Category theory

The human mind is a complex system of thoughts that can be classified as either rational or irrational. These two modes of thinking often seem to be at odds with one another, with rational thought being prized as a logical and objective process, while irrational thought is often dismissed as chaotic and random.

However, in order to develop and connect with other individuals, a balance between rational and irrational thought is necessary. This is because each mode of thinking has its own unique strengths and weaknesses that can be used to complement and enhance the other.

Connecting irrational and rational thought can be achieved by scrutinizing an irrational thought with the help of logic and reason. Logic and reason are the hallmarks of rational thought, but they are not always necessary when an idea is already at zero entropy, meaning it is mathematically discontinuous and serves no aid to the concept of survival.

Irrational thought forms a whole or a rational conception when it is compared and evaluated against the value of previous logical conceptions. By adding a cautious dose of logical thought to irrational ideas, a monad can arrive at a final, logical concept of an irrational subject.

It is important to understand that irrational thought should precede rational abstraction because reason and logic bring about order and turn continuous, non-terminating irrational thoughts into rational and terminating thoughts. This is where category theory comes into play, as it illustrates how primal thought is always irrational until logic is exerted upon it, leading a thinker to a rational conception of the thought.

In conclusion, rational and irrational thought are not mutually exclusive, and a connection between the two can result in a deeper understanding and appreciation of the world around us. By balancing these two modes of thinking, we can develop a more comprehensive perspective that allows us to connect and unite with others while also achieving our own individual growth and development.

A monad alone is a substance, body is substances, not a substance: nor can one escape the difficulties concerning the composition of the continuum, and other things of that sort, in any other way.
