[This leads to a question:

What about scientific discovery?

Scientific discoveries alter the way we express lawessential, especially those features that exist independently of us. In Latin, the term is ens reale.

Notably, there is a difference in speed of response for each type of think.

For example, accounts of a new discovery may give political or some other advantage to a particular thinkgroup. They interpret lawessential in their own favor, thus producing an affirmative form of lawdenial. They will claim the discovery works to their benefit. Once these claims are debunked, these interpretations end up as fodder for thinkdivine. The claim itself remains in lawessential.

This fits the definition of “scandal”: “a fascination of the surface that blocks access to seeing deeper”.]
