The words wrapped around the everyday make things stick together, bound for no reason other than to stabilize the every of the everyday. Minding and wording are doing the gluing.



We assume that no one can possibly change/transform without new minding or new wording, but that is just another minding and wording, more of the same gluing.

Transformation II: learning a new set of frames

Transformation III: learning the system that gives birth (and death) to the sets of frames



The problem with specifying Transformation III is that we tend to overlook that most of our punctuations arise from the same premise (or implicit rules, programs, logics) for punctuating. Comparing different punctuations that arise from the same premise merely generates…
