Things are either Void or they Exist. That makes reality Binary. It comes from a 0, then when existing its a 1, a line coming from a point. When becoming aware and looking back, we now have two distinct states, and from the view of existence, the line, the void has to be a circle. From this is create all other forms.
The original existence is an Object. This is also the top classification in AI theory of language, represented in programming languages as the base class of everything. In the book Artificial Intelligence A Modern Approach from 1995, the basics are described in natural language as the structure of thought.
Everything is an Object, which means they all inherit the quality of existing, and of being material, from this original state. But a flower is not a cat, even if both are objects. The flower is a Plant, and the Cat is a Mammal. This creates a divide, which now looks like this
Object - Plant - Flower
- Mammal - Cat
as a tree structure of species. If we are talking about My Flower or My Cat, which may also have names, those belong respectively to the classification of being a Flower and a Cat, but they are individual existing objects.
If we look at this from the view of existence and beings, the topmost category is formless, it is a "monster". Once we decide that it has 4 legs, or two legs, it becomes a more narrow category called a "beast". Then different species appear in again a tree structure, where their characteristics are more defined.
At some point we have "humans", who again are divided into races, and at the bottom "individuals" who have names. But in some way, they all retain the base connection all the way back to the original "monster". The state of being formless, a 0 which just turned into a 1.
Through this, we are being limited more and more, the further down we are, the more specialized, the more limited.
The monster does not have language, it only has a binary understanding of reality. Its behaviour is only to "repel bad things" and "attract good things". This is done by
attacking things they do not like, and
baiting things they do like.
Any vocal expression serves one of these two roles. Monsters are formless, so they can't have more refined behaviour.
Beasts on the other hand, they have species- specific language. They have standardized sounds which makes it possible for them to help each other. They can signal "danger" and make everyone of their own species escape. Or they can signal "I need help", or "there is food here", all sorts of simple messages with a single sound. This way, they are communicating a
message, which others can understand. Other species can make use of the communication, a dog barking can alert grazing animals of danger, birds can cooperate with bears by leading them to a bee hive for honey.
This is still at the level of practical language with fixed contextual meaning. To evolve beyond this, beings must have the concept or function of "information" as an objective thing. A representation of the external world which is
adaptive. This is the basis of culture, science, and magic.
What happens if the power of language, is taught to a "monster" whose only two behaviours are "to repel" and "to bait" ? They will learn sounds which appear to be language, but they will not have the concept of it being "information". They will only use it for their two base behaviours. Teaching them will not work, because they understand things only as hostile or useful. There is no objectivity for them, and they will become like an educate psychopath. They become better at attacking what they don't like, and better at baiting what they want. This is because to them
information exists only as DNA. Learning is only cross-generational. Their base reaction to any threat is to attack it. They will keep doing this for as long as they are alive, and the threat remains within their range of perception. They will not be, as individuals, taught to not attack what they feel is hostile. The only way for them to not attack something which they consider hostile, is if this individual perishes, and only those who do not have this behaviour are allowed to pass their genes on. As such, learning to them is only through the slow process of generational evolution. Individuals cannot learn, other than becoming better at their two base behaviours.
Then imagine evolution for a long time, produces "monsters" who have the ability to refer to the external world through an internal representation of the mind. This still exists only as a subordinate function to "attack or lure", but it exists. If a spirit of higher function gains control of this body through possession or incarnation, they will be able to use this function for spiritual development, although the DNA itself doesn't recognise anything other than the original Binary behaviour.
Then the "monster" can bypass its original primitive state through gaining of a soul population, which is able to overrule the original behaviour, even if this behaviour is still hardcoded in their DNA.
There may be benefits to doing this, as the "monster" retains its original state of being very close to creation from the Void, making the monster, should it learn higher magic, a potentially more capable practitioner than someone of a more refined species. This would be why souls would want to be incarnated as "monster" despite their primitive state and lack of restraint.
For this being to transfer "information" although no objectivity exists within, external artifacts or "infrastructure" can be used, such as written language carved into stones or written in books. This means they are in some way 100% reliant on ritual items for their magic or evolution to function, but at a high level of generational refinement and evolution, they may be able to represent external "artifacts" in their own internal representation of the external world, creating words and characters as "artifacts" which to them appear to be physical objects even though to everyone else they are immaterial.
To present a message to someone else in a form which serves the purpose of "objective information", they would have to use "intent projection", which is shaped as one of the two behaviours of "repelling" or "baiting", but still has a layer of meaning beyond this.
This would be the way to bypass the restriction of the "monster" class, and through its formless state, reach a more potent form of magic practice. I wanted to create an aid for this, which as I worked on it, turned into a
focal lens for "intent projection". It is represented by this sigil
