Summary of text [comment] page 29

[In order to appreciate how the Aquinian definition of “venial” sin may be rendered by the intersecting nested forms, I start where the last blog left off:

Mortal sin alters the horizontal axis into:

denial of law^essential₃(sin₂(dispositions^rewarded₁))

If you consider the mortal sin as distillate, the mash might be something like:

thoughtlessness – lack of consideration of consequences₃(sin₂(this feels good or lessens the pain₁)).

The mash sure seems to correspond to the scholastic phrase “disorder of means”.

Venial sins are thoughtless and impulsive.

In a sense, venial sins mark spontaneous, situational and inchoate interpellations by the excluded vertical nested form of think^group(sin(conscience^lacking)).

These interpellations become more compelling – more and more “speaking to me” – once a venial sin becomes a habit.

Prayers and admonitions are important tools in quieting these interpellations.]
