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: sameness
1
; 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, ceased
1
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 initial
2
) 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-located
2
(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 present
1
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 capacity
1
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 states
1
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) capacity
1
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: location
1,2 (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 closed
1
) 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 (fixed
1
) 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) Buddhists
1
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 kasina
2,3
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 bodhisattva
2
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 bodhi
1
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. @ 1
0/
∞ (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)
