Can you give two or three practical real-world examples of where this line of thinking gives you some insight?
For example you use the U.S. and, sure, it can be useful to think of every country that isn't the U.S. So if someone says "C++" it can be useful to think of every computer language that isn't C++.
But the rest of your "-verses" didn't give me any reason to think of them in the future.
Can you give a few more real-world examples and the insight you gained? Why is this useful?
One thing I find myself reaching for contextual logic a lot is in analyzing film and other creative output. You can think of a stage / screen as a whole, where each individual element you see on the screen is a topic to analyze. The reverse of the elements are all the things the filmmaker could have put into the film but chose not to.
You can work out all manner of insights about a film this way. Works well with comic fandoms, legal concepts, anywhere where there's significant amounts of hidden context to uncover, you can use context logic to quickly sketch out an outline of how it all hangs together, and fit all the information you read into fleshing out that model.
I noticed the human mind doesn't tend to be able to work consciously with inverse / obverse. For example, humor tends to leave the scene when you start analyzing a joke. I call these "core" contexts. A lot of insights can be mined out of what you're not seeing. If the inverse is hard to find, maybe it's like that for a reason.
Okay, your film example was super-interesting - but you touched only on "reverse" with it.
Look, as far as I can tell these terms are your own. If you could, would you please give more, illustrative, examples - I know it's hard to do. Like, with your film example.
I'm not looking for a list of domains like "comic fandoms, legal concepts, anywhere where there's significant amounts of hidden context to uncover". This is just a list of all sorts of things.
I would request for you to please walk through exact explicit examples of each of your "-verses". Make an example up and show me the insight. Be super explicit with a specific real example, if you can.
I am on board, due to the example you just gave with "reverse" and films -- meaning, "everything else the filmmaker could have put there." So I'm on board and you have my interest and attention.
Meticulously walk through the other "-verses", while staying with real, specific examples. Try to work hard to make a genuine example that grants insight. I'm sorry to make this request (I'm on board with everything you've written), but I find your abstract definitions too hard to follow. Instead of a single example (like the United States), if you would give specific examples that really give insight (as you did with film above) it would be helpful. Thank you.
See, this is why I don't write about this. It's just interesting enough to get people hooked, but in order to really explain it just takes So Many Words. I really can't clutter up this thread with mountains of text. It's just not that interesting.
I'll tell you what. I've been thinking of doing a context-logic wiki, but just haven't found the right time to get started on it. I think a good entry point would be an email thread. Why don't you shoot me an email and I'll try to give you what you want. You can find my email in my profile.
That goes for anyone else following that wants more of this.
