      1.The mind's sole function and constitution is the creation and storage of symbolic representations of reality and experience.

      2.A symbolic representation of experience is necessary for memory and knowledge (and reality as we know it) to function and exist.

      5.The observer is the observed, of course; in this case the human mind's capacity for symbols is the observed symbol —and reality.

          6.This gets tricky but in essence without duality there is no unity, and vice versa. The mind is duality borne of unity.

          24.The stronger the association between a set of labels (language) and symbolic representation (one's mind) the closer language = identity.

          32.Again,the symbol exists prior to the label. The label is identity, but the symbol, insofar as we experience it as such, is reality.
