A Shapely and Handsome Fable, chapter 5

If you want to think about something that is absolutely immovable, you need to go in your thought somewhere far from Earth, said Handsome.

Emphasized Shapely, about the True Being, you cannot talk as if it was on Earth, because perfect stasis is here unattainable. The planet spins and twirls.

The True Being is not a person. No living organism could survive it, because perfect stasis is an absolute balance, no movement at all, even in a bodily cell; no mineral could make it in or out.

The Being is not really a noun, like he or she. It is being as in the participle, be-ing; true and perfect the same as absolute and complete.

The True Being has been described as God’s Instrument.

Philosophically, it could be pictured as here. Nothing really sits or stands; all just is and never moves.

On Earth there is nothing to have power over the divine implement. It makes galaxies and acts throughout cosmoses. Both Shapely and Handsome speculated, there was some connection between the implement and the partible world, and thus Earth.

A disciple of Thales, Anaximander the Milesian reportedly said, there was “a certain and infinite nature” that corresponded with natures in all skies, where “payloads” could be furnished only at intervals of time.

The Latin ■malus could do in writings for a “negative payload”, as it did for poles or beams and apple trees. Another word of the same sounding was for ■things bad.

For things good, ancient Greeks had the word pankhrestos, πάγχρηστος, for things good. ■Panchristus became a variant in Latin, with the Greek change from e: to ee, in reading η.

We reckon, the cosmos is not an organism. Things can happen only according to a physical interval, and it is common-sense to note on that.

Now, about feedback, there is basically the negative and positive rebound, but neither is morally bad or good. When your body temperature is high, your homeostasis uses its negative feedback to bring internal temperature down. Uses the malus, you might say. Interestingly, when you are cold, your homeostasis does the same, “uses the malus”, to counter change from the normal.

When your bodily cells want balance, they use positive feedback for potassium.

Some ancients noted about the cosmos, “punishment is inflicted according to the order of time”. Evidently, when they thought about something reciprocal, punishment was an idea. They lived in primitive times. There is no one to publish such a thing with own name to it today.

Those times people yet wrote about “shaking at” and “shaking back” that came together with rotation and spinning, in ancient Greek already: ἐπισείω, ἀνασείω, and ὑποσείω (episeio, anaseio, and uposeio), where θεῖος (theios) would mean divine, and σείω (seio) alone would be something that goes to and fro.

Never really much shaken, the ancients predicted the process was going to end, just not any time soon. Today we can learn that ■collision with Andromeda might be the Milky end.

There was an interesting phrase already then, in ancient times, κειμένος υποκάτω (keimenos ypokato), for things subjacent or underlying, where modern science today considers it worthy to derive the word ■meson from ■the Greek.

Without mesons all would fall apart, but if you reckoned on physical being and state, you guessed mesons could not make it all. Therefore, “non-state” never was postulated. Here is why.

A physical state of matter can be that of being or non-being, but if we went into non-state, we would get options as non–state being, which would logically be the same as state non-being. Non-state not being would mean state being.

For a working universe we need things working, and thus “non-state” does not appeal to us. Things could be in a state of chaos, but they would be in that state.

Some Hindu guys talk about souls today as if they could be like rainbows. It is probably from that ancient tradition that gave human shapes to physics, where deities might be perfect, but you could not have them around without trouble.

Siddhartha’s rainbow

Let us mind, entire collections of teachings were attributed to Siddhartha from reportedly a tradition that was spoken, and first committed to writing about 400 years after the Buddha’s death. ■More

Wrote philologue Taylor,
In the never-failing generation and change in being, natures are of “ruthmos, trope, and diathige, viz. figure, order, and position”.

It is somehow amazing, to think all those tiny physical bits and shapes are spinning and changing all the time, and the reality can be solid stone.

Parmenides said: The one immovable has every name, likely about some original constant that is part the cosmic state. The famous mc square by Einstein implies a constant. The world is the general framework 3D, and a true square can be only 2D — unless you have a constant.

Let us explain, state or non-state are not the only possible talk. Things can be variable and invariable. The power of two is an idea invariable. The power of three, invariable too, would have three invariables.

The power of two can act as three invariables with a constant around. The power of three would not be four invariables with a constant because it involves limes, a boundary, like for a cubicle of light, if we were about making such.

The power of two is enough for talking things Einstein. Think you would be flying over a square. With a constant, there is 3D imaging possible for your position at any recognized time. Flying through a cubicle could be much different.

In our everyday life, aside from going amazed for a while, we do not need excess complexity. The story here reckons about man and the Great After (the Other Side), in simple words.

Now, if we read, “It is with non-being that the prefect requirement belongs”, we guess there is no perfect requirement in being, for this partible physics mortal world. There can be designate frames. Handsome said, partible physics is three in type: matter and predications from it, in form and default.

Our literary illustration, poetic license of course, is Carl Sandburg:
Here I know I will hanker after nothing so much as one more sunrise, or a sky moon of fire doubled to a river moon of water.
