Relevance:     Universal
[UNIVERSALLY CLEAR COMMUNICATION] Egora may wish to have a structure to define words in a scientific and logical sense instead of the abstract and semi-random sense of a dictionary. We should have a scientific way for defining words in an incredibly strong and fast, efficacious way. A semantic table and ontological order of categories of thought separated by essential differences. It is a table of essences. We can communicate with the essence of things with no unintended baggage to cause misunderstanding.

For example, to define a word we usually have to rely on other words. So we presuppose that those words EXIST before the word we are trying to define. But then in order to finish defining our top word (pure becoming) we must define these prior presupposed words too. So then when we try to define these words completely we find the same fractal pattern occurs where those words presuppose even earlier words. This goes on ad infinity. This is a huge problem when trying to communicate with words we don't have defined all the way down.

Then what is the first thought we should start with? What is the most simple word?

Example: How do we decide how to define and explain a sandwich?

Well, a sandwich has two pieces of bread, tomato, lettuce lets say at a minimum. We presuppose we already know what bread, tomato, and lettuce. But are bread, tomato and lettuce? We have to define these. Bread is wheat in sliced form, tomato is a fruit (or is it a vegetable!), and lettuce is clearly a vegetable that is green. But what is green? What is fruit? What is sliced and wheat?.....on and on down the rabbit hole. Maybe we define these words until they get to "all is matter" but is "green" matter? Isn't it light of a certain frequency? But what is light if it has no mass and is not matter? Perhaps it is all pure logic. Hegel says it is.

These might seem like trivial definitions but the exact same problem of clarity is had at all levels and cause seriously different treatments of animals, humans and the environment particularly in business and politics. If we define one class or race of human beings as being "sub-human who have no emotions or intelligence" like the Nazi's did to the Jewish population in Germany, then it leads to consequences which does not fit the true definitions. Jewish people are of course still humans that deserve love and respect just like the Nazi's who are confused and disconnected from a higher spirit of clarity and understanding about the infinite connectedness of the universe.  Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that. But what is love??

The problem continues.

Solution: there must be a "first" simple thought upon which we can build more complex thoughts. All categories are separated by oppositions and diversity can be boiled down to oppositions or groups of oppositions called principles. To have "principle definitions" means having as simple and clear definitions has possible that link all the way down to he first clear thought. If we want to define the state, it will also have its foundational definition starting with this pure thought and building upward until all its essential oppositions and characteristics are included or excluded as its essence.

For example, a state has "being". If it did not have being it would not exist.  All things which exist must have being or else they wouldn't exist and we couldn't interact with them or even think them. So the first characteristic that all definitions should have is being. But what is being? To know what it is we must know its opposite to contrast with. The opposite of being lets say is pure nothing. So for something to have being it must not be pure nothing.

How is this useful? We can use it to make two very useful distinctions that what has being is real and what does not could be in imagination or illusory being. Its a practical way to distinguish between two worlds that we take for granted every day but now can communicate clearly. The state for instance could be an imaginary one or a real one because it has being. If you take out "being" from he definition of a state then its not an actual state. Here is he order of thoughts I think could help begin clarifying things. All the words in the first section belong to things of pure logic and metaphysics (they aren't in the physical world of nature in their pure form)

LOGIC words (in logical definitional order)
pure being-pure nothing

Sensing
Feeling Soul
—downward level—-Ideal senses (purely theoretical): sight and sound (space and time)  abstract feeling?
Practical senses: smell and taste
Feeling Sense (corporeity): a return to self that is a sense of coporeity and where there is a sense of resistance with self and the outer world? Hegel mentions weight and heat
—Next: pleasant and repulsive
SYMBOLIC
Colour: Goethe's colour and meaning, Newton white light is wrong. It just means visible
Tones
Inner Sensation
Right, ethical life, love are spiritual
Envy and hate-derive from representation
Anger, shame, (anxiety, terror)laughter, crying, page 122 zusates lectures on the philosophy of Spirit
Gestures, countenance
TOTALITY OF SENTIENCE
DREAMING SOUL
FORGETTING: DOUBLING of PERSONALITY: 1.person IN ITSELF, and 2. Free subject/consciousnes?
SELF DIVISION: illnesses of the soul
SONOMBULISM
Dementia
FIRST MODE OF TOTALITY: GENIUS: passivity/immediacy (raw naturalness, sensation without consciousness) (the soul is the genius of the human)
1. Child in womb (footnote 166: Johann Leonhard Hoffmann music and colour system, synaethesia)
2.? CHRONIC ILLNESS: hypocondria
SUICIDE
3.GENIUS over corporiety: MIRACLE OF HEALING THROUGH FAITH: PLACEBO
Witches/potion
Meditation
Telepathy as actuality (absolute connection) quantum entanglement
Neurasthenic: divining rod, co-feeling
Trance (Mesmer)
Sleepwalking, magnetic sonombulist: theoretical knowing of the feeling genius (psychic corporiety, feeling life)
Clairvoyance (bad, not independent being-for-self)
Self Feeling (sensing of the being-for-self)
Self worth, self assurance (reflected into itself
Satisfaction (division in self or passion or onesidedness returns to self. being for self)
Self esteem (meekness-arrogance)
Remembrance
Dementia
Daydreaming/twaddle
Forms of dementia: (spitefulness, malevolence)imbecility, folly, madness proper, frenzy  (cretinism)
Absentminded was/imbecility vs twaddle/gibberish
Folly: arrogance and vanity
Severe depression, complete despair
Religious fanaticism can also cause dementia
Melancholy, eternal damnation,  suicide drive
Madness/mania/frenzie
idealization:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealization_and_devaluation
HABIT
Consciousness
Self-Consciousness
Master-slave
Universal Self Consciousness
Reason
Intuition
Representations (signs, symbols, language)
Memory/Thinking
Will
Happiness (Eudamonia)
Property Rights
Contract
Right vs Wrong
Morality
Conscience
Family Life
Civil Society (system of needs/markets)
State
Art
Religion
Philosophy


How is that order? These words evolve so that the final definition of "philosophy" cannot formally occur until all the words before it come into being. For instance, can we have "philosophy" without first having a sense of the words "right and wrong"?
