C-237.1 A problem with the puzzle
What if we thought we were fitting together the pieces of a very large puzzle … but quite a few pieces – some critical like corners and borders – seem to be missing … and there also seem to be a lot of pieces that look like they are not even from this puzzle?
Isn’t this pretty much what is happening because of risky B-ness … that we are acting as though there were no Expansion and no S-universe? And, crucially, acting without the guidance of principles from the Expansion and the S-universe. G.G. Simpson’s cautionary “All phenomena to which principles apply…” can be said to hold for all (kinds of) principles as well as for all phenomena.
Laws of the B-universe are a limited set of principles when it comes to our next step. Even if we knew them all. The Expansion and the S-universe have principles of their own … and the R-transform can take us where the rest of behavior and of behavioral principles are to be found.
We remarked earlier that we have been operating with a folded fan, confounding phenomena from the B- and S- universes. Now we see that it is also an unused fan, in that the Expansion has been ignored … at the cost, critically, of needed emergence process: CEM.
B-speak (ordinary language) doesn’t help either. It appears that the pieces from the (three) puzzles are not carefully cut nor are they well colored.
The problem of the Nature of Things demands a bigger picture than the puzzle posed by the things of nature. The actor’s operating system – If we grant that requisite capability to meet needed functionality – dictates a larger puzzle … a puzzle comprising the Expansion and the S-universe along with the B-universe.
Indeed, we would do well to afford the Expansion the courtesy bestowed for so long on the B-universe, that of being an actor – i.e., expanding. A principled actor. B-ness has not let us see all there is to be seen of behavior.
