@The_Lagrangian one thing that puts me off: why would a postrat manifesto be so concerned with labels and stages

trying to (p)reach lower-stage folks?
(the distinction between manifestos that talk to converts and those that try to convert)

Well… it’s just a framework that seems to explain some things. Can you recommend a better way of thinking about it?

where it comes to identifying ways of thinking, I think the framework is pretty good; maybe not for enumerating them?

Mmm… using small integers as category labels doesn’t imply arbitrary numbers also correspond to categories in the same set

yes, but then why use ints at all? (sorry for being pedantic)
also as unenumerated example : a ToE-like synthesis of 4 and 5

Well, ints were used because there is an invariant ordering. Maybe A B C D E would have been better. ToE = theory of everything?

I am not so sure about that ordering, which is why I took issue with it. Maybe one can hold 3, 4 and 5 at once. ToE - yes.

thread unclear to me, but y-axis is basic distinction in systems theory, x-axis seems confused to me
