[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 multiculture2 is full of ‘diversity’.
There is only one cultivation1: the religion of big government (il)liberalism.]

“Her” garden2 is full of diversity.
However, there is only one garden … one cultivation1.]
[Modernism fixates on the rules of non-contradiction.
And now, 50 years after Schoonenberg wrestled with a Zeitgeist full of false dichotomies, the modern way of thought is dying.
Long dismissed religious and philosophical ideas spring to life.
The concept of the nested form may seem new and bizarre.
But it is not new.
The premoderns wrote according to the nested form without explicitly knowing the structure of the nested form.
Soon enough, the category-based nested form will become routine.
Then, people will look back at the divided moderns and wonder:
How could they have been so stupid?]
[Modernism packs every idea into ‘this versus that’.]
[Throughout history, Christian believers wrestled with heresies that focused on certain relational elements while ignoring the other elements. These heresies distorted the big picture.
Impressions that something was lacking were confirmed by subsequent events.
For example, many heresies often have a way of making some people look better and others look less.
Subsequent events confirm these impressions.]
