A rookie mistake likely in this corner of Twitter is bouba is good, kiki is bad. Or virgin kiki vs Chad bouba. In other corners, the reverse bindings to good/evil and popular local memes is likelier.
Can you see the flaw and how to fix it? Answer in next tweet.

The correct answer is: locally, good is bouba, bad is kiki. Insofar as chad/virgin are really just local good/bad personified. There are no categories more basic, so the only X/Y for which “bouba is X/kiki is Y” works is X=bouba, y=kiki. The obvious tautologies.

First law of boubakikiology: Bouba is bouba, kiki is kiki
Second law: Every real thing is impure bouba or impure kiki, with seed of the opposite, as in yin-yang, but boubakikier
Third law: Bouba and kiki are not contained in any more basic categories

Paradoxically, “boubakiki” the compound term and derivatives like boubakikiology are not fundamental. They can be in other categories. I can say things like “boubakiki is pop version of ontic structural relativism” or even “boubakikiology is good”
It’s a divine gift. Direct perception of unfactored reality 😇
It’s like the 42nd jhana or something. Post-post-ayahuasca

Wondering how do you classify bouba/kiki in your mind...As in what basic heuristics do you use beyond round/edges or general/details?

Also this deep into this religion you should get that trying to reduce boubakiki to heuristics is kiki, and any algorithm will also run into the halting problem too often to be useful.

Bouba and kiki are the Penrose tiles of thought. Curiously the 2 basic Penrose tiles, the kite and dart are bouba and kiki. And the basic rule of the aperiodic tiling game is you can’t put them together into the obvious rhombus. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_t

Obvious rhombus is my Google Docs anon editing handle. I don’t do band names.

Strictly, or kikily speaking, by the fundamental laws, the correct statement is: integration is bouba, differentiation is kiki. And only applies to regular Riemann integrals. Lebesgue integrals can be kiki for example.

bouba is integral, kiki is differential
