“Many Protocol” (Last updated: 2019-09-06; 18:46 CDT)
[See Appendix 2 for some interesting definitions.]
- 1. Let there be A and B, which comprise a group G. A is a single person. B could be a single person or multiple people.
- 2. Person A considers a move M. M can be (a) physically verbal, physical nonverbal, mental, or even (b) a “non-move that’s still a move.” Examples of (a): a verbal observation, verbal question, a verbal request, a quizzical look, a shrug, eye contact… Examples of (b): thinking about what to say, waiting patiently, waiting patiently with an open mind, leaving the vicinity temporarily…
- Moves can be complex, that is, moves can be made of submoves that are simultaneous and/or sequential in time.
- 3. Now, say, something can be “yay” or “bleh” for someone. And, something can be *believed* to be yay or bleh for someone, *by* someone. And, two or more people, at a particular time, might disagree as to whether a particular something is yay or bleh (for someone or in general). Also, say, for our purposes, that there’s a fact of the matter or a ground truth, that that particular something is actually/truly (contextually, for a particular person at a particular time) yay or bleh, with no other possibilities. And let those possibilities be possibilities for M. That is, we can have a big list (exactly 64 items) of things that could be the case for M, where only one entry/line in the list is true at a particular time. That list is in Appendix 1.
- 4. Now, so, person A selects and makes the best move M they can make, in consideration of as many moves as they have time to consider, and in consideration of the 64 possible classifications of moves (in Appendix 1).
- 5. So, now, the move has been made, and results have obtained. And, now, everyone in G implicitly or explicitly chooses a new A and B(s). Now, go to (1) or (6).
- 6. If things are moving smoothly and slowly, then, at any particular time, with perhaps some periodic indeterminateness, there is only one A and everyone else is a B. If things are moving smoothly and more quickly, then everyone is simultaneously, at the same time, at all times, both an A and B. Now, go to (1).

Appendix 2:
- yay = the true nature of yay must come to be understood over time; one’s understanding will be revised again and again, possibly calling it by many names along the way
- bleh = the true nature of bleh must come to be understood over time; one’s understanding will be revised again and again, possibly calling it by many names along the way
- sacredness = rightly or wrongly it would currently be catastrophically, critically bad if this [sacred] seemingly/apparently/expectedly extremely heartrendingly/body-rendingly good thing X were not actually good/true/real/obtaining/existing/something/etc

- inversion = incorrectly believing that something bad is good or that something good is bad (contextually, generally, universally, something, etc.)
- resignation = deciding (perhaps in the distant past and having forgotten) to never (try to) get some good thing, person, place, situation, context, experience
- deferral = deciding (perhaps in the distant past and having forgotten) to get a good thing (perhaps much, much, much later)
- disgust/revulsion/hate/rejection = response to being seemingly or actually choicelessly/inevitably felt subject to past or expected, seeming or actual (felt) harm/hurt you currently lack the ability to [i.e. can’t] adequately predict, control, or repair with negligible enough opportunity cost
- atonement/reparations/restitution/redemption/apology/repair =

- loving-kindess/kindness/care (metta) = abstract and/or (heart)felt and/or skillful concrete actions arising from the felt desire/want, need, longing of a person (or persons, specific or general or universal) or other feeling/mindful being near or far to be happy/joyful/satisfied/satiated/complete/content
- wisdom = ability to take skillful action; ability to not have to make hard, terrible choices; ability to realize when a choice between bad and worse is an illusion
- self-transformation, cranking [like turning a crank], bootstrapping = the production of wisdom
- on the path = ability and propensity to self-transform, crank, bootstrap no matter one’s current level of wisdom
- full/complete X = X that contains no inversions
- belongingness = being in a stable situation where you are able to knowingly, reflectively accept, receive, experience (relatively or completely) full/complete/non-inverted love, compassion, and kindness, etc.
- connection, mutual belongingness = you get to be completely you, you can go anywhere in yourself and come back with with anything, and so can the other people around you, and it’s ok; it’s safe for you and them, all the way down (ideally)
- wise, mutual belongingness = stable community in the face of uncertainty, inversion, and resource constraints along many dimensions
