Understanding is thinking within a mold.

Phenomenology as non-logical steps

• When we precisely understand its formed intricacy, that is just when we exceed its forms. When we don’t understand a book, we can only quote it. To understand it is to dwell-think in its forms, and that is more precise than the forms.

• (DeepL)If you cannot understand a book, you have to quote it. To understand it is to think within its form, which is more precise than the form.

  • Translation: We need not surrender to “what is already structured. When we understand a complex structure accurately, that is the moment to go beyond that structure. When we read a book and do not understand it, we can only quote it. To understand a book is to dwell-think within its structure, which is a more accurate understanding than the written structure.

• When you don’t understand a book, all you can do is quote it. I can only quote what I don’t understand.

from Phenomenology as an illogical stage in Experiential Processes and the Creation of Meaning

• When we understand exactly the complexity that has been formed, when it transcends its form

  • When you don’t understand it, all you can do is quote it.

    • That’s me right now.

  • To understand is to be “in” the form “Housing - Thoughts”.

    • This is a more accurate understanding than “keeping” the formality.

    • Shuhari I associate it with
      • When you don’t understand type (e.g. of machine, goods, etc.) you can only defend [type (e.g. of machine, goods, etc.)
      • When understood accurately, the mold is broken.
      • The machine translation translated “form” as “shape” but changed it to “type.
    • Understood: Dwelling” and the Kozane Law.
      • Do you really understand?
        • How do we know if we “got it exactly right?”

• To verify if this “understanding = hypothesis” is correct, we put it into practice and observed the results.
  • Specifically, I worked to transform Heidegger’s “Building, Living, Thinking” into a space without distorting its symbols. - Kozaneba:dwell-think
  • The conclusion, in a word, is half right, half wrong with my representation.
    • The meaning of the word “live” was much more abstract than initially imagined.
  • This would be more interesting if it were firmly verbalized instead of just one word.

• Firmly verbalized: Building, Living, Thinking.
