on hate

if i fear you, you might feel hated

and vice versa

which has implications for addressing hate

and fear, I guess

saying "our love is greater than their hate" might read from "their" position as "their hate is greater than our fear"

look:

1. "our love" refers to the love we have for whatever is considered "us". if we're not actively demonstrating universality of "us", it's going to read as a bounded in-group. universal "us" is an active demonstration; the minute it goes passive it start excluding emergent forms.

2. "their hate" identifies an out-group and declares an interpretation of their expression, and it's really close to asserting the root of their expression

3. looking in on any group that operationally bounds itself apart from the observer, the group's active self-love is I think indistinguishable from active rejection of the observer. the observer doesn't share interiority with the group, and love is nontransmissive without a level of interiority-to-interiority intimacy.

dang

I think the move has to be geometric, offering a rotation to both groups that lands everyone on a common point in a novel dimension, but the rotation has to be a palindrome, and the instructions for the rotation have to encourage exploration of the novel dimension? doesn't even have to explicitly encourage cooperative exploration - it'll just be cooperative, with a heterogeneous population emerging homogeneously. differentiation in the novel dimension comes way later, when the new dimension starts developing address-space.

and I think any embodied observer has the opportunity to offer themselves as rotation, because a uniquely-addressed observer is, effectively, a novel dimension to everyone else. can you embrace everyone honestly? literally: do you work as a lookup table for everyone else? ... I think that's the limit case of self-development?

I think we're getting closer... something about developing continuity of self across rotations? like continuous holonomic integration-into-self? if you know that the next change will still be exactly you, despite the next change being non-deterministic, then you become a certain kind of affordance for everyone who can locate you?

here: are you routable? both like (1) do you route things properly and (2) is your location formed such that your stuff can be eventually routed to you from anywhere

I think that's the state you converge on or toward, as a located mind (which I think is embodiment?), the better you get at decomposing incoming sense data into "significant to me-as-distinct-from-you" vs "unknown, let it pass". the ongoing refinement of that skill (I don't think it ends?) is critical for integration that does not become conquest
