All truth is local; local individual, local cultural, local universal. That
is due to the SAMENESS emphasis required to validate a truth in that X
'feels' the same as all other 'truths'. SAMENESS is a LOCAL resident since
truth requires PRECISION. There is a fundamental 'feeling' elicited by part
of your brain that ties truth and syntax together where truth is related to
OWNERSHIP, to TERRITORY and so the distinction of MINE (note the local,
personal emphasis) and NOT MINE.
'Flocking' behaviour, where the individual only makes local distinctions and
so interacts with immediate context that in turn interacts with 'its'
immediate context and so on 'up' the ladder, is not inherent in the
individual, only in the individual in a group. This is like the distinction
of electrons and their 'lumpness' when in a relationship with an atom. On
their own they can have any energy state but in a relationship with an atom
that is state quantified.
Thus the 'flow' of electrons can be interpreted as a 'flocking' behaviour; a
result of RELATIONSHIPS and as such, from this can emerge 'truths' but only
as long as the switch is on :-)
