What a newsworthy event!&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Matter<\/em>&nbsp;touches base with&nbsp;<em>the presence of a cigarette<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Form<\/em>&nbsp;associates to&nbsp;<em>what the cigarette is supposed to do<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scrappy player may talk about a variety of causes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Where does she get that cigarette (material)?&nbsp;&nbsp;How is she at the Easter parade (efficient)?&nbsp;&nbsp;Why is she here at the Easter parade instead of hotel that allows smoking (final)?&nbsp;&nbsp;I did not think that a cultivated person would light up a cigarette in this type of crowd.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&#8217;s like drinking in public (formal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0724&nbsp;<em>These typical comments<sub>2a<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;may be sampled<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;and analyzed<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;in order to produce a valuation<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;that a cigarette company<sub>3c<\/sub>&nbsp;might pay for.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The truncated material cause<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;is that&nbsp;<em>this woman can afford to do whatever she wants to do<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The truncated efficient cause<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;is that&nbsp;<em>smoking is liberation<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;These causes explain&nbsp;<em>the Easter parade event,<\/em>&nbsp;splashed across newspapers the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, these causes are more real than anything that the scrappy player can infer from reports and narratives.&nbsp;&nbsp;After all, no one reveals the truth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The Easter parade event<\/em>&nbsp;is staged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0725 Yes, it seems that the experts in psychometrics are missing&nbsp;<em>something about how speaking is tied to thinking<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;What does the elucidation of Aristotle&#8217;s four causes do?&nbsp;&nbsp;Talk about Aristotle&#8217;s four causes places a thing or event<sub>2<\/sub>, an actuality<sub>2<\/sub>, manifesting as&nbsp;<em>matter [substance] form<sub>2<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;into a category-based nested form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

form<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This point is foundational in&nbsp;<em>Comments on Mariusz Tabaczek&#8217;s Arc of Inquiry (2019-2024),<\/em>&nbsp;by Razie Mah, available at smashwords and other e-book venues.&nbsp;&nbsp;Parts of this work are available in Razie Mah&#8217;s blog for April through June, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0727 So, what does this imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It implies that the scrappy player<sub>a<\/sub>&nbsp;is open to understanding and that the expert<sub>b<\/sub>&nbsp;is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The scrappy player&#8217;s understanding<\/em>&nbsp;opens a cognitive space to immaterial causalities (formal and final).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Expert modeling<\/em>&nbsp;constricts&nbsp;<em>its cognitive space<\/em>&nbsp;to material and physical causalities (material and efficient, divorced from formal and final).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I associate&nbsp;<em>immaterial causalities<\/em>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<em>the spiritual world<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>material causalities<\/em>&nbsp;with the um&#8230;&nbsp;<em>material world,<\/em>&nbsp;then I arrive at&nbsp;<em>an adjustment of the ongoing sequence of figures<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This adjustment keys into&nbsp;<em>a figure in chapter 10 of Stiles&#8217;s book.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide66.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"

(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>0728 This figure is not a precise reproduction.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, it is suggestive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scrappy player<sub>a<\/sub>&nbsp;may be a theologian, a natural philosopher, or someone trying to figure out&nbsp;<em>what on earth is going on<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The scrappy player is interested in understanding.&nbsp;&nbsp;Understanding entails all four of Aristotle&#8217;s causes.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, it seems like the scrappy player wants to know the big picture, as well as the details.&nbsp;&nbsp;Big picture items, such as final and formal causes, informs the scrappy player of directions and designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The expert cannot be a theologian or a natural philosopher, because the psychometric sciences are devoted to figuring out valuation in a world bounded by the intersection of capitalism and socialism.&nbsp;&nbsp;Capitalism and socialism are all about our material world.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both &#8220;-ism&#8221; claims to be fact-based, data-driven and scientific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0729 The scrappy player<sub>a<\/sub>&nbsp;and the expert<sub>b<\/sub>&nbsp;levels are fundamentally disjointed.&nbsp;&nbsp;The spiritual world cannot be objectified as the material world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the same as&nbsp;<em>a noumenon&nbsp;<\/em>[cannot be objectified as]<em>&nbsp;its phenomena<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0730 The uncertainty is telling because&nbsp;<em>the expert<\/em>&nbsp;claims to know&nbsp;<em>what the scrappy player does not know<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I ask, &#8220;If&nbsp;<em>the scrappy player<\/em>&nbsp;knows&nbsp;<em>what the expert knows,<\/em>&nbsp;then would&nbsp;<em>the scrappy player<\/em>&nbsp;be&nbsp;<em>an expert?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, because&nbsp;<em>the expert<\/em>&nbsp;follows&nbsp;<em>the positivist intellect&#8217;s rule that metaphysics is not allowed<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, that is not the same as being trained in&nbsp;<em>the performance of specialized tasks,<\/em>&nbsp;which is&nbsp;<em>what the scrappy player<\/em>&nbsp;<em>calls, &#8220;expertise&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0731 Final causes (intentions) and formal causes (designs) are metaphysical.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, the expert concentrates on the material world and is happy explaining how&nbsp;<em>what people say about final and formal causation<\/em>&nbsp;is scientifically accounted for&nbsp;<em>by truncated material and efficient causes<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;Truncated&#8221; means &#8220;divorced from final and formal causalities&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0732 Meanwhile, the scrappy player wants to &#8220;get ahead&#8221; by becoming an expert in performing material and instrumental tasks, so he enters the realm of expertise by taking courses and getting credentialed.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, that is not what expert<sub>b<\/sub>&nbsp;level is all about.&nbsp;&nbsp;The expert<sub>b<\/sub>&nbsp;level is devoted to producing models of observations and measurements of&nbsp;<em>what people say<\/em>&nbsp;in order to ascertain&nbsp;<em>a mysterious, yet materialist, value<sub>2b<\/sub>, standing at the intersection of capitalism and socialism<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0733&nbsp;<em>What is even more confusing<\/em>&nbsp;is that&nbsp;<em>the valuations<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;produced by postmodern expertise<sub>3b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;have&nbsp;<em>material and instrumental ends<sub>1c<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;that offer&nbsp;<em>opportunities<sub>1c<\/sub>&nbsp;for the one of scientism<sub>3c<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;to make&nbsp;<em>an empirio-normative judgment<sub>2c<\/sub>,<\/em>&nbsp;which often enough, is&nbsp;<em>an operation sheepskin type of event<sub>2c<\/sub>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words,&nbsp;<em>the empirio-normative judgment<sub>2c<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;is actionable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The judgment<\/em>&nbsp;unfolds into&nbsp;<em>a nested form<\/em>&nbsp;and constitutes an event that engages&nbsp;<em>what people think<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;and what people say<sub>2a<\/sub>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>And off we go again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0734 Sign-relations, like category-based nested forms, are necessarily metaphysical, as well as physical.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The interventional sign-relation that is triggered with the execution of an empirio-normative judgment<\/em>&nbsp;plays a significant role in&nbsp;<em>the operation of the post-truth interscope<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;For example, it explains why events (SO<sub>i<\/sub>), scripted by operation sheepskin to engage our reason<sub>3a,1a<\/sub>&nbsp;(SI<sub>i<\/sub>), seem to involve a hidden agenda (SV<sub>i<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0735 Indeed, the scrappy player<sub>3a,1a<\/sub>&nbsp;(SI<sub>i<\/sub>) tunes into the interventional sign-relation when he realizes that&nbsp;<em>everything that the corporate media is talking about<\/em>&nbsp;(SO<sub>i<\/sub>) seems to have&nbsp;<em>a hidden agenda<\/em>&nbsp;(SV<sub>i<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the trick is that&nbsp;<em>any hidden agenda<\/em>&nbsp;(SV<sub>i<\/sub>) only manifests as&nbsp;<em>an interventional sign-object&nbsp;<\/em>(SO<sub>i<\/sub>).&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The interventional sign-vehicle<\/em>&nbsp;(SV<sub>i<\/sub>) cannot be witnessed&nbsp;&nbsp;So,&nbsp;<em>the feeling that there is a hidden agenda<\/em>&nbsp;(<em>what I think<sub>2a<\/sub><\/em>) cannot be objectified by&nbsp;<em>what people are talking about<\/em>&nbsp;(<em>what I say<sub>2a<\/sub><\/em>) for more than one reason.&nbsp;&nbsp;One is the dyadic structure of Kant&#8217;s slogan.&nbsp;&nbsp;Two is the&nbsp;<em>nature of the interventional sign-relation,&nbsp;<\/em>which is not apparent to experts<sub>3b<\/sub>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Three is&nbsp;<em>the distinction between noumenon and phenomena<\/em>&nbsp;replaying itself as&nbsp;<em>a distinction between the content and perspective levels of the post-truth interscope<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In sum,&nbsp;<em>the scrappy player<sub>3a,1a<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;associates to&nbsp;<em>a noumenon<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the one of scientism<sub>3c<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;is inextricably dependent on&nbsp;<em>materialist analysis<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;of phenomena<sub>1b<\/sub>&nbsp;by the psychometric sciences<sub>3b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0736 So here is a picture of the final adjustment for a segment that starts on point 0708 and applies to chapter ten, titled &#8220;Planet Vulnerable&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
