C-243. Operating in multiple spacetimes
B-speak (“ordinary language”) accommodates our operating in the two B-ness spacetimes of N-Dimensionality and 4-D simultaneously, the former to represent body conditions (e.g., properties) and the latter to represent body-body conditions (e.g., relationships).
B-speak accomplishes this in several ways. The distinction between intransitive and transitive verbs is one. Adding a preposition to the intransitive (“verb particle”) is another. Adding a preposition to the noun (“noun particle”) would be a parallel effort (e.g., so as to distinguish “freedom of” from “freedom to”).
B-speak enables us to operate in the two B-spacetimes while in one place (i.e., the “B-universe”). However, we are AT, ON the Frontier, once we focus attention on the Expansion’s here and now. And in two universes: the one of bodies and the other of steps. So why not operate in three spacetimes, adding R-spacetime for the steps we make and take in the S-universe … if we can develop the technologies (e.g., R-words) for doing it? Extending the human experience to embrace the point of view and perspective of the Expansion and the S-universe would help us amount to more.
Something simpler and less confused than B-speak’s concepts and linguistic add-ons. Something less mind-bound than B-ness perspectives … overly concerned with keeping the actor’s point of view out of the picture. Something perhaps like a “mettle cockpit,” a simulation-type technology for operating system development, attacking the Nature of Things’ behavioral problem, in which the “controls” for “flying” are mettles (i.e., needed functionalities) and R-words.
Our technology is too much muscle, too little mettle. Because our behaviors are too much mettle ore and not enough mettle. Because our technology is too much tool and not enough procedure. Operating in the B-universe as if there were no Expansion: indifference* – sometimes studied indifference (e.g., the “other side of the ‘faith’ coin”) despite the Expansion’s principle of differentiation… and as if there were no S-universe: no opportunity to come to a stop for a new next step. Neglecting Expansion and S-universe phenomena and principles.

* See, for example, the so-called “independents” on the political spectrum. How many are credulous decision makers with little attention to civic problem solving? How many have adopted apolitical faiths (e.g., neither liberal or conservative, neither Republican or Democrat)?
