On Crystalline Matrices

A Crystalline Matrix


                   We will be looking again at the models of human diversity. Spectrums, distributions, gradients and displacements. There are many ways of mapping the variabilities of human diversity. We don't need a crystal ball or a star chart to count all the ways we are distinguishable. Most of the Socially Recursive varieties of personal differences are not always symmetrical: Man / Woman, Young / Old, Big / Small. And yet if we look at comparative distributions, we often will find a centered mean balanced by equal sides, just like Perceptual Orientations. Now of course any of these groupings can be skewed. But we all seek the balance of;
                  A. (Man to Woman) {Gender}
                  B.(Young to Old) {Successions in Time}
                  C.( Big to Small) {Scale}
And what is one extreme without the other. Polarity can come in many different ways. (Vectors in a Matrix)

                  There are different ways we can draw comparative analysis from the six diagnostic checklists we have been looking at;
                  1. Perceptual Ordination: Up / Down, Right / Left, Forward / Backward, etc.
                  2. Taoism and the I Ching:  Yang (Creative) / Yin (Receptive)
                  3. Chinese Medical Diagnostics: Empty / Full
                  4. Astrology: Rising / Descending
                  5. Kabbala and Tarot: Severity / Mercy (Sorry for my misuse of attributions.)
                  6.  Handwriting and Palmistry: Masculine / Feminine

                 Now of course we will be needing to look at much higher orders of dimension in our analytical space, but for now simple is the core of our shared meta formality. We can always further divide our areas of investigation. Yet we need not be intimidated by the simple elegance of traditional meta formal logic. We need only accept that it exists and that it has been at the core of language since the practice of all of the earliest oral traditions. We might say that the symmetry is "Local," in that we needn't bog down in infinities. The dynamics of the observable variabilities are defined by mutual exclusion. Up is not Down. Yang is not Yin. Empty is not Full and so on. As dualities are formed, these are bound by unity. These distinctions may seem trite in regards to much finer details of variability, but as we construct much more precise terms for analyzing variability, we will be glad we laid out accurate metrics for comparison. Hopefully, when we get to the rotational displacements of periodic behaviors in mass movements we may be able to make sensible predictions about individuals as well as for societies in transition.

                  As we have already seen much of these notations on "Social Valences," anticipate that the contraction of the corresponding gradient variabilities will negate and neutralize the countervailing indexing displacements. (A Lot of Data Is Redundant.) Simple language will make the more abstract mathematical language more understandable, hopefully. As always, wish me luck. I'm not quite done yet.
