Your posts are simply too good.
So -
- a whole buncha' people lost in mis-understanding (semantics).
How do we make language clear?
We need to ensure that people
- when they communicate
*know*
when there's any room for mis-understanding in their communicating partners.
How?
By ensuring that the ideas which people are communicating are inter- nally logically consistent between the two partners?
That one understands the other - that the other understands the one
- not because they're speaking the same language
- but that their language is forged from the same underlying structure.
Those structures will need to be the same -
and will represent a connection between logic and knowledge
- a common model
- a common shared model of reality
- representing a structured 'Theory of Categories' as the starting point -
the global infrastructure from which words are then forged.
~*~
Point
The convergence which need occur, for people to *truly* understand one another -
- will need to be in the structure which underlies the words which people use.
We call this the mind.
The global human mind from which local human minds are formed
- need converge -
- prior to the words from the local human minds
potentially
acquiring group meaning
group meaning == general (all of people) validity.
General validity -
- and we're back around to logic again.
A single internally logically consistent global model from which our individual perspectives grow to become.
The 'Categories' represent the units which need be arrayed into order.
When arrayed into order - the tree structure forms.
Where the tree structure has a beginning and end.
~*~
All of the various category theories are essentially about the completion of a puzzle -
the completion of a puzzle which on completion doesn't mean that we'll come to an end -
- instead that we'll begin again.

Attempt to simplify
Even without any of us (bar wikipedia) storing all of the details in our local mind (at any one time) -
it's clear that we're approaching a seeming end-point in our species' comprehension of reality.
It all (more or less) has begun to take shape.
As it takes shape -
- the general thrust of this argument is that a global structure representing a structured (hierarchical) array of a model for the inter-relationship between knowledge (knowables)
has
settled into position.
We (individuals) 're like ants -
- offering up sacrificial

explanatory models of reality for the global structure's appr
ovalaisal
- and then waiting to see if those models become incorporated into that
(if so then just that little bit more simplified) global structure.
The simpler model wins.
The simplest model with explanatory capacity over 'all of reality'.
The simplest model represents a global minimum.
So -
what's the mechanism for model to be selectively pruned towards idealized (perfect) simplest structural form?
The mechanism would appear to be the analogue of the shortest distance between two points being 'as the crow flies'.
The quantum wave collapse model appears to result in the crystallization of the one shortest path between two points
- where immediately prior to collapse
- all possible routes are taken.
Attempt to suggest that the mechanism of quantum wave collapse -
is shared (perfectly) -
with the model of convergence in models (of local minds) into a global mind
- into a global mind (a very specific structure - the structure of a web)
from which perspective
- the perspective at the local (individual) level
- the collapse
of the global waveform of mind into 'enforced moral consistency'
at the local level
will
be
seen.

The choice of philosophy over psychology seems correct
(your other thread?)
- it is impossible to think clearly until philosophy has been structured
- separated into categories and then arrayed into that single internally, logically consistent, hierarchical, recursive global structure
- that all people (until generation of that structural form)
are
feeding in their lines of enquiry (perspectives,observations,explanations)
towards group convergence.
Local contribution ->- Group convergence in the global structure of mind ->- Local enjoyment (of restructured society)
Ahhhh!
From which vantage point we realise why all higher degrees are labelled 'philosophy'

- knowledge has been being acquired to build
not (as we have thought)
- a model of the external Universe
- instead (more appropriately considered)
- an internal Universe
- a model from which our minds then operate
(A working single blue-print to inform our 5-10 billion unique perspectives)
- a mechanism of permitting us to (unlike in the case of external reality where we can't seed our own reality)
- a mechanism for us to
'create our own
internal/local reality'
