Refining Experiential Math

Counting and discounting,
multiplying and dividing,
nutritional seed (capital) diverse re-investment guilds
to solve problems of cooperative wealth values
and dissonant pathological disvalues.
The bicameral geo-mathematician’s bilateral dilemma:
To get from 0 to 1, (nomial stasis)
one must also get from 0 to 2, (binomial diastasis)
and perhaps best back again,
to simultaneously resolve,
yet never consecutively linear-sequence
in real natural-spiritual equivalent spacetime 4-prime dimensions
of Special Case InFormational Dynamics,
to 1 median, septic and dipolar,
with 0 before and 2 implied after,

or, co-arising nondually,

Tragic Climates for Comedians
If we invested more educational mentoring time
sharing our own mixed-use and neglectful abuse
poetic wisdom stories,
and less time memorizing exegetical LeftBrain histories,
we might more cooperatively learn to live healthier together
and to internally die less, apart.
An under-exploited difference between comedy and tragedy
may discover you have a story to vulnerably share
more than recover from some dogma you compulsively need
to competitively seed and repeat,
because you are so sure your audience
is too dim to fully appreciate
your authentic story
vulnerably glory and gory shared.
Humus is a profound icon of eco-creolization
toward the regenerative fertility of soils
Just as humor is a surprising ergodic pattern of ego-re-creolization
toward cooperative extension of polypathy,
ecopolitical empathy,
universal trust more than reductively dominant mistrust.
It seems climatically important,
and chronically profound,
for educators and politicians
and other public/private health v pathology professionals
to notice the primary audience for poetry is poets,
for philosophy, is other philosophers,
for math, is other mathematicians,
for scientific specialists, other co-branded specialists,
yet for cooperative economics, everyone
of all species
and all regenerations of time’s health-wealth potential.
This feels like both an EarthDay risk
and a post-millennial therapeutic climate opportunity.
Poetry and philosophy are written,
and most broadly distributed,
produced,
networked,
cooperatively-reinvested,
with other non-elite poetic and philosophical souls in mind,
some with poetic and wisdom-loving skill-sets themselves,
and some who have only hungry unfulfilled cooperative-yearning souls.
Many of these hungry,
more chronically stressed,
RightBrain dominantly represeed,
casualties,
are among our homeless,
our uncounted unemployed and under-vocationed,
our brothers and sisters,
our children,
with more mental pathologies
than mental health.
How could we hope to teach,
much less co-mentor,
co-redeem,
healthy and wealthy science and math,
much more reading and multiculturally honest writing,
by removing their historical roots
in poetry and philosophical experience
and multicultural (0)-sum health-wealth
emerging from optimally regenerative WinWin ego/ecotherapies?
It feels ecopolitically
and intellectually dishonest
to further subsidize the distopian assumption of Might Makes Right
EitherWin/OrLose evolutionary theories
when Earth’s multicultural evidence
for Right (0)-Sum BiLateral Flow Relationship
building co-invested nutritional wealth
evolves and revolves so regeneratively redundant
and reiterative
and abundantly obvious BothLeft/AndRight.
Our tragedy is not just that patriarchal competition culture
is currently overpopulating the FirstWorld supremacist face of Earth,
although that is a profound climate health issue,
Climates of struggling health
and humanely unfulfilled landscapes of potential wealth
are even more seminally rooted
in LeftBrain cultural dominance
currently in last historical gasp
of over-populating each of our capitalist monoculturing days
to the point of extinguishing therapeutic values of more cooperative nights
and reproductive rights,
with or without full moons,
but under a sea of stars
now fading from view
and multicultural reweaving memory.
If we invested more time
sharing our own mixed-use wisdom stories,
and less time memorizing LeftBrain pathologies,
we might more cooperatively learn to live healthier,
with good humor, together
and to internally die less tragically, apart.
Red Sky Dawning
We already can notice
dawn unfolds a warm greeting,
a liturgical invocation,
not just because that’s the way our Earth revolves
around that Other,
too hot and terror-powerful burning Sun,
and not just because we feel this way inside
our polypathic minds,
but because of both
deductive-inductive
exterior-interior
yang-yin bilaterally interdependent
creolizing languaged reasons
of Self with Other
nondual co-arising Earth’s double-binding humane-divine acclimation,
natural-spiritual binomial balancing
cooperative
organic
dynamic
revolutionary ego/ecologically systemic
EarthMind Nature.
EarthDay Planning v Praying
Prayer’s positive potential is not as substitute for planning.
Prayer might be a prelude to planning,
and might be an appropriate postlude
to fully implemented plans,
whether psalm of gratitude
or requiem of remorse
depending on healthy and pathological outcomes.
Even better,
some gratitude and humble remorse,
held together,
demonstrating we have learned something
from our nondual co-arising trial and error
and yet continue improving
our further therapeutic refinements.
But, whether my life plans are what happened
while Earth continuously revolved in other distressing directions,
or I continue learning to plan somewhat more cooperatively
and multiculturally
and inductively and deductively co-arising
togetherly more than separately,
prayer is the active planner’s co-redemptive bookend,
Alpha and Omega double-binding points of reorientation,
not my personal How to Save the World book,
much less exegetically seminal scripture.
Prayer is my bread and liturgical garnish,
but not the red meat
of ego/ecologically balanced regenerative planning.
PolyCulturing Education
Polypathic conversation with David Holmgren:
Today it is common to hear the suggestion
[cooperative] education and [therapeutic] training
is the [mindful] key to allowing people to contribute
to a more sustainable [ecopolitical] future.
Although I recognize the value of formal education and training
and [especially cooperatively-owned and managed] communications media,
they are also part of the [competitively commodified] problem
[and therefore also keys to more resonantly cooperative resolutions]
preventing [LeftBrain dominant] us from a more direct [RightBrain-inductive] connection with,
and [bilateral] experience of,
the natural[-spiritual co-arising] world
through [inductive/deductive bilateral] observation
and [bicamerally balancing] experience
[and work/play of curiosity/imagination].
Much could be said about how we need to modify formal education
and the [competitively capital-hungry] media
so they can contribute better to the [humane-sublime
polypathic
multiculturing
creolic] revolution,
but we need to recognize several fundamental
[Leftbrain dominant enculturation] problems.
First,
almost all education,
and especially higher [yet not necessarily deeper] education,
is [redacted] knowledge from secondary [audio-visual] sources,
interpreted through [competing specialist] frameworks
of [limited inter-relational] understanding.
Academic [exegetical LeftBrain dominant] training
that requires every idea and concept be referenced to refereed published [exegetical LeftBrain dominant] sources
is the extremity of this [conserving rather than transitioning] approach
to [reiterative monoculturing memorization
of what once was normatively true
and necessarily so,
yet perhaps not optimally or even sufficiently true
for all times and spaces and complex systems
and so yet hypothetically false,
BothAnd recreatively tensioned with EitherOr.]
Second,
information technology has accelerated the speed of circulation,
retrieval
and reproduction [rights] of [nutritional/toxic] information.
The [commercial] professional packaging
of [LeftBrain reductive] secondary experience
in [massively cooperatively networked] media
promises faster and better ways
to [LeftBrain access others’] learn[ing].
For instance,
in comparison to the wildlife [ecological healthy/toxic] observation skills
and original [6-sensory-neural
(sight, sound, hearing, smell, touch, internal positive/negative feeling nutritional spectrum)
bicamerally polypathic ecosystemic]
thinking.
Third,
almost all formal scientific education is based on bottom-up reductionist [STRUGGLING EITHER/OR AGAINST
top-down bilateral deductivist/inductivist BothAnd] thinking
[screening out cognitive-affective dissonance,
negative unresolved non-resonant psychology].
While the [cooperative multi]cultural harvest from specialized reductionist thinking over the last few hundred years
has been great
[and continues to accelerate],
it is the [cooperatively self-organizing] integration
and [creolizing] cross-fertilization of [regenerative Yang-cause] concepts
and
[Yin-nurturing/caustic BothAnd
bilateral-dialectal
matriarchal implicated affect] ideas
that is now providing the most fruitful results
for dealing with the [Yang/Yin eco]systemic [landscape/climate] problems
of the [regenerative-less/degenerative-more] environmental crisis.
Much of this [positive co-relational co-arising] integrated [comprehension]
is happening outside [formal] educational
[pathology-oriented, continuing competing-issues committed] institutions
[with highly competitive ecopolitical survival issues,
including chronic capital reinvestment].
Ironically,
information and communications technologies
are increasing these [cooperative paid-forward, co-redemptive] possibilities,
although this benefit is over [LeftBrain dominant] content,
and [redundantly tedious] replication over [re]creation;
[degenerative reiterative feedback loops
rather than cooperative self-governing
regenerative double-binding
ego/eco-conscious loops].
Fourth,
and most problematic of all,
formal education at the higher [yet not deeper] levels
is focused on digesting massive amounts of information
within the [slow-growth evolving creolizing] constructs
of separate [and alarmingly unequal] disciplines
and cultures
(such as [Left-Yang, EitherOr] science
and [Right-Yin, BothAnd] art
[nurturing octave flow-fractal regenerative functions,
like 4Base fractal/crystal group/game math,
and 4Season phylogenic reproductive rights and wrong]).
This education lacks wholistic [therapeutic] integration
with [health-wealth ecopolitically oriented] living experience
and its insights and truths often make little [shallow] impression
on the underlying [Right-YinFlow nurturing-absorbing-resonant] structures
of [comprehensive] understanding
and [internally felt committed] belief [as co-empathic trust]
created by [LeftBrain might makes right] family [conservative-supremacist] upbringing,
mass [consuming dominating producer] media
and popular [nationalized ecopolitical WinLose competition] culture.
In many fields
we find the [global glory] solutions
to [ecological within and without] problems
are known [and felt]
but are not [regeneratively] applied
for a myriad of specific [LeftBrain constipated cul-de-sac] reasons.
The core of these problems is [competing mutually mis-communicating and therefore gradually degenerating exegetical-monoculturing belief systems]
which people appear to [conserve to defensively] hold
have not been [creolic EitherOr-evolution/BothAnd-revolution] integrated with
and [regeneratively-therapeutically-cooperatively] reinforced
by their [Left-Right bicameral polypathic
ecologically ecopolitical] personal experience
[of regenerative health and competitively degenerative pathologies].
Note: Transliteration of David Holmgren’s “Permaculture Principles & Pathways”, p. 20; adding in seasonings from Edward DeBono’s bilateral thinking and Buckminster Fuller’s synergy systems theory, and, of course, layering LaoTse generally across Yang-Yin as Left-Right creative bilaterally cooperative nondual dipolar appositionality.
Polycultural Education as if multiculturing double-bound Earth lives and deaths WinWin CoOperatively matter for health-wealth optimizing outcomes.
Syria Reconstructed
It is in our fragile, nearly broken, exposure
that we are most available for love
and remedial gratitude,
rather than the louder applause
of our full-blown ballistic glory.
While exercising restrained patience breeds tolerance,
giving pregnant reign to co-empathy compels timeless flow
of organic eternity.
Empathy grows fragile compassionate pause,
easily broken by impatient overexposure
to loud adulation,
or even more necessary restrained,
sufficiently polite,
applause.
I have never been to Syria
but I remember it used to be a great place
for healthy wealth.
High quality of co-regenerative life.
Deep, robustly multicultural
and cooperative commercial root systems.
All their neighbors either preferred to just be left alone,
Plan A,
or to become a creolic part of Syria,
Plan B
if peacefully possible,
rather than other empire building prospects
and militarized capital-pirating offers,
like from Rome, for example.
Syrian culture was more intentionally creolic,
absorbing,
deep-resonant layered,
looking for WinWin resolutions,
while Rome was more competitively
“all roads and revenues shall lead to home,
which is Rome”,
more WinLose devolution,
when you are on the not-so-neighborly end
of the military capital-sucking stick,
sometimes the last ecopolitical straw.
I was thinking about this
as I listened to the restrained applause
for the recent WhiteHouse “beautiful bomb” response
to Assad’s prior release of chemical bombs.
WhiteHouse military-industrial incorporated intent
apparently was aimed at weapons
inconveniently provided by Russia,
more than the Syrian weapon-holders themselves.
At the same time,
the all-wise ecopolitical policy gurus
remind us this is a LoseLose necessary investment response
but not sufficient for a longterm plan
with capacity for positive regenerativity.
I mean,
what would that look like?
I shoot your guns
until they are gone.
Then what would we do with all our military toys?
Perhaps we could begin deploying them upon each other
here in the U.S.,
after all the humans,
and other favored critters,
are removed from firing range.
But this seems like an expensive and taxing habit
and one that domestic neighbors of military installations
would probably find detrimental to real estate values
and quality of life,
like being able to sleep at night
without worrying the Army is planning to demolish
the Navy’s nuclear submarine parked in the river
just behind my backyard.
No, the pundits are right,
we also need a WinWin plan.
If I were a Syrian counter-revolutionary,
or the mother of a young Syrian terrorist,
I think I would invest in planting edibles,
especially trees,
to reverse desertification,
played-out soil,
currently reduced to more of a ballistic mine field,
improving purity and flow of water supply
for the long climate therapeutic haul,
and keeping Syrian air clear of toxic nastiness
like bullets and bombs,
sundry ballistics.
These are very hard on trees
and other organic reproductive rights.
Now I can already hear you thinking,
“He sounds like more of a feminist carpenter
who only has a tree planting hammer,
so all problems look like nails
rather than international cooperative opportunities
to play WinWin policy designer.
But, in defense of the carpenter
with a limited one tool arsenal,
this carpenter could be somebody’s mother
who also has a shovel
and a thing for WinWin long term regenerative interior landscapes
and exterior climate ecotherapies.
Moms remember
that WinWin Mother’s Milk
is more cooperatively primal
than competitive ballistic WinLose;
EitherMilitary/OrWhat? OrganicReMediation?
We have both tools,
hunting with WinLose guns
and gathering then planting WinWin embryonic seeds
of healthy ecosystemic wealth.
So, if our Trump card
has to be fight guns with guns
on one politely applauding hand,
necessary, but not regeneratively sufficient,
unless we really do choose to act more like ancient Patriarchal Rome
than ancient Matriarchal Syria,
then why not also share our shovels and seeds,
our Bodhisattva CoMessianic Matriarchal PeaceBuilders,
and our restrained Patriarchal WarMakers?
It is in our fragile, nearly broken, matriarchal exposure
that we are most available for love
and remedial WinWin gratitude,
rather than the louder patriarchal applause of history
for our full-blownout ballistic glory.

Bucky and Julian
Buckminster Fuller and Julian Jaynes
recently reviewed their cultural and scientific influence
on health and well-being,
ecological and economic positive outcomes,
during the current CoOperativist NonDual Transitional Era.
Bucky:
I wish I had spent more time speaking as a Unitarian Positive Teleologist.
Perhaps that would have taken care of the overly recessive trends in cultural awareness
of what,
in retrospect,
was exhaustively published
but not really read or comprehended fully;
undervalued and ignorantly ignored:
1. “Synergy,”
everything I ever published about the topic of “synergy,”
is spiritually and intuitively defined as love,
in Western cultures,
and naturally and organically defined as compassionate mindfulness
in Eastern traditions.
2. The encoded regenerative fractal structure of Physical Universal Intelligence
follows DNA/RNA thermodynamic,
electromagnetic,
permacultural,
economic,
psychological and sociological and political,
and ecological Prime Yang/Yin Relationship balance;
and evolutionary dynamics are fractal-dipolar revolving
harmonic Convex-Exterior-Yang OVER Concave-Interior-Yin
(0)-Core Vector Rooted octaves
with branching tree structures.
And,
if I had run into Lin Yutang and Taoism before I published,
I think I would have connected Yang metaphysical principles with Convex-Exterior physical principles,
and Yin metaphysics with Concave-humane natured Interior physical principles
of bicameral-cooperative flow
double-binding both LeftYang/andRightYin consciousness.
Julian:
Yes,
I can see that same sense of ethological and ecological and teleological dynamic
and emergent awareness in the Left-brain’s evolution
out from RNA regenerative temporal RightBrain affective-aptic memory.
My neural theory of bicameral older-right v. linguistic-deductive organized left information processing,
cultural,
and historical development,
seems to support your equivalency between “synergy” and “love-confluent consciousness,”
and positive psychological ecopolitics as rooted in co-empathic trust,
as well as Gregori Perelman’s cooperative bilateral work,
and William Thurston’s too,
in Group Theory,
and I wonder if there isn’t something in there that pertains to the ecologistics
and statistical/strategic trend predictions
of Cooperative Game Theory,
using reverse-hierarchy Win-Win assumptions.
You know,
so no one id-entity can optimally win
until the weakest link in our chain of interdependence
achieves equivalent nutritional outcome-balancing values?
Bucky:
Absolutely.
Synergy and love retain universal multiculturing integrity,
balance,
harmony between Left-languaged deductive memory
and Right-proportional inductive experiential conscience codex
of positive v. negative feeling and personal awareness,
like what Polanyi calls “Personal Knowledge.”
Julian:
So synergy and love and confluence are neurally appositionally responsive to messages
that do not cause cognitive dissonance,
disease,
dismay,
lack of equivalent symmetric balance and energetic harmony.
Compassionate bicameral mindfulness becomes ego/eco-comprehension
optimized through balancing Left-brained Yang
and Right-brained Yin
ego/eco functions.
Bucky:
Yes, I wish the Clay Math Challenge folks would have realized that Synergetics is really all about the Polynomial v. Not-Polynomial information
lack of bicameral integrity v. notnot binomial entropy problem,
just as Thomas Kuhn’s work
in deductive cultural creolizing revolutions
became troubled with the Problem of Incommensurability.
If +Polynomial information
does not equal rational and sustainable Universal Optimized Intelligence,
then positive does notnot equal a double-binding negative.
(-)(-)Reverse-Polynomial Right-brain DNA/RNA regenerative syntax
evolves eco-systemic Prime Relationship balancing trends.
Yet when disrupted,
discontinuous competitive degenerative closed-set system devolutionary assumptions
become ecopolitically normed.
These ego-eco competing norms cause cultural over-grazing
polynomial-population depression,
autistic trend development in populations that feel over-crowded
and competitively over-Yanged as under-Yin nourished,
anxious,
post-millennial dismay,
too abundant
climate change as self-correction urgency,
sense of bicameral polypathic/notnot polynomial dissonating crisis.
Julian:
You want to bet on how long it takes the scientific
and religious
and competing public sectors
to recognize
that binary/bilateral information systems
translate Both/And CoOperative +/-(0)-Core QBits
of formfractal-strength and octave-flow function
as humane natural comprehensive GroupFour Bayesian ecosystems
transliterate binomial Yang+P 4D SpaceTime Exterior Landscape = (-)(-)P-YinYin
ReversePolynomial DualDark DoubleBind Time Interior BiLateral Landscape?
Bucky:
Well, sure.
But I always bet on Here-Yang = Now-Yin,
to cooperatively optimize Universal Intelligence
as bicameral multicultural comprehension.
Julian:
Yes, and you are also the Plan B guy
who understood Universal RightBrain SuperEco = Panentheistic God/dess
= Mutual Messianic Interdependent Speciation and Evolution,
but those Transition Generation permaculturing bicameral brains
almost inevitably ask,
“Bucky who?”
and what is a Julian Jaynes?
Isn’t that some kind of an orange drink?
Bucky:
That is so notnot Both/And

polypathically true!
EarthDay CoOperative
It’s hard to say where and when our town’s People of Faith Cooperative started.
After all,
we have all,
and are still,
emerging people of TaoGod,
right?
Our faith includes defining our still humanizing species
as among those not capable of autonomously regenerating ourselves
into our divine health functions,
or even our more pathological dysfunctions
as a People of Multiculturing Faith.
Even Saint Peter, who was probably no one’s idea of a writer and actor
and co-redeemer
who identified himself as one of the common folk,
and most certainly not in a position to be remembering
TaoGod’s grace somehow includes enslaved women,
Even Elitist Patriarch Peter
cooperatively committed to
“Those formerly enslaved
and raped
and owned
and rented at the will of their owners
with approximate value of the food they eat,
water they drink,
air they breathe,
kids they breed
to become chronically repressed,
not even recognized as a fully human Tribe,
are now the cooperatively creolizing women and men,
including all God’s “Bless His Heart” liberties
and proclivities
and frivolities,
and robust, resonant thriving cooperativities,
bound only by our Golden Rule
as the becoming people of regenerative/degenerative TaoGod.
Well, OK, so I threw in a little extra stardust
that St. Peter didn’t explicitly say,
but would it be fake news that these transliterations
may be implied?
And further economized,
quite ecologically,
and cooperatively WinWin Game Theoretic robust,
as always pay Yes forward
unless you have LeftBrain historical proof
that this Other,
also of TaoGod/dess Earth,
defines cooperatively active love
as more for autonomous Ego Identities,
than for Cooperative RightBrain HolySpirit-EcoFlow Optimization,
WinLeft/WinRight Cooperative
(0)-sum Ecologically Reiterative-Dialectal Economics.
Anyway,
another way to begin this energetic cooperative story
was when I decided
not only could I not afford
to not put a solar panel system on my house,
but my neighbors and my town also could not afford
for me to continue consuming from 88% nonrenewable fuel-produced electricity,
when I could switch to producing 100% radiant solar-rooted electricity
for my family,
and a surplus to flow back
to our town’s cooperatively owned grid.
Or, you know,
something like that.
So, if I could do this,
only pay for about half of the system myself
(so, about $10,000,
while relying on the generosity of our combined tax revenues
for the other nearly half)
and also get a 0-interest loan,
with a 10 year repayment calendar,
and in return eliminate my electric bill
and my water bill,
because water and gas and sewer service, like electricity
are owned by my town’s cooperative utility corporation,
then why wouldn’t everyone,
especially TaoGod’s no longer enslaved
and owned and rented people
having chronic issues
with affording to stay in regenerative homes,
with potential capacity to produce solar-cycled electricity,
and, if oversized,
but not overpriced,
also have a cooperatively intended interest
in collecting less bills
they cannot afford to pay.
So, the originators of our town’s People of Faith Cooperative
began with those “Bless Their Heart” properties
defining why our Utility Cooperative
was budgeting over 2 million dollars
in bad debt
each year.
And, as you might suspect,
the large majority of this incapacity to produce cash
came from a handful of repeat offenders.
And, many of our People of Creolizing Faith Cooperative originators
just happened to live in some of these under-performing properties,
or had,
or knew somebody who did.
For every owner of these problem child properties
who installed a solar,
and then, later on, solar and wind-turbine system,
the Coop received $200.
$100 of which went back to the coop member
who brought this deal to contract,
to buy groceries
or maybe a cell phone
allowing internet access
through their cooperative membership.
So everybody’s happy.
The Utility Cooperative is decreasing bad debt trends
and increasing clean energy percentages
and increasing indigenous production percentages,
so we can trend toward becoming a producer town,
that is a NewEngland positive extra energy town
more than a degenerative negative-loss consumer.
We further suspect and actively hope,
that as the towns around us follow suit,
not just trump,
then this cooperative of clean energy producers
will help NewEngland become a net clean energy producer,
and so on.
Sort of like thinking global systemically,
but also local economically,
including personally,
and then acting cooperatively
from ego-center within toward eco-centering without,
from YinRight toward YangLeft
nondually co-arising our People of MultiCulturing Cooperative.
Also a winner on this growing list,
People of Faith now also harvest humanure,
modeled on soil therapy programs
already well-established in Japan,
which allows us to plant and care for
a growing urban forest
of fruit and nut and fig trees,
and berry bushes (no thorns, kid and family friendly)
and various beds of rhubarb and asparagus
and perennial onions,
and so on,
including strawberry fields forever,
which these same People of Faith
forage and graze on
as they wander around downtown,
now partially closed to auto traffic,
facilitated by the cooperative bike-share project,
which was funded through profits
from the Cooperative’s recycling solar panel industry
and solar-wind hybrid installation services.
And, the town government gets 10% of net
from the Utility Cooperative,
so that has gone up a bit,
as bad debt goes down,
and now we can afford to pay cooperative producers
of electricity at almost our retail rate,
so the People of Faith Cooperative
has been saving some of this income
to help cooperative members
buy the solar-heated buildings
they have been renting,
as cooperative landlords and ladies age
and decide to move elsewhere,
although the list of reasons for relocation
continue to fade away
as we slow down
to smell our well-composted forest
we have cooperatively become.
