I am new here. I am uncertain of what exactly is expected to be posted here, but I was directed here by a friend after sharing something I had written down with them. They encouraged me to post it here, and after reading a few threads I came to find interest in this site. So now I would like to share here what I shared with them, which is a new way to view understanding from an objective standpoint, one that regards emergent phenomena such as intuition, innovation, and inspiration:
The concept of Tsaphos
Definition:
Tsaphos
- refers to the set of understandings beyond logic that significantly contribute to innovation, intuition, and inspiration.
Application:
to understand Understanding, one must realize that Logic alone is not sufficient. The concept of Tsaphos is not to introduce a new phenomena, but rather to outline the limits of Logic on conceptualizing Understanding. for example, an intelligent mind might be able to recognize a pattern without being able to comprehend the underlying principles, such as a student learning trigonometry without a full understanding of the unit circle.
in essence, Tsaphos encompasses understandings that lie beyond what Logic can provide. it is through this concept that Logic can separate from Understanding, deriving Logic to an apparatus instead of a world-view.
this concept also solidifies Understanding as an explorable landscape with seemingly infinite depth and intricacies.
once someone is able to fully comprehend and describe the system of the Logic behind the Understanding initially understood through Tsaphos, then the set of Tsaphos decreases in volume and the set of Logic increases. however, as the set of Logic increases the larger the landscape of Understanding is, meaning that as long as there is infinite depth, Tsaphos will always grow larger as a set in volume compared to Logic.
Differences from intuition(at the request of a friend):
this concept almost mimics intuition, yet there is a significant difference. intuition is immediate, almost as if it were an action, were the definition relies entirely on individual expression. While intuition is the immediate recognition or action, Tsaphos represents the underlying unknowns that intuition accesses. Tsaphos and intuition are intrinsically related, much like how Tsaphos with both innovation and inspiration are related. Tsaphos pertains to the content of Understanding, whereas inspiration, then intuition, and then innovation pertains to the process of the phenomenon.
Tsaphos is more of a complementary tool with Logic to better understand Understanding, as since it is possible for someone to intuitively infer something, then there was something to infer in the first place. that something lies within the set of Tsaphos, where once understood no longer resides within that set.
