Our brains are the common denominator of all our experience and expression in the outer world.

Its individualized physical properties provide for our reality and gives rise to various levels of understanding. (SCP)

For most of us, the brain is on automatic,that is, we are not aware of its operations and let its natural predispositions express.
A quick example may to help to understand this concept. Suppose that a book is lying on a forest floor.*
 

The State of ?Nonsense?

A ?something? does not fit into our naturally constructed patterns of reality. It is person's response to experiencing the boundaries their understanding and knowledge, that is, outside a point-of-view.

Nonsense is only that which, viewed from our present POV, is unintelligible, that is, "I cannot process this information within my current understanding."

Adequatio (adequateness) states that the understanding of the knower must be adequate to the thing to be known. Adequatio is a term this writer uses to describe levels of understanding.

Closely related is the concept of "grades of significance." The same phenomenon may old entirely different grades of meaning and significance to different observers with different degrees of adequatio.

 

Two philosophical principles are also relevant. They are embedded throughout the work of writers.

The first is "nonsense"and the second is adequatio.

An animal approaches it and begins to ?examine? this object. It may sniff it, taste it, or chew it. As it ?determines? the object has no food value or presents no threat, the animal loses interest and moves on.
Next, a savage (non-pejorative) comes along and sees an oddly shaped black and white object on the forest floor. As the savage ?determines? the object has no individual or tribal value or presents no threat, the savage loses interest and moves on.

 
Then an average, educated adult comes across the book, begins to ?examine? it and may even start to read it. Soon, the adult ?determines? that this is a particular type of book that makes incomprehensible, even ridiculous claims about the universe. Having no personal value, the adult moves on. The adult is not ?interested? in it.
 
Next, a highly educated physicist comes across the book. Upon ?examination? the physicist ?determines? that the book contains a brilliant treatise on Quantum Mechanics that reveals new insights and depths to physical reality. The physicist is ?interested? in the book.
 
Notice that, in each case, the book remained the same, but its level of meaning and significance was a function of the capacity and training (adequatio) of the observer.

*Paths Beyond Ego
Facts themselves do not carry labels indicating the appropriate level at which they ought to be considered. Nor does the choice of an inadequate level lead to factual error or logical contradiction.

All levels of significance up to the highest are equally factual, equally logical, equally objective.

The observer who is not adequate to the higher levels of significance will not know that they are being missed, or insist they do not exist.

?Value is in the "eye" of the beholder."

? The issue of understanding has more to do with the incapacity to understand, rather than the inadequacy of explanations.

? There is no point in arguing about the constructed realities between levels.
? It may help the reader to read the principles of SCP and then re-read Adequatio.

? You can read a more detailed treatment of Adequatio at level 2.
What can be learned from this example of entities with different levels of understanding examining this object?
