Analysis:
1 ... For 'tranquillity'1 read: @ maximum entropy, i.e. a rest, still, @ peace, i.e. 'waiting' as an inertial state 2,3
1.1 ... For 'tranquillity' read: Pali: samatha 1,2,3
1.1.1 ... For 'samatha' read: sameness1 ; Sanskrit: samata
1.1.1.1 ... Sameness, i.e. that which is common, is empty (i.e. Sanskrit: sunja), i.e. of difference,1,2 hence of relativity
1.1.1.1.1 ... Difference (i.e. the relative) is empty of sameness
1.1.1.1.2 ... Both sameness and difference (i.e. relativity) are empty, i.e. virtual, unreal, merely potential. Only the (momentary) collision of differences, and which returns to sameness, is , i.e. is real (Sanskrit: tat ), actual
1.1.2 ... Samatha, from Sanskrit: sam, meaning: grow calm, extinguished, ceased1
1.1.2.1 ... Meditating on (i.e. cultivating) calmness, extinction, cessation (in other words, emptiness) is extremely difficult to perfect (i.e. bring to closure or ending) and sustain
1.1.2.1 ... (Direct) Meditation on (i.e. mental processing of) emptiness (i.e. sameness) began with Mahayana, i.e. as prescribed in the Heart Sutra. Hinayana achieved the same goal by means Jhana meditation (i.e. of systematic self-defragmentation and which resulted in self-tranquillity) and by of Middle Way (i.e. as elimination of boundaries (i.e. extremes)), hence of profile, identity, i.e. self or ego) action/praxis
1.1.3 ... Samatha perfected (i.e. all difference, hence relativity extinguished, therefore in/as nirvana) results in sam'adhi
1.2 ... Achieving inertial (i.e. lifeless-deathless) state capacity 1 is the goal of Buddhist effort. An inertial (hence initial2 ) state 'waits' @ maximum potential (hence virtual) action capacity. This virtual state is called nirvana (i.e. action blown out)
1.2.1 ... For 'inertial state capacity' read: random access (response) capacity
1.2.1.1 ... For 'random access (response) capacity' read: samadhi 1
1.2.1.1.1 ... Early non-buddhist linguists translated the term 'samadhi' as concentration.1 That was a serious error. Samadhi happens as data processing capacity achieves maximum, hence non-located2 (i.e. non-ordered, hence without identity or ego) response efficiency
1.2.1.1.1.1 ... The term 'concentration' suggests 'coming to a centre' and is thoroughly misleading. The meditator does not 'come to' but  'leaves off', i.e. eliminates (i.e. defragments an aggregate of fragments, i.e. a fractal elaboration serving as a location). There is, moreover, no centre to come to. Tranquillization (of mentation) happens as capacity defragmentation (i.e. disinvestment of capacity from fragments or bits) process at whose cessation (hence perfection) wholly distributed (i.e. un-located, unfocused, i.e. random) access capacity is achieved
1.2.1.1.1.2 ... For 'non-located' read: (potentially) ubiquitous, i.e. all and/or ever present1
1.2.1.1.1.2.1 ... Since time and space emerge with location (i.e. with sequence), non-located (response or access) capacity 'waits' prior to time and space
1.2.2 ... Because an inertial state 'waits' @ full (i.e. @100%) capacity in readiness for random response, it operates as an initial state. Reverting (step by step, or slice by slice, therefore analytically) to initial state capacity1 is the goal of Hinayana Buddhism. Accessing initial state capacity directly (hence holistically) is the goal of Mahayana Buddhist endeavor
1.2.2.1 ... For 'initial state capacity' read: the deathless (pre'state or pranam)
1.3 ... For 'inertial state' read: bit (i.e. quantum or unit, i.e. as unified, i.e. homogenous whole)1
1.3.1 ... For 'bit' read: absolutely logic (because singular or simple) solution 1
1.3.1.1 ... In other words, self-tranquillisation happens as the result of problem solving
2 ... For 'shutting down' read: eliminating bit (i.e. point) by bit. Shutting down happens when the first bit (of a string of bits (or points) or pattern of strings) is eliminated. Shutting down ends when the last (or nth) bit has been eliminated. At that instant, a system (i.e. as continuity of bits) has achieved (or reverted to) inertial (and initial) state capacity, i.e. random response (wrongly interpreted as access) capacity
3 ... For 'action' read: contact,1 collision, connection, touch
3.1 ... Contact happens in 2 modes, namely 1 >< 1 1,2 and 1 >< (1,1,1,1 ... to n) 3
3.1.1 ... The '1'  stands for: an (i.e. any 1 of n) inertial (hence with random response capacity) state, that is to say, for any 'bit' (or stilled byte)
3.1.2 ... 1 >< 1 action happens as direct (i.e. immediate) contact happens in a (relativity) vacuum, therefore happens c >< c (for c read: certain). 1 ><1 contact produces the realness affect
3.1.3 ... 1 >< (1,1,1,1 .... to n) action happens as indirect (i.e. mediate) contact, whereby (1,1,1,1 ... to n) symbolizes a series of (relativized random) inertial states1
3.1.3.1 ... Repetition of a series affects an observer (contacting as an inertial state, i.e. as a still whole or 1) as a string, train or sequence (of relativized random inertial states). A (repeating) string is currently called an order or program (i.e. a byte). It is (1,1,1,1 ... to n) contact (and continuity) that provides location (or address, i.e. identity). Eliminating both mediated and immediate action (i.e. contact) is the goal of Buddhist meditation
4 ... For 'identification' read: copying 1 identity 2
4.1 ... For 'copying' read: repetition,1   i.e. self-superimposition
4.1.1 ... Repetition eliminates (random) ordering, therefore releases 1 processing (i.e. ordering, i.e. instructing with random bits) capacity1
4.1.1.1 ... For 'release' read: Sanskrit: moksha (or mukti), i.e. liberation (i.e. as advance or return to initial state (hence random) capacity. Therefore, moksha is achieved when stillness (i.e. non-interaction, i.e. fixation, i.e. maximum entropy 1) is achieved
4.1.1.1.1 ... A system @ maximum entropy 'waits' (virtually) as an @1 0/ capacity 1 condensate, i.e. as an inert state
4.1.1.1.1.1 ...For '@1 0/1 capacity' read: @ random response potential
4.1.1.1.1.1.1 ... For '@1 0 /' read: at 1 (i.e. whole or finite) per infinity
4.2 ... For 'identity' read: location1,2 (i.e. as relativized position)
4.2.1 ... A location is defined as: (1,1,1,1 ... to n) 1,2,3, i.e. as reified (i.e. fixed by repetition) string (or relativized random inertial states) action function
4.2.1.1 ...Read '1,1,1,1 ... to n' to mean: an indefinite (or endless, i.e. of no fixed length) series (or aggregate, i.e. byte) of random bits
4.2.1.2 ... Read the brackets ' ( )' to indicate closure
4.2.1.3 ... Read (1,1,1,1 .... to n) to mean: byte
4.2.2 ... For 'location' read: Pali: nama-rupa, i.e. an (fixed, because locked or closed1 ) aggregation (or series, i.e. byte) of random bits
4.2.2.1 ... For 'fixed, because locked or closed' read: inert, action ceased, hence in samadhi , meaning: put together as same (i.e. difference eliminated)
5 ... For 'shut down' read: inert, i.e. action (hence turbulence; vibration) closed, ended, ceased, dead, i.e. @ maximum entropy
6 ... For 'shut down process' read: state, i.e. as status of a process display 1,2
6.1 ... A (fixed1 ) process status display (i.e. a that (Sanskrit: tat ) as hardware thing) happens either via perfect (i.e. complete) defragmentation or via slicing or cutting (i.e. by an observer as (self-fixed, hence self-sliced) interactor)
6.1.1 ... For 'fixed' read: unchanging, i.e. permanent, i.e. deathless (or lifeless)
6.2 ... For 'shut down (i.e. of action, i.e. dynamism) process' read: bit 1
6.2.1 ... For 'bit' read: (problem) solution
7 ... Early (analytic) Buddhists1 called a shut down process, i.e. a fixed (i.e. unchanging, i.e. permanent) image (or repeating string (Sanskrit: chit , cittva or citta), a kasina2,3 or nimitta (as its after-image)
7.1 ... Early Buddhists applied analysis (i.e. fragmentation) in order to understand reality. Their (indirect, fundamentally scientific) way or method was called Hinayana (i.e. the inferior or lesser vehicle or means) by later Buddhists who attempted the holistic (and direct, hence fundamentally non-scientific) approach to understanding reality and named their way or method Mahayana, the superior or greater vehicle 1
7.1.1 ... Both systems (and the hundreds of sub-systems they generated) produced sufficient (secondary) understanding (i.e. Sanskrit: jnana) but insufficient primary knowledge. Tantra (i.e. the direct contact mode) alone produced sufficient (read: real; Sanskrit: sat ) primary (albeit meaningless, because unrelativized) knowledge
7.2 ... The term 'kasina' is derived from Sanskrit: krtsna; taken to mean all, complete, whole, hence perfect (i.e. because singular). A (i.e. any 1 of n) kasina represents a (fixed, or permanent) solution. It is used (i.e. identified with) to milk the after-affect (i.e. nimitta) of permanence, namely tranquillity (@ maximum capacity)
7.3 ... Later Hinayana development specified (for political reasons) 10 Kasinas as fixed foci suitable for achieving samadhi (i.e. the unchanging self-sameness state). However, all (fixed) foci, i.e. all fixed points (i.e. logic solutions) of (or for) observation (including the 10 Asubhas, Kayagata-sati and Ananpana-sati), actually function as kasinas. Whether or not samadhi is attained depends not on the kasina but on the perfection of mental processing, i.e. on (the degree of) processing intensity. When mental processing becomes perfect, i.e. unwavering, samadhi happens
7.3 ... Identification with (i.e. self-superimposition of) a (fixed) state 1 produces the (mental) qualities of fixedness, 1 namely perfection, i.e. as closure of interaction and access of initial state (hence maximum and free) capacity
7.3.1 ... A (fixed) state presents for copying as a wholly logic point. 1 Copying a wholly logic point wholly (i.e. @1 0/ ) turns the copier into a wholly logic (hence perfect) point. Any point will serve as perfect (because closed) means to perfection, i.e. to absolute closure. Therefore, every (logic) point (i.e. as bit of hardware, i.e. of realness) functions as bodhisattva2
7.3.1.1 ... A logic point 'waits' in samadhi. Copying a logic point perfectly induces samadhi in the copier. Any point will serve as means to samadhi. In short, the ability to enter samadhi does not depend on the point-as-focus (as simple bit or as fixed string or byte) but on the (quantity of) capacity applied to processing the point. When all capacity is applied, samadhi results. Therefore, all graspable (because discrete, i.e. presenting as sliced processes) nama-rupas exist in samadhi
7.3.1.2 ... For ' bodhisattva ' read: a bit of sattva (i.e. beingness, i.e. hardware, i.e. realness) that produces bodhi1
7.3.1.2.1 ... For 'bodhi' read: awakening, i.e. by making real (via 1 >< 1 contact, i.e. by creating primary knowledge); or by producing a real location (elsewhere interpreted as consciousness) by means of 1 >< (1,1,1,1 .... to n) connection (i.e. as secondary knowledge)
7.3.2 ... For '(mental) qualities of fixedness' read: psychosis
8 ... For 'shut down process' read: end state, i.e. solution
9 ... For 'insight' read: Pali: vipassana , meaning: 'to see (i.e. access) in many ways' 1
9.1 ... For '(to) see (i.e. access) in many ways read: (to) relativize 1,2
9.1.1 ... For 'relativize' read: generate a reference base or frame 1,2
9.1.1.1 ... For 'reference base or frame' read: location or position 1
9.1.1.1.1 ... For 'location or position' read: identity (self displayed as Ego, i.e. as 'I')
9.1.2 ... Relativisation (i.e. generating a fragment base or frame) serves to eliminate a logic point (i.e. unit or quantum as inertial state) that blocks (free application of whole capacity). Once a (relative) base or frame (of fragments) 1 has been established (i.e. as aggregate of bits, i.e. as a byte, then reified as a bit), the latter is used as the Kasina (i.e. solution) means to self-tranquillization
9.1.2.1 ... For '(relative) base or frame (of fragments) read: premise set
9.1.1.2 ... For 'reference frame or base' read: secondary knowledge, i.e. understanding
10 ... For 'e'mergence' read: demerging (whole capacity) 1, i.e. slicing, cutting (Latin: cidere , i.e. to cide, as in cut) or splitting into partial (or fractal) capacity (application)
10.1 ... Demerging (i.e. fragmentation) of (whole) capacity generates fractal (capacity) elaboration,1 grasped wholly (i.e. quantized) as a location or form (i.e. as relativized capacity)
10.1.1 ... Fragmenting (horizontally or vertically) a whole (as unit or quantum) is the essence of early buddhist (now Theravada) vipassana (meditation)
11 ... For 'mergence' read: returning or reverting to whole capacity (to absolute, i.e. @ 10/ (better 1 0 /self-sameness) by eliminating the slice, cut or split 1 (i.e. by de'cision), i.e. by eliminating fragments (or defragmentation)
11.1 ... For 'eliminating slice cut or split' read: de-relativization 1,2
11.1.1 ... For 'de-relativization' read: returning to the (relativity) vacuum (state), hence to permanence, i.e. to the unchanging or deathless (and which is the stated goal of Gautama's Buddhism)
11.1.2 ... De-relativization (hence merging into a whole void of relative fragements) is the means of late buddhist (now Mahayana) vipassana (meditation)
12 ... For 'process' read: the dynamics (hence turbulence, hence heat 1) of location (hence identity or address, i.e. Ego) creation
12.1 ... Heat derives from movement, i.e. from alternate accessing (and sustaining) of fragments. Excessive heat is self-displayed (i.e. experienced) as pain (or suffering; Pali: dukkha)
13 ... In short, self-tranquillization (i.e. samadhi, achieving @ rest or standing still status, elsewhere called primary knowledge) results from complete self-defragmention (i.e. from perfect problem solving ); or from perfect identification with a (wholly self-defragmented, hence still) fragment (i.e. from identification with a problem solution); or (partially) by relativizing a fragment (i.e. a problem) as a reference base and then identifying wholly with the reference (i.e. understanding) base (as fixed, i.e. wholly resolved problem solution)
