There are very dense complicated uber philosophical technical terms sprinkled throughout which makes it a bit hard to get through.

I do have to get to this. I need to finish Ziporyn’s Penumbra Unbound first. I look forward to comments.

Yes, just started it today. I am hoping that it will shatter my Western perception of the classification of things into the categories of "Same" and "Different". I am getting through Arthur Koestler's The Act of Creation as well, which at first glance, I didn't think would work well together with "Ironies of Oneness and Difference" but then realized that Koestler goes into the idea of the bisociation of matrices......which needless to say is sort of what is going on with the concepts of "Same" and "Different" to become the Chinese concept of Li which can be somewhat vaguely translated into English as "Coherence" (but is not limited to that English term alone).
It all comes together at some point. Perhaps you’ve found that point. I shall have to root about in my Koestler box.
