lI No manaTMs land. Progress is merely decreation. ficeEnlia non swu multiplicanda praeser necessitaiem. We must not assume the existence of any entity until we are compelled to do so. This principle is purely destructive, it takes something away.fil Decreation: AceA person can doubt only if he has learned certain things; as he can miscalculate only if he has learned to calculate.A2 The advances of civilization are gross exaggerations; a function of the language with its built-in commitment to the accretive historical model. Flat earth: round earth. It isnamit a one hundred percent accretive advance from one to two: one hundred assumes and decreates ninety-nine. Round earth assumes and decreates flat earth. invisible assumes and decreates visible. Events assume and decreate matter. The relativistic universe assumes and decreates the mechanistic universe. AceProgress is always a transcendence of what is obvious:As dccrcation. Is it simply that Aceprogress in any aspect is a movement through changes of terminology:14 AcM no manaTMs land, or better said, a no signals region extends between past and future.A5 Universe is finite: no space-time continuum. A voice out of the past? The reliving of an experience? DonaTMt call it memory. Is it possible to remember? ficeA seeing into the past? It does not show us the past. Anymore than our senses show us the present. Nor can it be said to communicate the past to us.te Universe is finite: a process of decreation: the passing of the created into the uncreated. Decreation: the created passes into man-made invention. Reality passes into description. The end of the waste system. The waste: the generalizations of previous epochs. Decreation: getting through the history of words. We must not assume the existence of any entity until we are compelled to do so. ficeThe point is that unnecessary units in a sign language mean nothing.al The accretive principle: the predominant way people live, like the oldfashioned idea of making a living; amounting to something. Stuff starts at one point and goes through accretive increments of time, of space, of history, etc., to get to another point. Universe: no accretion; no accumulation; no development; no continuity. Neither before nor after; neither behind nor beyond; neither here nor there; neither inside nor outside; neither from nor to: No direction; no between: no communication. Universe: a verb. Not existing in time, but time itself and not the time of past, present, future. Time undifferentiated in activity, not time of being. Universe: a decreated world: Acta moment in time / and of time. / A moment not out of time, but in time, in what we call history: / transecting, bisecting the world of time, a moment in time / but not like a moment of time, / A moment in time but time was made through that moment: / for without the meaning there is no time, and that moment / of time gave the meaningl Awkwardness: The only way to fit the uniqueness of insights into current laws. Awkwardness: stymied by perception, by knowledge Awkwardness: seethe primary advantage thus gained is that experience is not interrogated with the benumbing repression of common sense.A9 EFTA_R1_02124795 EFTA02711279 Universe is finite: objectified expression of activity: the assumption of the positive-negative abstractions particular to the subject-predicate proposition; the assumption of the process of subject-predicate. No ultimate subject: the unity is unitless. ficeWhere you end / And I begin / Or any else, in fine, / On such dichotomies depend / Therein% no one left to draw a line.a14 Subject-predicate: nounaTmd. Noun: negated. Syntax: confused. aceA noun is the name of things . . . why after a thing is named write about it.au The major accomplishment of science is that it has never produced an objective fact, never proven the existence of an object. No nouns: no objects, no people, no propositions, nothing. Living with Acethe growing terror of nothing to think about.Al2 Undifferentiation of activity: no division of activity into parts. No differences; no between. ficeTo be without description of to be.a" It is impossible to pay less than one hundred percent attention. It is impossible to do less than you do. Universe: verb. Do: always one hundred percent: the do of do; the do of not do. Activity: always one hundred percent: the activity of activity; the activity of nonactivity. Experience: always one hundred percent: the experience of experiencing; the experience of not experiencing. You canaTMt do less than you do. Doing: complete, obligatory, always one hundred percent, whether the focus is the part or the whole; the totality or the selection obscuring the totality. ficeI ama is doing: donaTMt call it being.

The most important thing is the next word; the to-be-said. Not a word and yet another kind of word: acea refinement of general language, supplementing it with appropriate tools to represent relations for which ordinary verbal expression is imprecise or cumbersome.av No ultimate subject. aceJust by avoiding the reference to the conscious subject which infiltrates daily language, the use of mathematical symbols secures the unambiguity of definition required for objective description/a" Get through the history of words. aceThrow away the lights, the definitions, / And say of what you see in the dark /'That it is this or that it is that, / But do not use the rotted names.A19 Universe: verb. The coupling of observer-observed system. The doing of man-environment. The doing of aceI think.i Universe: not observer, not man, not I. The unity is unitless, an expression of undifferentiated activity. aceWe need no longer discuss whether light consists of particles or waves; we know all there is to be known if we have found a mathematical formula which accurately describes its behavior and we can think of it as either particles or waves according to our mood and convenience of the moment.a" It aceexists in a mathematical formula; this, and nothing else, expresses the ultimate reality.0 aceOur task can only be to aim at communicating experiences and views to others by means of language in which the practical EFTA_R1_02124796 EFTA02711280 use of every word stands in complementary relation to attempts at its strict definition.F This exercise sets forth exact notions with the inexact language of the spurious names and generalizations that have crept into the language as truth. mereaTMs no other way. aceThere are no precisely stated axiomatic certainties from which to start. There is not even the language in which to frame them. The only possible procedure is to start from verbal expressions which when taken by themselves with the current meanings of their words arc ill-defined and ambiguous.a23 Welcome the contradictions, welcome the confusion . . as you would success. The coupling of observer observed system is finite. The observation, the measuring operation, is irreversible. The real world measured itself out of existence. aceThe model need not be that of an objective, immovable world around us. Philosophers of our time cannot ignore the fact that Interaction be tween observer and observed is finite and cannot be made as small as desired. Observation and perturbation inevitably go together and the world around us is in perpetual flux because we observe it.a24 ficeA physical quantity must not be defined by verbal reduction to other familiar conceptions, but by prescribing the operations necessary to produce and measure it.a21 Universe is finite decreation of the outside world, independent of us; decreation of the outside world not directly accessible to us. The description is the thing. The description: a mathematical formulation, the statistical expression of coupling. aceThe making of models or pictures to explain mathematical formulae and the phenomena they describe is not a step toward, but a step away from reality.P Universe is finite: not a word, and yet another kind of word, and acethe word must be the thing it represents.F No nouns: acethe notion of an actual entity as the unchanging subject of change is completely abandonedO The unity is unit- less: aceAn actual entity is at once the subject experiencing and the superject of its experiences. It is subject-superject and neither half of this description can for a moment be lost sight of.10 Unitless unity: the negation of one.

We form together with it, an inseparable whole. There are no actors and spectators, but a mixed crowd . . . Acereject, absolutely renounce the idea of an objective real world.a37 The concern is with Aceour observation of nature, and not nature itself.A" Description is the thing. Decreation of the idealized real world, the thing world, the people world. AccExperiments are the only elements which really count.A3-2 Coupling of observer-observed, an event: the matter of fact. aceThe elementary particles themselves are not as real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than of things and factst Physical phenomena: not things made of matter. Coupling: the matter of fact. AceDo not look behind the facts since the facts themselves make up the doctrine.itm Physical phenomena: coupling: the matter of fact. ficeTo confront fact in its total bleakness is for any poet a completely baffling experience. Reality is not the thing but the aspect of the thing.A42 Unnecessary units in a language mean nothing. The unnecessary unit: an invention. The real world: an invention. Invention: a question of decreation. Invention: a question of realization, not intention. We must not assume the existence of any entity until we are compelled to do so. aceWe approach a society / Without a society/e) We are compelled to assume the existence EFTA_R1_02124797 EFTA02711281 of an entity only by decreating that entity. Invention by decreation. Concepts are the impersonal effect of an epoch. Names are included in conceptual exercises either to impress the reader or to support a notion so weak as to require a name with which to tyrannize the reader. aceThe first idea was not our own.104 Not one idea in this exercise is original. They are the ideas of the reader, not the author. There is no author. Not one idea in this exercise is original. The final elegance: assuming, asking the question. No answers. No explanations. accWhy do you demand explanations? If they are given, you will once more be facing a terminus. They cannot get you any further than you are at present.a45 The solution: not an explanation: a description and knowing how to consider it. Everything has been explained. There is nothing left to consider. The explanation can no longer be treated as a definition. The question: a description. The answer: not explanation, but a description and knowing how to consider it. Asking or telling: there isnatMt any difference. ficeWhy is a contradiction more to be feared than a tautologyr Success in this exercise is confusion. Knowledge is tautological. ficeKnowledge is the thing you know and how can you know more than you do Icnowr The decreation of reality: as it is known; as it is not known. The decreation of reality: the invention of reality. Make or do: You canairmt do other than do. Each observation destroys the bit of the universe observed, and thus supplies knowledge only of a universe which has already become past history. Make-create: spurious conceptions of the empirical notion of antecedent observation. Make-create: accretive advance from nothing to made; from nothing to created; from nothing to thing. Make-create: a real world taking a holiday. You canaTMt do other than do. Doing: do. Not doing: do. Make- create: do. Not making-not creating: do. Observation and perturbation inevitably go together and the world around us is in perpetual flux, because we observe it. You canalMt do other than do. Nothing comes before performance. ficeConcepts which refer to distinctions beyond possible experience have no physical meaning and ought to be eliminated.

No nature at an instant: no pictures: no mirrors. aceNo pictorial interpretation on accustomed lines, but establishing relations between observations.am These relations are represented statistically. Their expression, a consequence of the coupling of observer-observed is independent of time and place; independent of development; independent of seriality. Measurements, experiments are what count: nonaccretive discrete energy values for discrete states (S) of experience. The measurement (S) destroys the bit of the universe observed. Observation and perturbation inevitably go together and acethe world around usa is in perpetual flux because we observe it. No accretive states of experience: S2+S3+S4, etc. To measure is to disturb. Every measurement is SI. There is no S2. There can be no addition, no comparison, no creation, no reproduction, no difference. A no-signals region extends between past and future. atzeOne picture of the scenario about the caterpillar stage does not communicate its transformation into the butterfly stage.a57 No-signals region: no difference. No accretive states of experience. The end of the beginning, of first, of last, of before or after, of between. A no-signals region extends between past and future: no manaTMs land.

Value is not to be found in scarcity of people, things, ideas, etc. Physical phenomena: the irreversible coupling: a verb. aceOnly the final sum matters.r The computation assumes the history of the system in its expression. acePhysical science consists of purely structural knowledge, so that we know only the structure of the universe which it describes. For strict expression of physical knowledge a mathematical form is essential, because it is the only way in which we can confine its assertions to structural knowledge.

The epistemological: investigation of the methods and limits of knowledge. At the intersection of the empirical and the epistemological: a convenient nowhere, anytime, to be or not to be. Confusion: the incredible something of nothing. Beyond the reality principle there is nothingness: the void. And beyond the void: description of the void: the idealization, the objectification of nothing. Description of nothing, of event, of process, of doing, of void: a thing. The description is the thing. At the intersection of the empirical and the epistemological: a convenient nowhere, anytime, to be or not to be.

Truth is now a matter of convenience; concepts are valid only in their capacity to sustain interest: only in their use. The interchangeability of concepts is a consequence of the non-interchange- ability of the coupling operation.

Before the of the round earth, all thoughts, concepts, were the product of the sensibility of life on a flat earth. The earth was flat until the point of creation of the round earth; which is not to say that the earth was flat until we realized that all along it had been round. The information on the previous page is false. The previous page is the flat earth. This page is the round earth. The earth is round: this page is being read. if we talk of a flat earth producing a round earth; the round earth is doing the talking. If we talk of the previous page: this page is doing the talking. The previous page as an entity is the invention of this page, it can exist only on this page, it can live only on this page. We must not assume the existence of any entity until we are compelled to do so. Without this page the previous page could not have existence as an entity. The previous page exists as an entity only through decreation; this page decreates the previous page. Decreation of the thing described: assumption by this page of the description of the thing described: this page describing the previous page.
