enlightenment-completeness

[ Category - Philosophy ][ Category - Meditation ][ Category - Essays ]

In complexity theory, there is a concept of reduction, which (at a high level) is reducing one problem to another such that if you were to solve one, the other would also be solved (by using the same methodology you used to solve the first one).

If a bunch of problems are reducable to one another, we call the “class” of problems “complete”.

Why restrict this to computer science though?

I propose a new problems class: enlightenment completeness.

We know there are many routes reach enlightenment, and all of them are weirdly paradoxical. Budhism, religion, secular meditation, etc.

I propose that if you understand one of the methods of reaching elightenment, (say, the Headless Way) then you can just reduce the same ideas to other fields by switching up the jargon.

headlessness
In Douglas Harding’s On Having No Head, he puts forth the idea that: 👉 We have never seen our head 👉 The meanings of things change based on distance 👉 What we perceive as a head is completely different on our head than on others He also states that his findings are in line with those of zen budhism, and more specifically closely mirrors the study of koans
