OK. But the question remains *when* to increase the field. Steve's answer (if I understand it -- maintain a quasi-periodic pulsing field) is *generally* good, but particularly bad. I think one of the issues the Right has with things like Political Correctness has to do with our inability to maintain a high swappability between true and false. Witness those of us who spend a *lot* of time referencing science fiction (particularly authors like Heinlein) or fantasy (particularly like the Lord of the Rings). Our metaphors carry us away into an inability to distinguish what-is from what-if. The "adjacent possible" smacks of that same inability. In may be just dandy for super-intelligent god-people with disposable income, time, and cognitive power, lucky enough to be "paid to think". But normal people have things that need to get done ... like ... NOW. And tomorrow comes with a whole new set of things that need to get done, now.

Inspired by this post: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/wJutA2czyFg6HbYoW/what-are-trigger-action-plans-taps, what we normal people need are specific and particular *triggers* which, when identified, launch the field/heat increase to re-dimensionalize the discussion.  Similarly, I'd argue we need specific and particular triggers to launch a dampening effort to cool down, reduce, the discussion from a high dimensional riot into more gelatinous cohesion.

The two are different axes of angular momentum.  When the transverse field is high, proposition are both true and false, when it is low they must be true or false.   One can perform this procedure from things that are true or false toward things that are true and false or the vice versa.
