Identity Transparency
"If single-valued property is theft (of the multivalue at the root of the quantum), then law is criminal (the most heinous crime of destroying the inherent potential for autopoiesis -- of which the quantum theory so elegantly informs those not fraught with fear). Though the physicists haven't properly learned this, the rule of supposed externally prescriptive natural law not only went down the drain and evaporated at the bottom of the blackhole, but was replaced by internal necessity in the quantum of action."Tadao was in rapt attention to the speech.
"Whence cometh the 'internal necessity'?" continued Derek's monologue. "It comes because the actors are not absolutely distinct; the conventions arise out of the relative-state of the corpus, the quantum potential of the system (which is not a probability density). The 'internal necessity' of the part is the need of the whole, because the two are not absolutely distinct."
"Schicksal," Ilse uttered, primarily to herself.
"The state of relative relations manifests as the prevailing regime of gradients governing the action: the internally arising rule conventions. This correspondence between part and whole, this smearing of distinctions, is the result of multivaluedness, not probability. On the multivalued reference space, the part is absolutely-in-so-far-as-indistinguishable from the whole. There is part-whole transparency. This transparency is the ultimate source of self-organization in any corpus whatsoever. . . Of course, there are a multitude of ways to destroy the self-organizing potential of any given social or political corpus -- one of the most potent of which is to force absolute distinctness in self-identity on its members. But we -- at least those of us in the West -- are so habituated to the enculturated concept of absolute distinctness, that the very idea of part-whole consonance is, almost by definition, impossible. It's in the nature of things, we are told, and told, and told, and told. Blah! I could puke in their faces, I am so sick of hearing it."
"Buddhist economics," Ilse said, pulling pensively at one earlobe.
"How so?" asked Derek.
"Jijimuge. You just gave a tolerably good definition of the Kegon sect's concept of the interfused state of part and whole."
"I didn't know you were into Buddhist metaphysics."
"Could I live for almost a decade five blocks from the extraordinary library facilities at Daitokuji temple without learning something about Buddhism?"
