There is no real mystery about the structural impossibility of successfully defining objects of desire that can satisify consistenly in a human lifetime. The simple term I want x is Telos bound to a past coneption in time forward.
When the ontology is revealed as lived experience in the present of one time-forward lifetime where embodied lived experiences of the present arise with the information from which judgements are formed using reasons for humans capable of consiously using reason at least sometimes.
The concept of satisfaction is clearly bound to now in relationship with the life being lived in a naturallydynamic ontology and this is an insight gemstone in one time forward lifetime.
Embodied consiousness is emotional and feelings are not reasons, no matter how understanding this makes us feel, the first time we understand its upstream and downstream consiquences locally in our own lives the structure is revealed to us clearly, nobody is to blame for being unable to name what will satisfy tomorrow.
A one step solution with manifold infinities opening the present with iNow processing is required. The ontology is explicit obvious and enlivening for now, in one time forward human lifetime. This dynamic ontology uses evanescent iStates where lived experience and adaptive understanding happen in the present of time forward, before I or Self or Me or We. Now is where every reasoned oppertunity in life arises, being willing to know what is arising from perception is essential for superior cognative processing, any capable mind can understand this now. Self initiation begins when understanding reaches the question: If identity is now obviously no longer stabilized in my life by being over against something, what stabalizes my mind? NOTHING is free, on a way alone alas a loved along the rivverun, past Eve and Adam's from swerve of shore to bend of bay, Mandelbrot. Wiki development 2026 :Initial materials will introduce small observational pieces practices for recognising and stabilising Clear Core iStates. Self-development systems built on imputed self-conception cannot remain stable across changing human media, because identity is not a viable control surface. See Why imputed self-conception breaks under medium shift ... !! For human beings unlike AI an imputed self-conception tries to act like a universal vehicle in a lifelong conversation with I in Me: *one steering system *one orientation model *one set of tools *one identity narrative But when the medium changes, that “self” that in emerges in the conversation has no ballast. So what happens is obvious and predictable: *oscillation (Hyper-Poloi) *Inner Critic escalation *feelings promoted to reasons *identity defence *ad hoc rationalisation Not because the person failed — but because the architecture is wrong for variable media. ! !!!!iNOW !!!!!!Making , Willing-to-Know-Now Evanescent iStates available in the present, while living in one time-forward lifetime awareness. *In a time-forward system, the value of any orientation is exhausted by its capacity to remain revisable while improving what comes next. *Human willingness to know-now is not an achievement of the self, but the natural state of a capable mind no longer required to defend a story. If you already feel something of this direction, the first pages may be enough to begin. *“Act As If” is a stabilising fiction required by systems managing scale. *“Act As Is” becomes available only when a mind can remain present without narrative support.
