Object Transformation and Containerization
June 25, 2025
A new model of seeing existence
Objects, humans, and groups are but outputs and inputs. You can draw boundaries around things, “containerizing” them. For houses, cities, and towns, containerization is necessary so that different mental conceptions can be separated.
Humans
Humans have primary inputs of vision and sound. Vision itself has the real life, but also digital text, video, pictures, which hold meaning. From this input comes ideas, which causes the human to generate actions.
Actions may be physical behavior, words and ways of communicating, manners of speech, things created, daily habits, the manner of dress, the way you live.
Say one creates a magazine: this is the transformation of ideas, pictures, and videos into words, design, websites, and paper.
I am too often in my brain, so I don’t produce that much outward emotion. The times I do, it usually is real. Others seem to just live more emotionally or generate their emotions. For many, this object-transformation containerization way of thinking is unnatural and seems to remove the charm from life for them.
Houses
Houses take water, packages, and electricity as inputs. These can be metered and specified. Trash, recycling, and sewer are outputs.
You may think you need a television or a large sofa, but these are elements of consumption. You just as well could have numerous shelves with label stickers and host social gatherings. This turns your living space into an object transformer, increasing your material power.
The meaning and significance of education
At its most fundamental, education is about climbing the mental hallucinations (abstractions) that already exist. Learning how to use a Macbook or certain software is education. Understanding the train timetable or how Earth’s rotation affects flight duration time is education.
Knowing that some people react in specific ways based on certain outputs you make is social education.
There is also the “education” of compliance-teaching: repeating the same things regardless of their truth. It may be that certain models of reality are not exactly accurate, but they’ve existed for a long time and it would take many years to change people’s view on things. For example, according to Ray Peat, the Cell Membrane Hypothesis may be no more realistic than the four humours.
It is known by right reason and the teachings of the Ancients that man is a mundus minor. As the great world is governed by the four elements, so too is man’s body governed by the four humours. This is no mere chance, but the very signature of God’s design, linking our nature to the seasons and the stars in a perfect, ordered harmony.
The structure and function of cells are critically dependent on membranes, which not only separate the interior of the cell from its environment but also define the internal compartments of eukaryotic cells, including the nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles. The formation of biological membranes is based on the properties of lipids, and all cell membranes share a common structural organization: bilayers of phospholipids with associated proteins. These membrane proteins are responsible for many specialized functions; some act as receptors that allow the cell to respond to external signals, some are responsible for the selective transport of molecules across the membrane, and others participate in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, membrane proteins control the interactions between cells of multicellular organisms. The common structural organization of membranes thus underlies a variety of biological processes and specialized membrane functions, which will be discussed in detail in later chapters.
You should see education as a series of inputs and outputs. You must find the most organized and efficient way to take inputs (lectures, slides, documents, books) and turn them into satisfactory outputs (tests, projects, exams).
You should see work as a series of inputs and outputs. You take in meetings, drafts, customer requirements, and create outward presentations and projects to others.
Books are about creating understanding from examples.
If you are good at designing and video editing, you will transform simple things into appealing end results.
Sometimes you may have to create things that are unreasonable from your own perspective because your superior asks for it. You can agree in action and spirit, agree in outward appearance only, or disagree.
Suppose one is a doctor and has to prescribe certain useless drugs. They know they must continue doing this, even if it is unethical, or they will lose their sustenance.
Ideally, you are aware enough of future paths so that you can purposely avoid the morally disagreeable ones.
Bedouin attitude involves being good at object transformation to increase material wealth and community. Ideally, once you get to a place of acceptable material wealth, you can focus more on the community.
