Hierarchy of scale and context in understanding persistence
The insight emphasizes the hierarchical nature of scale and context in understanding persistence. It suggests that the concept of 'turtles all the way down' is fundamental, where each level of existence has its own 'mark of blanket' or context, with the larger scale inheriting dynamics from the lower scale. This interconnectedness highlights a circular causality where context at each level provides an understanding of the coming and going of 'mark of blankets' at lower scales, emphasizing the necessity of context to make sense of varying durations of persistence.
