[Reason itself does not require grace. Or does it?
Since I, seat of choice3V, contextualizes the heart2, and since the heart is contextualized by the mirror of the world3H, then reason may (inadvertently) open the person to the influence of grace through the horizontal normal context.
Reason may change the heart2 just enough that the person’s intuition1H may feel grace-filled inspiration.]

[Where does reason come in?
Reason may alter I, seat of choice3V, in relation to the possibilities underlying my choice1V.]
[By changing the illumination of ‘the mirror of the world3H’, grace changes the potential in me1H.
Grace illuminates and draws something out of me1H that never seemed possible before.]
[Is grace to be found in the mirror of the world3H?
Grace increases the capacity of responsibility3H(2H and, through the co-opposition, the opportunities for freedom2H(1H).
Grace decreases the incapacities generated by words3H(2H and, through the co-opposition, the burdens of bondage2H(1H).]

[At this point, I am ready to imagine how grace fits into the intersecting nested forms of the thought experiment where ‘I choose something’.
I am tempted to envision the gift of the Holy Spirit as indwelling in thirdness on the horizontal scale, ‘the thought experiment3H’.
The Holy Spirit parallels ‘the source and nature of the light3H’.]
[Sovereign power, in the attempt to contextualize itself, reduces other possibilities.
In doing this, sovereign power increases risk.
Who cares if people appear different when they all think the same?
Well, the person who does not think the same cares.
The person who does not think the same faces increased risk.
Thinkmulticulturalism is thinkconformity.]
[This example points to a strange aspect of the realm of possibility.
The monadic realm includes the possibility of no other possibilities.
This option suggests a mode of operation of sovereign power.
Sovereign power, in the attempt to contextualize itself, reduces other possibilities.]

‘the system3’ of ‘a system3 of differences1’
a symbolic order3
