everything a metaphor

[Prof David West]

I had sent this with the Perez article attached, but it exceeded a limit, so I was saved from my indiscretion of copying the article and posting as pdf.  Hopefully some of you will follow the link and have comments, but if not I will try a different tack to get the substance of the article across.

******

Carlos Perez posted a very nice synopsis/summary of "triadic thinking on medium:

https://medium.com/intuitionmachine/analogies-the-triadic-method-and-the-core-of-thinking-4b933793f039

Because I would like to have his ideas/posting discussed on friam and medium establishes a soft paywall, I have attached a pdf of the post — but I will be royally pissed if my indiscretion percolates beyond FRIAM in any way.

i would like to fold in Nick's claim that it is, "processes all the way down" which I agree with wholeheartedly (very Buddhist BTW) but have seldom seen any evidence that it is taken seriously; especially in the realm of conversations about 'truth', 'lies', and the incessant use of the verb 'to be'.

Hopefully, some will take the bait.

Attached are most of the words from the article. Some pictures and diagrams make it worthwhile to actually go to Medium.
