Full day later, I think it, to emphasize state, would prioritize context. The reason for the huge ramble was, believe it or not, namespace conflict... as though any other states around here might nose in. And thanks to 'inhahe' for coming back with the question. ...Which would explain next move to 'prioritize context'. Context is a high priority for people.
I'm proposing to start on one on a computer. The first things a computer 'knows' are the boot, keyboard, & mouse. Yet on another scale, the first things it knows are BIOS, file system, and OS. On still another, the only thing it knows are interruptions. Knowledge is important to context. (The scales are ram on disk on, ram on disk off, and ram off, which may tell of the currency they and their power are bought with. Thence, we should be getting different values for lengths of time.) (Furthermore, we're all on different longitudes -and- latitudes.) Context comes from motion, perception, and composite perception (reperception e.a.o. memory). There is some reason to believe that motion and sight are different senses, perhaps so with stationary sound (gatcha) and mobile sound too. Do you go deaf of a tone after prolonged duration? That makes computers valuable commodities*: they have a symbolic interface, which no other unlive objects have. They have both mouse and keyboard. *I'm sure there is a precision to wants: what magnitude of what types of action a person wants from a day and for a time-- what energy states they go to and from (note phone on come to and come from.) Therefore, context should originate in mouse and keyboard. Humans have symbolic know-how: knowledge of how to convey intent digitally, though it may be there is no interpolation of 'intent per mouse-or-key', even though people are prone to empathize with faces. However, if you start with a 'me' and a 'no', you can get pretty logical. Intent per mouse-and-key isn't necessarily scalar, three-dimensional, or rationally dimensional (?), though they do have magnitudes per mass and volume. The contingent of 'rationally dimensional' is having or beknowing/benouncing an orthonormal basis. Incidentally, '''orthography of a language specifies the correct way of using a specific writing system to write the language. .. Orthography is derived from Greek ὀρθός orthós ("correct") and γράφειν gráphein ("to write").''' - wikipedia. Further incidentally, context and state may have more important in common than priority and price: privacy and safety are involved ex hypothesi. Incidentally = ... It is not clear that the first (cheapest best) human-computer language is a computer language, though if two were orthonormal in comparison to life, Python's fine. Not my first. In privacy concerns, it is not clear that duals aren't primitives to humans. What's a brain primitive? Lol: what is a primitive brain?
