Kas yra laisvumas?

• Laisvumas yra ribotumų neigimas.

HelmutLeitner: Andrius, I have enormous difficulties in understanding the term "slack", probably because there is no clear translation to German (a kind of "looseness", a kind of "coal product"). It seems somehow related to the idea of entropy, which means that different realisations (choices) are possible in given physical constraints. So there seems a relationship to "freedom" and of course the explicit relationship to "good" that seems to depend on "choice" in my thinking.

Andrius: Helmut, the slack that I mean is the opposite of taut. A rope may be slack (loose) or it may be taut (tight). This looseness is strange to talk about. it is even strange to conceive, as it doesn't make sense statically. We need to conceive it dynamically, as either increasing or decreasing.

Slack is an opposite

• Slack is a marked opposite in isolation. (As with good without bad).
• Slack is good. Slack is the Structure of good. Good is the Spirit of slack.
• Slack is the basis for the assertion that God is good.
• Slack is an anti-structure.

Slack is zero structure that matches with recurring activity

• Slack is ZeroStructure. It is important in Factoring, SharedUnderstanding and the Operation [AddThree +3]. Slack is related to the fact that +3 takes us completely around the Threesome. It is also related to the fact that, in the sixsome, there are three shifts in perspectives to match the three perspectives.
• Slack is the ZeroStructure that is central to RecurringActivity in that it allows for the loose relationship between Structure and Activity: structure channels activity and activity evokes structure.
• Slack has to do with recurring activity - the shift without the channel.
• Slack is a generalized ShiftInPerspective. This is made possible if we make the identification of Spirit and Unity because that introduces a cyclic nature into the Threesome.

Slack is the difference between everything and anything

• Slack is the difference between Everything and Anything. Anything is everything plus slack. Everything goes beyond itself, whereas anything recurrs - it goes beyond itself into itself.
• Slack has two representations - increasing slack Beginning and decreasing slack End. Their unity is Perfection.

Slack is opened up by redundancy

• Slack is somehow intimately related to the identification, in the human outlook, of Spirit and Unity.
• Slack is perhaps related to the way that Internalization injects the Threesome into the Foursome and thereby introduces Virtue (and Good).
• Slack is related to Redundancy as in the ten commandments (both doing good and avoiding bad).
• Slack is related to Coinciding and redundancy of the outlooks from inside and outside oneself.

Slack is the seventh perspective, the one which precedes the eighth perspective

• Slack is the SeventhPerspective. It is the sum of the human perspective.
• Slack is related to GoodWill.

Try to define slack as arising from the equation 4+3=7 and consider starting with the foursome given by SpiritVStructure and derive the seven kinds of choices, where slack is simply choosing.

How is slack related to consciousness, internalization and the collapsing of the foursome into the threesome?

How is slack related to Factoring and to injecting the primary structures?

The PrimaryStructures help us understand this cyclic nature of the Threesome. They array three human perspectives in a cyclic threesome, and then three God perspectives are shifts between these perspectives. Then three more human perspectives are shifts into these God perspectives. They takes us from God's outlook which may consist of three, two, one or no perspectives. As the size of the divisions unfolds (Onesome,Twosome,Threesome,Foursome) we have the nature of God collapse (wishing for Everything, Anything, Something and ultimately Nothing) back into himself, allowing for GeneralStructure and that which may live outside God.

I didn't think about slack until my friend Steve Bonzak talked to me about it. He is a Christian of deep faith (and went to seminary just to learn more) and is also a devotee of kung fu. So it was very interesting how he worked to find harmony between the two.

Steve said "slack is good", and I thought about it, and realized that I very much need such a concept. Moreover, I think we can say more strongly, that "good is slack". In other words, slack is what defines what is good.

Slack is important structurally because it is a self-standing opposite. We want to be able to say that there can be good without bad, truth without falsehood, etc. A helpful way to look at this is that God wants ALL of the good, and for much of the good this means that he must accept some bad, but nevertheless there is also good that does not require any bad. So then we can say that good and bad are opposites, but good does not require an opposite, so it is a self-standing opposite.

I think that the division of everything into seven perspectives, what I call the sevensome, is the structure that defines slack - it is in the seventh perspective. But I need to think more about this.

There are two ways of thinking about slack: it is either increasing or decreasing. We can't picture it static. Increasing slack is self-standing, it is "good" unbounded. Decreasing slack is not self-standing, it implies there is tightening, it is "good" bounded, and in a sense, "bad", but in the sense that where there is bad there is also good.

The goodness of slack is very much that of good will - we can always show good will, just a little bit more. This is the decreasing slack. There is also good heart - ever increasing slack.

Loosen is an interesting word because its opposite is unloosen which means just about the same, but here again I think that unloosen implies that something was tight, so there is a subtle distinction.

Gap is related to slack, but a measured gap is no longer slack. So you can't force slack.

Slack acts like an anti-structure, it eats up structure, which is important so that we could have the collapse of structure.

Also anything is everything plus slack. Good is the coherence of slack, that is, the unity of the representations of slack. God is the coherence of everything, life is the coherence of anything. So anything is everything plus slack means that Life is the fact that God is good.

===Anti-structure===

Anti-structure is a way of thinking about Slack as the disappearance of structure, as if an acid ate through it. This is necessary as a way to conceive of the Operations on the larger divisions by which they may yield smaller ones, as when [Sevenaddthree 7+3=2].

Of the six Representations, it seems that four of them (Everything, Anything, Something, Nothing) add structure, whereas two of them (Observer, Observed) take away structure. So the latter are perhaps closely related to anti-structure, especially as they are the RepresentationsOfSlack.

Two representations: Increasing slack (questions) and decreasing slack (answers)

Redundancy is related to slack.

Thought: The [seventh perspective] is the person's outlook as that of slack.

Nuodėmės priežastis yra teisingumas, griežtumas. Užtat reikia malonės, kad vienas kitam atleistumėme, o tai išriša nuodėmę. Teisingumu žiūrime siauriau, siauriname laisvumą, einame link tiesos nieko apimtyje. O malone didiname laisvumą, einame link tiesos visko apimtyje, žiūrime plačiau. Tad teisingumas yra laisvumo mažinimas, o malonė yra laisvumo didinimas.
