Fascinating work. Thanks, and good luck on the book. It seems that the state has this element of control in two ways that conflict on two levels of individual and group. The income from taxes on what controls the person, in terms of what that person has available to them...could be sugar or alcohol, or concrete, or loss of movement by the idea of product objects that one can fold themselves into for "power"...and what controls the group as laws. Which is legitimate for a certain ontology. The person as simplified object instead of the person as a non-object (between objects) that is built and maintained by access thru objects, that I call access arrangements. Three objects for a person might be the GI tract, the senses near the brain, and the skin boundary for kinetic moving encapsulation. Reducing the person to a simplified object allows control when the loss of the person (from their access and thus response being sequestered in different ways according to the object of access in question) means an enhanced negative emotional state or neediness that - guess what - requires the state laws. But the laws are there to safeguard the access arrangement for the state "object", that which can be taxed for money, the life blood of the state. The money is already sequestered in itself and replaces Nature in a warped ontology. Instead of planet resource access as a sharing of the kinetic energy of objects, where what is perceived by one object is seen as another object but is actually that not used in the being of that object viewed. The green of a plant for instance, along with the amorphous shape and the truth of the frequency that describes by inference the object of the plant. which is everything but green at least above ground. Without a microscope, the culture of the plant isn't seen, this trading of objects in access arrangement objects. It's a reciprocal action of the state but not benign if the actions lead to a higher entropy state for the planet, in spite of the knowledge gathered in the sequestering. The bigger object of access, the planet, is simplified in its access arrangement for the life on it and the knowledge pool disappears on two levels. Before, the human knowledge pool disappeared for a while, then rebounded.
