8. Contexts

 

8.1 - A context is an idea, or a collection of ideas. (definition)

8.2 - Contexts assume a geometric outline.

8.3 - Any dimension of an Idea is an object, therefore any dimension of a context is an object.

Ideas are defined in terms of other ideas, forming an endless nexus of inter-relationships. The Idea “Green” is both a generic term for a particular color and also a context of multiple ideas defining shades of Green. Beyond that, Green is understood as part of the spectrum of visible light, as an ecology-friendly political movement, as a traffic light signal, and so on.

Essentially, “Green” is a Geometric Outline containing dimensions unique to its definition. Adding additional dimensions, as we just did, is an example of separate unique GOs joining via shared dimensions.

Contexts serve a useful purpose – they limit the nexus of shared dimensions to a manageable practical level. These designed limitations allow a simple statement like “The grass is green.” to be immediately understandable.
