NOTES
2. a. Rules are arbitrary, a world that is created must be destroyed, b. but language is meaningless.
3. a. To play the game is to lose in regards to the Ethical World, b. but consequently, the self is also meaningless.
4. a. The game�s purpose is derived from its rules, b. but nothing has meaning relative to meaninglessness, and none of the little deaths of meaning amount to anything except a suggestion of the meaningless quality of the whole.
We can call this the scientific or experimental world. It is ultimately reliant upon a material world for rules. For without interrelation with other experiments it loses its sense of purpose. Without a sense of ethics, of a common higher-good, it becomes dis-integrated from the one potential union of all worlds. It has four qualities based on the the combinations above: 1. Too much power could mean arbitrary results, but too little power could mean no results at all 2. If the language used by the scientist is as arbitrary as the world in question, insofar as the purpose of the scientist is to be a scientist, perhaps the meaning evokes the tested world and nothing more. Yet if the language is not dependent on the world in question, there is a danger that the results are a product of the language and not of the tested world. That is, the objective-scientist must have an objective language to have objective results. This objective language must be flexible if the scientist is to understand his subject, or the languages of separate studies must be compatible with one another if the experiments are to have any kind of objective value in the minds of interpreters 3. The highest goal science can aspire to is to provide proof for any particular Ethical World 4. Science is only Effective so long as the world is Logical.
Now we can formulate a chart based on this interpretation:
