Think in a floating way.
Without ultimate anchoring.
Think kaleidoscopically.
Change the arrangement and watch what appears.
Treat concepts as distinctions.
Not as parts of actuality.
Do not trust grammar too quickly.
A noun does not yet make a thing.
Do not privilege relations either.
A connection can become a substance just as easily as a node.
Change the reach.
A different reach can transform what can be distinguished as a whole.
Do not mistake readability for Reality.
How we distinguish something does not tell us how it is in itself.
Correct even your own means when they begin to harden.
Follow the transformation of mapping itself.
The type of map co-determines what can appear within it as distinguishable at all.
It is not merely that no map need be the last one.
The very way of mapping changes.
Floating thought is not thought without support.
It is thought without ultimate anchoring.
It does not seek a place from which everything can be determined.
It follows how the very places of determination change.
No amount of better concepts will remove this problem.
Our concepts may be more precise, finer, relational, processual, or floating — they are still ways of distinguishing.
The new language, therefore, is not a solution in the sense of a more correct language.
It is only an attempt to forget less often that we are, at this very moment, distinguishing.
A concept can organize statements.
It cannot, from its own structure, establish the structure of Reality.
The problem, then, does not lie only in the imperfection of our concepts.
It lies in conceptuality itself.
We did not glimpse a new image of the world.
We glimpsed the possibility of thinking the world differently.
Perhaps “thinking differently” does not mean learning another layer of philosophy.
Perhaps it partly means remembering a state in which the boxes were not yet there.
