How do we relate parts of the universe to the whole? Does having parts detract from simplicity? In a static sense yes, ie parts of an engine. In a dynamic sense NO. The running engine is a dynamic unity, as is the running universe.
Parts are the natural coordinates of the whole, and language, by having elements of speech is also a sort of coordinate system. Language is a static (eternal) version of a dynamic system.
All science is knowledge of god.
The Zen problem of the unspeakable, that is the featureless.

How does formalism relate to reality? Study quantum mechanics. Transformation theory = translation theory.
FEATURES do not contradict simplicity
We explain parts by quantization, that is countable in the transfinite model.

Love is the intersection between intellect and

Communication = intersection [Venn diagram]

We may look at the evolution of life in a more general light as the evolution of art or technology. Just as I am a huge population of trillions of cells that have united themselves under one genetic code for their common good, so is a society composed of human individuals.
The essence of technology is the combination of a common good and a division of labour.
TECHNOLOGY == PARALLEL PROCESSING
GOVERNANCE
Under the heading of technology we have discussed how a common goal can be achieved by division of labour. We have considered the division of labour as an abstract task but we now introduce the fact that the labourers are in fact independent beings, free to enter or leave any cooperative venture. This introduces notions of value, justice, truth etc which are the public parameters of a successful organism.
