meta-levels

 1. objects - volumes with geometry
 2. subjects - objects with internal state - a state space
 3. capabilities - objects with a pile of internal state, a pile being composed of 3+ things at least one dependent on another - triangular state space?
 4. language - a mapping from internal to external state
 5. representations - a 1-1 mapping
 6. cognition - dependent representations, a pile of representations?, representation-capabilities?
 7. control - ??? feedback loop. changing the representation based on the derivative meta-representtanion (of its value or closeness to target)  - how the fuck is this different from cognition?!  it's two dimensional time.  cylindrical cognition
 8. design - all cases in a domain?

 1. part-object - relation of a person to a part of an object, or a part of an object to an object so a button to a fan, or fanblade to a f an, or person to a limb
 2. pairbond - relation between two complex systems, two minds
 3. subgroup - relation between THREE or more complex systems or minds or wholes
 4. stranger - WEAK interaction between one whole and one other whole in a bulk or mesh or network of wholes
 5. passive, - self-interactions of the bulk mesh or network, or interaction with the whole of the bulk
 6. assertive - self-interaction of one whole

What are meta-levels?

Let's ask some questions.

• can you use an object, a rock, to make a subject, a cat? no
• can you use any kind of object to make so much as a flower? no, you need a seed and that's a subject of masturbation jokes, the seed comes from subjects
• can you use a dead body (corpse, object) to make so much as a living body? yes! so long as you're Doctor Frankenstein and an accredited mad scientist, so one in a million
• can you use any kind of object to make any kind of subject at all? yes! through a lot of hard work and effort you can turn a rock into a sculpture

Now let's compare:

• can you use a gazelle to make lions? yes! any special requirements? nope!
• can you use people to make people? yes!
• can you use a dog to make cats? yes! just turn it into cat food
• can you use a cat to make rats? yes indeed you can!
• can you use rats to make cats? yes!
• can you use humans to make conversation pieces? yes! just unclothe them
• can you use ANY subject to make some object?
  • yes! you can make corpses from them!
  • you can make rubble from a sculpture!
  • you can turn an iron sculpture into slag!

object -> object is easy. subject -> subject is easy. subject -> object is trivial. object -> subject is fucking hard.

Let's move on!

• does a gazelle automatically know how to eat? no
• does a duck automatically know how to navigate south? no
• does a baby know automatically how to walk? no
• how many species automatically know how to do what they do? very few of the higher ones
• can you use a book of philosophy (a subject) in order to make someone study (a capability)? no
• can you use philosophy (the subject) to make someone philosophize? no, if you could philosophers would be a lot happier in life
• can you use a non-capable person to make a baby learn, or use a spoon, or eat? no
• can you use a capable person to make a baby learn, use a spoon, and eat? yes! patience and teaching are neither subjects nor objects, they're higher level

Let's move on!

• can you use speech (as in what babies and toddlers do) in order to speak Sumerian? not without a fucking lot of effort
• can you use gesticulation in order to speak a sign language? contrary to what tourists believe, hell no.
• can you use a computer mouse to use windows, menus, icons and pointers? no
• can you use Engrish in order to speak Sumerian? I speak it velly well tank you
• can you use language as an action or capability? yes! lie, perjure, marry, vow, swear

teaching a second language (language -> language) is easy. teaching a first language (capability -> language) is hard!

Let's move on!

• can you use language to instill knowledge? no you can't! it only APPEARS that you can if you're too much of an idiot to realize the people around you are idiots
• can you use language to represent a theory? yes! if you write a fucking long ass book.
• can you instill knowledge or theories in theoretically minded people? YES! it's very easy!
• can you use a theory to create a capability? YES, it's called a How To manual
• can you use a theory to create a subject? YES, drawing for dummies, and general relativity is a subject
• can you use a theory to create an object? yes! nuclear power plants

Let's move on

• can you use representation in order to create more representation? no, no one likes graffiti
• can you use representations (plural) in order to create more representations? yes, such are memes
• do memes qualify as cognition? yes! very technically
• really?! I mean TRUE cognition? no they don't! they are a Neutral form of cognition and Neutrals are mindless animals
• can you use a form of cognition, say deduction, to learn another form of cognition, say logic? yes! so long as they actually want to

Let's move on

• can you use cognition to control people? nope, that's some scifi mind control shit!

I'm looking at you kellivision, you want to use theories to control people and that's hard * hard = hard^2. good fucking luck because you'll fucking need it!

Every time you try will be like going from babies to language. Every person you meet will be an unthinking mindless infant saying gah gah and you going "the verb goes after the noun!"
