interrogated with the benumbing repression of common sense.” 9
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. “Where you
end / And I begin / Or any else, in fine, / On such dichotomies depend / There’s no
one left to draw a line.” 10 Subject-predicate: noun’d. Noun: negated. Syntax: confused.
“A noun is the name of things . . . why after a thing is named write about it.” 11 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 “the growing terror of nothing to think about.” 12
Undifferentiation of activity: no division of activity into parts. No differences;
no between. “To be without description of to be.” 13
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 can’t 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. “I am” is
doing: don’t call it being. “I am not” is doing: don’t call it nonexistence. “I think”
is doing: don’t call it thought. Do: “The final elegance, not to console / Nor sanctify,
but plainly to propound.” 14
Undifferentiated activity. Don’t call it Life. Don’t call it Man. Talk “of gods and
man destroyed, the right / To know established as the right to be. / The ancient symbols
will be nothing then. / We shall have gone behind the symbols / To that which they
symbolized.” 15 Use unambiguous language for objective description: elementary physical laws are
all expressed by statistical formulas. “All the pictures which science now draws of
nature, and which alone seem capable of according with observational fact, are mathematical
pictures.” 16
The description is the thing. The most important thing is the next word; the to-be-said.
Not a word and yet another kind of word: “a refinement of general language, supplementing
it with appropriate tools to represent relations for which ordinary verbal expression
is imprecise or cumbersome.” 17 No ultimate subject. “Just 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.” 18
Get through the history of words. “Throw 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.” 19
Universe: verb. The coupling of observer-observed system. The doing of man-environment.
The doing of “I think.” Universe: not observer, not man, not I. The unity is unitless,
an expression of undifferentiated activity. “We 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.” 20 It “exists in a mathematical formula; this, and nothing else, expresses the ultimate
reality.” 21
“Our task can only be to aim at communicating experiences and views to others by means
of language in which the practical use of every word stands in complementary
