Interwingularity: Connection
Interwingularity: Connection
H/T Gina Fiedel Teodora Petkova WordLift
_Everything, from code to culture, is connected and the potential of a linking mechanism that can map this connectedness is as fascinating as it is hard to implement.
Conceptually, intertwingularity is about multifaceted understandings and multilayered descriptions existing on multiple levels._

"Everything Flows Into Everything: Interconnection, Representation, Sequalization All Similar to the Issue of Water" Teodora Petkova
"Intertwingularity is not generally acknowledged, people keep pretending they can make things deeply hierarchical, categorizable and sequential when they can’t. Everything is deeply intertwingled." Ted Nelson
The Cause Of Water
There is a Zen koan that I love that for me, is about being together, being connected with everything that is here, including water. And water, being elemental is also caused by the connective tissue between all things.
It's subtle touch helps us to see the awake-ness and vitality in everything, everywhere. I think it is Intertwingularity. I like, too that it says "in the old days" with a kind of nostalgia reminding us about basics and how simply we can approach living.
The koan goes mostly like this: In the old days there were sixteen bodhisattvas. They stepped into the bath together and realized the cause of water. They said, “This subtle touch reveals the light that is everywhere...."
One wrinkle with koans sometimes are words or names that we are unfamiliar with and with this koan, it is perhaps the word, "bodhisattva". I am very (very very) loose with that stuff because although I have been keeping company with koans for a number of years, I am not really educated in Buddhism or a Buddhist. But here is a cool definition I found to describe the essence of a bodhisattva. It works just fine to mold the definition to fit your own life and thoughts. There is really nothing that can't be bent to fit what you like. (https://tricycle.org/magazine/what-bodhisattva/)
_A bodhisattva is an ordinary person who acts like a true adult... In other words, it is the motivation for living that is different for a bodhisattva.
...the significance of his or her life is not the same. For us as bodhisattvas, all aspects of life, including the fate of humanity itself, live within us. It is with this in mind that we work to discover and manifest the most vital and alive posture that we can take in living out our life._
Isn't that why we are drawn to this world that stretches out in all directions where we connect?
Ted Nelson again: "It was an experience of water and interconnection […] I was trailing my hand in the water and I thought about how the water was moving around my fingers, opening on one side and closing on the other."
