I’ve also been thinking about how to resolve 2 conflicting systems, as of late.
Seems like there are 2 paths to this:
Alternation: Take turns, each half gets it’s fair share of time. Speed up or slow down frequency of alternation as best suited to teach situation. Digital.
Synthesis: Hegelian Dialectic. Put the 2 together, and break them into parts/colors/spectrum. Find the matching contextual patterns in both, and use that to form a new greater thing. Leave the individual content patterns alone. Turn the black and white into a grayscale gradient, some individuality, some shared. Analog.
Also, as for actual physical pain, I’ve been playing with this:
If your back hurts, imagine and feel pleasure on your front (sternum).
If your neck hurts on the left, invert it, and imagine/feel pleasure on the right. In general: Invert it. Flip the bits entirely. Same thing (contextually), but different thing (contentually).
The way I first took that quote:
Simple version: “Grass is always greener on the other side”.
Complex version: Simplicity (aka Pattern, aka Information) is awesome, but becomes quickly boring and meaningless because it is KNOWN. It is the Simplicity/Pattern/Information which is currently hiding in the Chaos/Randomness which we’re so eager for. It will, for a short while, be meaningful and interesting. Until we get used to it, too. Rinse and repeat.
