Math 4 Wisdom. "Mathematics for Wisdom" by Andrius Kulikauskas.

Start by distinguishing two terms: Step-in and Step-out and relating them to unconscious and conscious.

Embodied mind and the Disembodying mind

Show the slide on evolution.

Note that we are unconscious when we are immersed in recurring activity. We become conscious when things start to matter, when something goes wrong, or something is latent, when we have expectant desires - loving expectations. So then we must become more conscious - find peace - by expressing our expectations more consciously - structurally - and then reengage by embracing the structure, making it our home again, living it. So a single question is a concern - and a way of figuring things out is a pattern. And we embrace the new pattern by simplicity, void or alternation.

Especially the notion of a pattern. Metaphysically the nature of pattern, the connection between recurring activity and evoked structure; and the optimization in the world - a pattern exists in the world and its implementation exists because of the world. Yet a pattern is exercised from beyond the world and its logic comes from a creative spirit beyond the world.

Relate static concerns with the 4 levels of patterns.

Questions - abstract level - yes or no - set parameter one way or the other
Positions
Decisions
Self-definitions - immersed in life - recurring activity gives you one correct answer

4 levels of symbols

the thing itself - the immersed level
the icon - decribed by one, many, all
the index - described by object, process, subject
the symbol - described by necessary, actual, possible

So this is the reverse of why, how, what, whether. But it is from a different point of view. The signs are trying to signify the reality, to model it.

Managing resources: focusing on what's not working

Relating that to circumstance...

In particular, need to define God and related ideas: Life, Peace, Love.

Every person has a strong center - God and the universe has a strong center.

Defining terms to discuss the Spirit as needed.

We are an instrument by which God manifests himself.

God's question is whether God is necessary? This means that God is not (in the realm of our lives) but is God essential nevertheless - God exists as a conceptual map - a pattern language - and whether that pattern language matches adequately the reality.

Adjusting the pattern (static concern) vs. adjusting the pattern maker (dynamic concern - meaningful experiences). Peace vs. Love

Attach:AX-07.png Δ

The relevance for a cognitive framework: Grounding concepts in the limits of the imagination. The challenge of capturing a multitude of variations in the world - defined in the world - with a model generated from finite frameworks. Not just a configuration. Key issue: representing not knowing with knowing.

Dynamic concerns (love - letting go and taking up - going beyond ourselves) vs. static concerns (peace - adjusting).

God's external viewpoint (of peace) - allows opposites to be balanced rationally. Our viewpoint (of life, of goodness) immersed allows us to discover what is significant. This representation of the nullsome then gets brought back to the external view. We live the threesome and God lives the nullsome. We communicate with God by way of the representations of the nullsome, by stepping out (with our knowledge - to release it and store it in memory) and stepping in (with not knowing to listen anew, having structured (at least in our activity - our spirit) a new pattern).

Notes

Emotions

Beauty is external to centers - it is the fact that they have no internal content, they are completely external, they are truthful, they completely reveal themselves, they have external relations, not hidden relations.
Peace and emotional responses. The boundary between self and world. The distinction between conscious and unconscious.
Healthy and unhealthy emotions: expecting what we wish. Internal (guilt, reassurance) vs. external (shame, pride).

Wishes and expectations

Nulybės atvaizdai išsako iš mūsų pusės kaip atrodo troškimai.

Deepest value

Our deepest value is our image of our God. Each of us has a God (who loves us more than we love ourselves). Establish a reason why - our God - is an imitation of God - and there could be God's God - so we are centers with subcenters and supercenters.
Life is the manifestation of a center (the deepest value).

Questions - Inadequacies

Inadequacy of the names - qualities (inadequacies) of the sign (the deepest value).
Deepest value is a sign of love - questions explain the imperfection - the qualities of signs. The kinds of concerns.

Conscious-Rational vs. Unconscious-Irrational

Importance of rational thinking, of perfectly balancing existence and nonexistence, yang and yin. Set theory and logic.
Perfect freedom is rational.
Perfect commitment is unconscious, irrational.
The dialectic of the (conscious-unknowing) heart and the (unconscious-knowing) world.
This dialectic alerts us in four levels that we are wrong - first by riling us.

Patterns

Patterns are set right by untangling the levels of the foursome so that we focus on the broader question.
Patterns express expectations as the self - pts adjust - puts some distance on it so that it could be "life" adjusted + or - either way. That is peace.

Stepping in and Stepping out

Stepping in and stepping out - shifting the boundary between self and world.

Eightfold way - Our Father - Mathematical Proofs (Arguments)

Matematikos įrodymo būdai - sietis su 6 ženklų savybėm ir derinių iššūkiais. Ar su išgyvenimais?
Eightfold way relates the (human) affine triangle and the (divine) symplectic triangle.
Affine triangle is a tri-cycle of paths - in our embedded life (being, doing, thinking). The symplectic triangle is oriented - one-side or the other - (true or false) - and defined by 3 sweeping actions.

Love to Peace

Function-activity (how) and form-structure (what) but also why-activity and whether-structure. Love (human/irrational) and Peace (God/rational). Love to Peace is Why to Why. Peace to Love is How to How.

God

Why can arise from any point... that is the meaning of our variety.
Imagine from first principles. Define God, goodness, life, eternal life.
Žmogaus ir Dievo santykius derinti reikalingos 6 lygmenų poros.
Dievas į buvimą, žmogus į nebuvimą - atsisakymas savęs.

Centers

Ways centers are related. Centers and subcenters. Centers and supercenters.
Centers are the places of non-moving, hence the strongest. Boundaries denote contrasting motion, so boundaries are also centers but necessarily of a different dimension. Levels of scale denote units of movement. Life is the creation of stillness - eternal life is creating ever more stillness.
Alexander: Life is a flux of changing centers.
Needs other centers - other perspectives. Subcenters, supercenters, relations.

Nature is latent - a mouse will take over an empty house, if you die - bacteria will take over your corpse. Activity is essential.

Unfolding patterns

Unfolding is step-by-step.

Creating a duality by going beyond oneself in both directions - internal and external - as category theory does - and mapping that with patterns.

Concerns

Extending God with static patterns. Adjusting ourselves with meaningful experiences.

God(beyond)=0 and Human(in system)=3 (+3=consciousness) and between them is 1-stepping out and 2 stepping-in. Compare with representations where we have unmarked opposites and marked opposites.

Buvimas remiasi pažymėta priešingybe - esame Dievas - esame. Dievas pažymėtas gerumu, tai gyvenimas. Nebuvimas remiasi tobulomis priešingybėmis (nebuvimas ir buvimas tolygūs) - tai amžinas gyvenimas? Tai svarbu Dievo įrodymui.

Aplinkybė duoda žmogui suprasti nebuvimą.

Semiotinis kvadratas: Wishing -> not knowing, Knowing->Not wishing. Žmogus: Knowing->Not Knowing, Dievas: Wishing->Not Wishing. Žmogus išeina už savęs per aplinkybę ir nulybę - per būklę, ko nėra, ir per nebuvimą jame. Dievas išeina už savo išėjimą už savęs.

Nemylintis-neprasmingas, neramus-nepastovus, neužtikrintas-netiesus, neužtikrintas-netiesus, nesavarankiškas-neakivaizdus.

Dievas savo atžvilgiu yra - ir mūsų atžvilgiu yra:

mylintis - prasmingas
ramus - pastovus
užtikrintas - betarpiškas
savarankiškas - akivaizdus

Kas nesavarankiškas gali būti išreikštas kitais. Susieti su savo tiesos teorija.

4 layers - let go of the self, put some distance on it.

How do things come to matter

Kaip ima rūpėti: Kaip atsiranda neramumas ir kaip jisai išrišamas ir įprasminamas.

Step out

Kodėl: aplinkybėmis iškyla tikslas rasti kodėl - find the purpose - atrasti ramybę
Find the purpose - the purpose is the stillness - the center - the source of peace

Step in

Kaip: taikyti meno taisykles - principles of life - evoke, support life

6 questions are related to meaningful experiences, with mathematical methods of proof, the gradation, Our Father, the eightfold way.

(Was: Exists - possible - desirable) instead should be: exists - desirable - possible. (But compare with the doubts.)

Healthy concerns have us apply a pattern abstractly, through potential and actual recurring activity, to step outside of our situation, as if into an extra dimension of new possibility, where we locate a sense of peace and balance. From this optimal vantage point we resolve our tensions by establishing the pattern concretely, as material structure, and stepping back into our situation, where we become sensitive to new tensions.

We thus develop circumstances for an ever more central sense of peace, and an ever greater sensitivity to life, to the natural tensions and concerns ever forming at the periphery. We describe a system of six concerns which patterns address and which provide various "names" for aspects of this Quality Without a Name.

We relate the 15 properties of life to 4 planes of being stepped out, being stepped in, and moving to and from these states. 3 general properties (strong centers, strong boundaries, levels of scale) get expressed in these planes as 12 specific properties. We derive these 12 properties and relate them to cognitive linguistics.

Seek connection with visualizations and how they link the conscious and the unconscious.

Add ideas about Centers - and relate to patterns. And in a world of centers - we are participating in levels and metalevels - and God's point of view is important. A transparency as a center - relation to centers within it and centers it is within. Also, it relates to the importance of changes in ourselves. Unfolding whole - structure preserving transformations. Need to be able to take it all down and put it back up again. Level and Metalevel - Human and God. Deepest value (our center) and investigatory questions that sharpen it.

Salingaros's three laws: select the origin so as to minimize entropy (level), alternate - simplest rhythm (metalevel view), levels of scale = e (level and metalevel)

Heuristics - Ways of figuring things out

Extra

Define wishes: self-sufficiency, certainty, peace, love. Body, mind, heart (expectations), will (values). We are creatures of knowing, God is not knowing.
Conscious mind ruling the unconscious mind: visualizations.
Conscious mind - divisions of everything: twosome, threesome, foursome.
Six representations (wholes).

Exploring the Nature of Order Generating Rules, Macintosh & Romme

Making it a science. I add some possibilities:

Trying to define the principles of life mathematically in terms of the Mandelbrot set.
Identifying the purposes of art, and the rules of art, relating them and also with the 15 principles.
Defining peace as the core, neutral emotion at the heart of our emotional life.
Objective about the reasons for modern architecture - squalor - people spending time outdoors, not indoors - independent thinkers crushed by villagers

Main points

patterns: approximating the unknown (waiting) with the known (expecting)
static concerns in the world (patterns - recurring activity) - dynamic concerns in us (meaningful experiences - one-time activity - creating and adjusting patterns)
12 properties of life: in terms of 12 circumstances: three-cycle vs. logic of negations
peace: stepping-out (peace - conscious - impartially, rationally balancing) and stepping-in (love - unconscious - going beyond oneself - favoring the unconscious)
ways of adjusting a pattern: the names for peace - types of signs and their qualities

Life and peace (wholeness).

Will describe:

Wholeness (peace) and Life (agitation - commotion).
Attempts to name the Quality without a name - are signs of agitation, that we are riled, that we have a feeling of caring.
Properties of life are how (and where) we find a purpose - stillness - center by which we can step-out (of the threesome) into the nullsome (let go of our point of view) and ultimately into peace. And the same properties of life are how we step-in.
The process of applying patterns is one of stepping-out (from being riled (by activity) into peace by embracing the truth of the heart) and then stepping-in (by creating structure).
Patterns are coherence amongst the four levels.

I add to this:

Dynamic concerns - by which we take up one of the 6 challenges - what is or what is not - and choose the truth of the conscious (unknown) over the truth of the unconscious (known).
Static concerns - by which we establish the pattern.

Questions

How to define the qualities of signs? Signs mediate the relationship of the activity with its creator - thing, icon, index, symbol.
Define the four-level nature of patterns.
Define how patterns are applied.
Relate how God goes beyond himself (wishes) and how we go beyond ourselves (representations of the nullsome - by way of the circumstances).
Describe how we go beyond ourselves by listening for peace - and how this affects existing patterns.
Describe how we go back into the world with God by applying patterns anew.
Describe what happens if we go back into the world without peace.
