact that there is any sized gap at all is Innate. The drop is moving away from the spout.
- Another Innate resides in the context of seeing the drop fall. While seeing a drop fall belongs to a truly enormous array of encapsulations. One Innate is that light travels in a straight enough line to cover the distance from the water drop to our eyes. Another Innate here is placement. The fact that we can see the water drop at all is Innate to our being there looking at it.
- A key here is transliteration. Such an encapsulation, if true or an attribute of greater truth, should be applicable to all languages with no loss of value nor expression of toxicity to that language or the culture in which it is couched. A prime difficulty in our comprehending the model lies in our experiences. All will need shared experiences to share the encapsulation. Complexity as elucidated herein is about what gets done. Some children will comprehend earlier than others. Some children will need a deliberate guided experience while some will only need our attention to the opportunity.
- The individual must be paramount for the collective to become self evident.
