Non-discriminative knowledge (Systematics)

Any situation to which attention is directed is a monad, but some exemplify the systemic attribute of universality more strongly than others. Wholeness is experienced as universal and omnipresent but relative. It may be transformed into identity. Non-discriminative knowledge means functional order than can issue only as automatic behaviour. The combination of confused immediacy and the expectation of finding an organized structure gives the monad a progressive character. It is experienced as what it is, but as holding the promise of being more than what it appears to be. Wholeness may be experienced as being too comfortable to be satisfying.
