“What determines the relationship between, for example, ‘A’ and ‘B’ is not logic, though logic can become involved, secondarily.

It is, instead, »the purpose for which we collapse the infinite manifold of identity — to »derive ‘A’ and ‘B’, and set them into relation in cognition. This is an action in cognition, and is never ‘given’ in raw, determinate fashion, as we are scripted to think or believe.

This purpose is the invisible ‘transformer’, that determines their ‘relationship’, their ‘difference’, ‘equivalence’ or ‘similarity’.

We imagine that there are exceptions, such as those found in ‘Algebra’, however, in Algebra, our »purpose is predetermined by axioms and methods. Therefore, we have the purpose to reproduce and concern our cognition with these methods, thus producing reliable, ‘testable’ results. Only within the scope of these methods are the outcomes reliable. Outside of them, as in the mind of an infant, for example, they are literally meaningless.

All identities are infinite, prior to the arising of purpose in awareness. We collapse manifolds of infinities, unaware that this activity in cognition produces the features and characteristics we »excerpt for concern, attention or evaluation.

In effect, there are not facts whatsoever; what there are, are, effectively, lexicons according to which we excerpt, derive, ‘compare’ and ‘evaluate’ the product of the enaction of our purposes.

Purpose determines what we derive, as well as our evaluations—and thus produces the species of derivations and comparisons that therefrom result.”
