“If you want to ruin or correct human intelligence, go at the roots. What the world is. What the sky means. Birth. Death. Light. Animals. Time. Corrupt any of these and the possibility of anything like intelligence disappears. Correct any of them even slightly, and the repercussions become explosive new domains of available prodigy. Human intelligence is based on a small library of key identities which all other ideas, words, concepts and figures must inherit to have meaning. Errors in these roots are recursively self-magnifying in even simple words or ideas; so, too, corrections.” — Holophore Theory: Meronymic Inheritance
