8. Condi:onal Sense
Denote EAT
Denote BIRD
The verb Eat and the noun Bird together form
a complete unit of thought, “Eat bird.” That
much is clear, what isn’t clear is how they are
categorized as objects of experience.
Let’s say Robin funcAons like a prototype to
provide one with an actual sense of the word,
Bird. Hungry is able to do a similar task for the
word, Eat. Each sense-word acts as a coherent
core for their perspecAve denotaAons. The
sense of "bird" (“robin”) converges with the
sense of "eat" ("hungry") to produce birds that
experience indicates as likely menu opAons.

Making Sense of Sense
12. “When one encounters a new situaAon (or makes a substanAal
change in one's view of the present problem) one selects from
memory a structure called a Frame. This is a remembered framework
to be adapted to fit reality by changing details as necessary.”
― Marvin Minsky

Analogy ConAnued...
The Q Categorical Axiom:
State: actual ⊇ potenAal
Mode: potenAal ⊇ actual
The actual state is always the superset where cross-ability and non-cross-ability
both exist. The potenAal state is the subset where only one of those states exists.
The potenAal mode is always the superset where the up-ness and down-ness are both
acAve measures. The actual mode is the subset where the passive difference is idenAfied.
According to the Q axiom, a mode is always a potenAal acAon or measure, such that, any
acAon or measure is a potenAal response that automaAcally idenAfies its related actual
difference. For instance, if the mode is up, it has an actual difference down. The acAve-
potenAal mode is idenAfied only awer the passive-actual mode is determined. This
suggests a frame of reference (e.g., is the train your on moving or the one next to you?). These
are two points of measure that need not be complimentary terms. A state does not
funcAon in this way, a state’s becoming can be any number of possible condiAons, for
instance, up can become sky, good mood or awake. Occurrent interacAons with the
world will drive remembered responses toward predicAng likely potenAal condiAons.

1. To encounter an acAve state refers to an experience of actual context and its potenAal in Ame, thus, pertaining to an actual temporal sense.
2. To encounter an acAve mode refers to a potenAal acAon and its discerning actual measure, thus, pertaining to a potenAal of spaAal sense.

The key idea of The Quadranym Word-Sensibility Model is that the environment drives
the actual-subjecAve-sense, while remembering guides the potenAal-objecAve-sense.
To be clear, in this system, there is no real difference between subjecAve reality and
objecAve reality except for how it pertains to context, otherwise there is theoreAcally
only a single empirical reality made experienAally discrete by contextual and
categorical processes. The objecAve sense of a Q-unit pertains to the ability to make
useful predicAons about the world as it applies in context with the subjecAve sense.

Everyone does it, we go to the edge of the pool and dip our toe in the water; if the
temperature feels warm we enter quickly if cool we hesitate. The reason we
hesitate to get into a nice pool on a nice hot day is owen the change and not
necessarily the temperature. Once calibrated to air temps our bodies will resist
change because of how sensibility works. The noAce of change is what concerns us.

All Qs are tested and cerAfied by humans. To assist in this process a
simple sorAng program is used to read back quadranym constructs
through an array of natural language scripts called expression-frames.
Expression-frames are tailored to fit a specific realm or domain.
For example, the Valence Realm.
(qt) = topic, (qe) = expansive, (qr) = reducBve, (qo) = objecBve (qs)= subjecBve.
It is correct to be (qe) instead of (qr) when the situa6on is (qo) but could have been
(qs) when regarding (qt).
