      It’s old kabbalistic knowledge that over every blade of grass, there is an angel whispering to it: “grow, grow....” Every living system has an animating spirit, and spirits are operating systems, software emerging over the interaction of cells. My favorite insight of this year!

      Yes that's true. You can even summon spirits, which is nothing else than instancing an object of a software within your brain you do not interact with directly usually. 😀

      Most importantly, a spirit imparts its own nexus of autonomous agency. It cannot be fully controlled, which is why it can be dangerous to summon it. Your own core is not more than a spirit as well.

      Interesting formulation. Question: if A is B and A is also not B, is this "incoherent" In other words ( in Zen parlance) is " not one, not two" mathematically incoherent?

      Plato said math is a priori knowledge. In That case all life shares the same math.

      Math is the domain of all languages. There are some languages that we cannot learn, because our brains are too small.

      Language limited by thought; reality has no such constraints. Suspect Wittgenstein (& a few others) had access to Special Knowledge inasmuch as "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." The "whereof" is not equivalent to an absence. I think we agree w diff vocabs.

      I think that you misunderstand Wittgenstein. In this phase of his thinking (Tractatus), he likely pointed out that you can only model what you can express in your language (whereby language is a symbolic automaton, and expression is implementation).

          Wittgenstein wasn't only interested in models. Thus also his frustration with philosophy and his coining "word games".

          The world is everything that is the case. What is the case (a fact) is the existence of states of affairs. And THEN he goes on to language etc. Language ( probably all of them) are limited and limiting.
