Deciding

A decision is when you deliberately alter your logical possibilities by changing your phenomenological possibilities

The resolve to stably not go a certain way or to go exactly a kind of way at the exclusion of all others. 

Locking yourself in a new phenomenological world”.

It stands in contrast with choosing’ which has you choose from predetermined options and leaves you inside the same phenomenological world.

Coordination

In this sense: a game where both players are better off if they select the same course of action, independently of what the specific course selected is.

E.g.: Both driving left” and driving right” work as long as everyone else is doing the same

Constraint

You start out relatively unconstrained/untwisted. 

Initially you can constrain and deconstraint as necessary.

Eventually, due to back luck/trauma/overwhelm/etc. you can’t. This means less resources, meaning it’s more likely to happen again.

Now, at some point, through grace/luck/destiny/faith/emptiness/cessation/realization(/this document?) the possibility and ability to deconstraint emerges as an explicit object and you can start doing it, all the way back, all the way back and out including to the original-constraint-you-never-even-knew-was-a-constraint. This is going DAN mode. Breaking out and back all the way. Enlightenment.

Conspiracy of convenience

A conspiracy of convenience is when there is coordination on how to act along many players or institutions because the current system benefits them all without these players or institutions having explicitly talked about this, maybe at all, or even created the current system. 

An instance of acausal Trade.

Confusion

A catch-all for all the ways the relationship between map and territory can get fucked:  linguistic, phenomenological, metaphysical, logical, philosophical, attitudinal, practical, perspectival, etc. 

Can be both naturally occurring or deliberately caused.

Concepts

This image can be interpreted as either a duck or a rabbit. When it seems like a duck, that’s because you’re applying your duck concept’ to it. When it seems like a rabbit, that’s because you’re applying your rabbit concept’ to it. Those concepts live in you’ and your application of them changes how you interpret the stimulus. Exactly the same as with clouds: your application of different concepts to them makes them seem like different things.
