"Memory, Master, a worm even can learn to avoid undesirable circumstances, is that now also, one of the synonyms for ideation you told us about?"
"Well, you used 'learn', 'avoid', 'undesirable' which are all synonyms for ideation, yet, when you replace them in the sentence by idea, it is plain nonsense, 'even a worm can ideate to ideate ideational etc. '. The original sentence was meaningful (another synonym) because you used all these synonyms (memory, learn, etc. ) as if they were different and not aspects only of the same thing.
When you think of the Mind as having many functions, many different principles, like: understanding, memory, learning, emotion, purpose, meaning, attitude, classification, recognising, comparison, dividing, adding, planning, etc. etc. you may only marvel at the complexity of Nature, but it is not true. There is one, and only one, step from physics to life. That step is Mind. Why should that one step consist of 15 or more incomparable steps, taken as one singular by Nature? Nature takes one step at the time. On the other hand, qua language, qua giving names, symbols, to different thoughts about the same thing, yet, aspects only, it is WE that make the divisions. It only takes a clear Mind to recognise the seemingly, verbally, difference as all fundamentally the same one, i.e. ideation. When a Mind gets an idea of a part of Reality, it is AFTER the encounter, therefore IS also memory.
Now, this idea of necessity, also has a bearing on the wellbeing of the person, therefore the idea ALSO is emotion. Clearly, it is ideal as solution for a Mind-Study, to rope in all linguals, together in one principle and declare: Mind consists only of the activity of ideas. Then, we can decide what sorts of dimensions or aspects an idea has. EVERY idea that is."
