[FRIAM] everything a metaphor

[Prof David West]

I had sent this with the Perez article attached, but it exceeded a limit, so I was saved from my indiscretion of copying the article and posting as pdf.  Hopefully some of you will follow the link and have comments, but if not I will try a different tack to get the substance of the article across.

Carlos Perez posted a very nice synopsis/summary of "triadic thinking on medium:

https://medium.com/intuitionmachine/analogies-the-triadic-method-and-the-core-of-thinking-4b933793f039

Because I would like to have his ideas/posting discussed on friam and medium establishes a soft paywall, I have attached a pdf of the post — but I will be royally pissed if my indiscretion percolates beyond FRIAM in any way.

i would like to fold in Nick's claim that it is, "processes all the way down" which I agree with wholeheartedly (very Buddhist BTW) but have seldom seen any evidence that it is taken seriously; especially in the realm of conversations about 'truth', 'lies', and the incessant use of the verb 'to be'.

Hopefully, some will take the bait.
