Intellect in the exterior field

This post, I have attempted to write in the language of intellect. To me it sounds barren and a difficult pill to swallow. An attempt at making an abode without any space for wind!

Constant operations are "constantly repeating" themselves. The ideal example that comes to mind is the factory. It churns out products that are made from constant repetition. This factory model is factorial. Factorial is a product of an integer and all the integers below it. The integer can be increased at the expense of its poor subjects that have to keep up given the obvious mathematical necessity.

Similarly the constant operations are present in the exterior field. Those operations are what takes up the identity of an agent. An agent does x, y and z to an object. Without the predictability of what a particular agent will do, it is difficult to engage it in repeating something. A doctor is a person who shall heal. Roles tend to be attached with functions. Functions tend to have boundaries, or what is permissible or non permissible to them. Here we again find ourselves with rigidity of what can be or not be (like in the factorial). A physician can not attempt to unheal, just as a banker cannot attempt to lose money.

There are rules of what can be done and what cannot be done based upon one's role. Any deviation results in expulsion from the group. The biggest constant operator, evolution is based on precisely on this.  Reproduction of the fittest and its relationship to the group is evident. The weak shall be shunned, left to die and the strong will reproduce. Introduction of variability in this equation is something that is to be discussed in The Pendulum and Crystallization. The theory of memes also governs the thoughts and attitudes in a similar way.

It is no secret how medicine, like any other field is full of protocols, treatment guidelines and a fix for every problem by labeling and identifying. There is a protocol for treating cancer just as there is one for treating depression. Reason for creating protocols, being fairly apparent, that they can be reproduced in different situations within set circumstances.

External field, what is captured by definition and is left up to our intellect to decipher. The external field is captured by various entities. There seem to multiple institutions (top down hierarchy) that are surviving the external field. Science, Philosophy, Medicine, Law, Finance, Religion etc etc., each has a stake in the external field.  It has captured a part of the external field. Within it is the promulgation of their rules, labels and products. All to survive and subsequently perish uncontrollably. These entities are enmeshed to bring in benefits to the conglomerates or wipe out other conglomerates.

Intellect in evolution has a distinct evolutionary place in the external field. To interpret danger and to problem solve situations, reliance on intellect is paramount to survival. The constant operations use intellect to propagate themselves. They seems to be a particularly useful method of increasing pack, because of their inherent nature. It has enabled fine institutions to build and thrive.

Intellect has parameters that it has to function in, just like mathematical parameters, I have given examples above. It labels and it seeks to apply particular rationale to the external and internal fields. It uses fundamental principles to build large complex things also. With its proclivity towards characteristics that apply to a repeat operation it dovetails very well in being a valuable tool for the denizens of the external field.
