We are subjectively aware of the reality and world around us. Through reasoning and experience our introspection can guide the reasoning by employing logic to understand this reality -our positioning, our relationships- that are the manufactured senses of the psyche* through which we understand our personal cosmic webs in which we exist.
It is through these experiences that we become more lucid**. It is through words, metaphors and concepts that can enhance one’s vantage point to see how the matrix - social networks dynamics / culture / world- works, and behaves to identify patterns through algorithmic maxims*** and truths to deduce the most positive or serendipitous outcomes. This can then further be predicted from probabilities.

*Defining psyche:
A Jaynesian perspective that emphasizes that our conscious interiority (or psyche) is not merely a biological given; it is shaped and reinforced by language, metaphors, and cultural practices.
Thus, the psyche is part of a historically and socially influenced mindset, rather than a purely innate, hardwired structure
**Personal Algorithmic Maxims:
Are concise, guiding principles or “rules of thumb” that an individual derives by thinking algorithmically—i.e., by breaking complex problems into smaller steps and analyzing them systematically. Rather than relying solely on intuition, emotion, or tradition. In simpler terms personal algorithmic maxims aim to incorporate logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and outcome evaluation into daily decision-making.
**Lucid:
Clarity of expression: intelligible.
Road map for discovering lucidity.
Lucidity = Work (deep research) —> incubation to create a moment of illumination grounded by reasoning, introspection, and guided by logic to extrapolate clarity hence lucidity.

The fabric of reality woven through research. The first hint of Lucidity understanding the word, the semantic fields… afterall in the beginning there was the word.
incubation- the budding of the thought, The second hint of Lucidity.
Illumination -Eureka! A profound moment of well, illumination. The Third hint of Lucidity.
The fourth hint of Lucidity: Reasoning and Introspection guided by Logic. The deduction, the extrapolation, The blooming of understanding- clarity of thought.
On Reasoning and Logic:
Reasoning refers to a gamut of natural thought processes in the everyday world- and logic is how we ought to think if objective truth is our goal- while the everyday world is very little concerned with objective truth. Logic is the justification of conclusions we have reached by natural reasoning.
