To Grok (...or a post scriptum on the previous post)
Once a person internalizes a unifying theme (symbol, idea, connection, pattern, symmetry, invariance, isomorphism, etc...) underlying a set of objects, or an ensemble of objects, the self of that person molds itself into the unifying theme. But, that is an incomplete picture. For there is also randomness or variation that is always outside of any particular internalization's ability to also internalize. Even if there were a theme that could explain all observed variation in existence, as soon as a person internalized it, there would exist variation that could not be explained by the internalization, merely because there was an agent that was internalizing it. Or in other words, as soon as a self attaches itself to a model of reality, from its subjective point of view new variation comes into existence, even though from an external observer there would not exist any new variation. What is this new variation?
