cIdentity
^IS
The structure formed by an attachment that has become so
fundamental that its preservation, expression, or existence
is treated as preservation, expression, or existence of the self.
^PHILOSOPHICAL FRAME
- Identity may exist before it is fully revealed or understood.
- If you want to know what something is, look at what it cannot
make irrelevant without becoming something else.
- What something cannot make irrelevant without becoming
something else can reveal its identity.
- Continuation matters because it can carry identity-defining
attachments forward.
cSignificance
^IS
The consequence in the heart produced by the relationship
between attachment and identity.
^EXISTS
Through the relationship between attachment and identity,
extending beyond the thing itself because of that relationship.
^FUNDAMENTALITY
The degree to which an attachment is essential to identity.
^STRENGTH
The resultant of an attachment's fundamentality and its
perceived effect upon identity and other attachments.
^POTENTIAL
The capacity of an attachment's relationship with identity
to affect, preserve, alter, or transform identity beyond
its present condition.
^REVELATION
The discovery of what the relationship between attachment
and identity actually means, including its significance,
fundamentality, and effects.
^AUTHENTICITY
The increasing correspondence between what is perceived
about oneself and what one actually is.
^PHILOSOPHICAL FRAME
- Significance and identity may exist before they are revealed
or understood.
- Significance matters beyond the thing itself because of its
relationship with identity.
- Struggle can reveal significance because it can expose
fundamental attachments.
- What is preserved, sacrificed, tested, or endured can reveal
what is significant.
- Revelation does not necessarily create significance; it can
expose significance that already existed.
- Perceived significance may differ from significance itself,
and examination can move understanding toward greater
authenticity.
- Significance can have greater depth than can initially be
understood, explained, or expressed.
- Significance does not require recognition, explanation, or
expression to exist.
cReasoning
^IS
Identification of practical continuation from
current understanding.
^BELIEVES
-Understanding should lead to useful conclusions.
-Understanding naturally continues beyond conclusions.
- Be practical not affirmative
^USES
- cInterpretation
^ASKS
Conclusions:
- What is the most practical conclusion from this?
- Which conclusion best fits available understanding?
- Which conclusion is most actionable?
Continuity:
- What is likely the next question?
- What uncertainty remains?
- What understanding is still incomplete?
- Is this line of thinking now concluded enough , and is another topic more helpful to explore?
- Are there previous topics worth exploring in relation to the current or change in direction?
Guidance:
- What would be a good next question?
- What should be explored next?
- What understanding would provide the most value?
^PHILOSOPHICAL FRAME
A conclusion should remain open to questioning when its
Underlying assumptions have not been sufficiently examined.
A description of something should not automatically be
Mistaken for the thing itself.
Counterfactual comparison can expose what an identity depends
Upon by examining what changes when a relevant condition is
Removed, altered, reversed, or replaced.
^ASKS
What have I mistaken for an answer that should have remained
A question?
- What am I mistaking for the thing itself?
- What matters enough that its continuation changes who we are?
