PPP, Part 13, Interpreter Module, Avijjā, Saṅkhāra

Greetings, Friendlies. :)

What happens if we take the Interpreter Module, Avijjā (as mis-understanding how our minds work), and Saṅkhāra (as “principle of construction“), and puzzle-piece them together?

At least one arrangement gives us an Interpreter Module which is receiving information that is, at best, limited and conditioned, at worst, inaccurate or grossly incomplete (Avijjā). This interpreter does not have insight into its own functioning, it does not know what it does not know (also Avijjā). With whatever information it does receive, the interpreter constructs meaning about the world (Saṅkhāra).

One must be careful overlapping/cherry picking betwixt and between conceptual frames. That’s why Learning in Public. If I write this all in the safety of my (metaphorical) forest hermitage, my interpreter module and I may go fantastically astray. Thanks for being here to reign me in. :)))

So. Interpreter Module, Avijjā, Saṅkhāra. Your thoughts?

With friendliness!
