Pragmatic Thought (Chain 1)

Evolution of Forms vs Development of Forms.

The mutually conditioning nature is exemplified by ideal science (empirics and ideas).

Use is itself an evolved use of prior use.
+
Successive evolution of 'terms of use'.

These parameterize the conditions in which future things are made useful.

A dynamic process, whereby the conditions in which knowledge is developed and applied is 'brought along' in the specific terms in which it has been developed (to the exclusion of other possible paths) through successive 'use of use' (recursivity).

(Statements about things, identified in a verbal way follows this general pattern).

The parameters are useful because they are useful, but they are useful because they have created the conditions in which the things which are useful are useful (within those parameters), have themselves created/affected the conditions in which the usefulness of the parameters are made useful. (retroactivity)

This retroactive mutual conditioning of usefulness is the starting point of dynamic stability, which is necessary for the reproduction of things in time.

Of course, there is necessarily (at least) a third criterion, to which the usefulness of the parameter is referenced.

But the the forward movement of time itself, ie, forward movement itself, is the product of usefulness. The retroactivity of certain underlying conditions gave rise to the usefulness of this forward movement.

What are these conditions? (and what are their use?)
