    There are only two numbers in Nature. 12 and 21. Where 12 and 21 are different, yet, very much, the same. Explaining identity, complementarity, everything in mathematics, everything in technology, everything in biology (therefore, everything in physics and philosophy) (ontology and epistemology) (all disciplines).

    Stairway to Heaven
    Https://Medium.Com/the-Circular-Theory/. 2021.
    The metaphor proves reality, and observation, all of it (the human mind) (and, therefore, a universal mind), is unified, made possible, and controlled, by the conservation of a circle. Metaphorically 'speaking'…pi in mathematics is the technical term for the word 'mind' (any context): the stairway to heaven (and-or hell)… (See, Also: Magical Thinking).

    Self-Referential Recursion
    Https://Medium.Com/the-Circular-Theory. 2018.
    We all have ‘two’ ‘stories’ to tell. One we tell to ourselves. And, the other, we tell to the outside world. This is, technically, called, ‘self-referential recursion.’ Identifying the 'singularity' in Nature.

    The Singularity
    Intelligent Design Center. 2022.
    The 'singularity' in Nature is a concrete-abstraction (think: tokenization) of the circular-linear relationship between 'me' and 'you.' Also, known as, 'me' and 'me' ('you' and 'you'). (Any and every 'me.') (Any and every 'you'.) Explaining the ontology, and, thus, the epistemology, of technology and finance (physics and psychology) (biology and philosophy). The abstract 'object.'

    Intelligent Autonomy
    Https://Medium.Com/the-Circular-Theory/. 2019.
    Zero and one is circumference and diameter (of an always-conserved circle) (an object-oriented singularity), demonstrating, and, therefore, proving, intelligent autonomy (the self) (self-referential recursion) in all disciplines.

    The 'Singularity'
    Https://Medium.Com/the-Circular-Theory. 2022.
    Conservation of the Circle is The Singularity that controls the relationship between Mind and Matter (Abstract and Concrete ‘Reality’). Explaining Why 50–50 is the Only Constant in Nature. Why All of Us Are Held Hostage by Magical Thinking. Explaining the 50–50 Ups and Downs in all Disciplines.

Why All of Us Are Held Hostage by Magical Thinking. Explaining the 50–50 Ups and Downs in all Disciplines. An Abstract Circle Joining and Separating any X and Y Controls Everything in Concrete Reality. The Neutron and the Proton provide the Prototype for this Relationship. Explaining Why 50-50 is the only Constant in Nature. Observation provides Half of the Picture (the Other Half remains Hidden at All Times). This Forces Observation Errors in All Disciplines. The Circular Theory Universal System Architecture Overcomes Observation Errors. Clarifying the Relationship Between Human and Machine Intelligence. Dramatically Improving the Performance of Modern Computers and Human Performance in All Systems. Once it is Fully Understood. Circumference and Diameter are the Technical Terms for Zero and One in Technology, One and Two in Mathematics, Explaining All of the Symbols Humans Use to Inter-React with Nature. The Circular Theory Diagram and the words 'Conservation of the Circle' is the only Error-Free Concrete Abstraction (The Singularity) for What Humans Experience as Reality. (What Nature Experiences as Itself.) The Circular Theory Diagram shows the Circular-Linear Relationship between a Circumference and a Diameter (A Zero and A One). See The Ontology of Mind, also by Ilexa Yardley on PhilPapers.

    The Cryptic Universe
    Intelligent Design Center. 2022.
    Information, and, thus, technology (any and every system and-or discipline), depends upon the tokenization (and, thus, the conservation) of a circle (one zero and one one) (one circumference and one diameter). Explaining the human mind, the ‘abstract object,’ and the cryptic universe. Where any (and every) ‘universe’ (think: unit) is totally dependent on the circular-linear relationship between abstract and concrete reality (which is fully accessible (and, thus, only, understandable)) via the Ci…Read more

    The Information Economy
    Https://Medium.Com/the-Circular-Theory. 2022.
    Everything in a human 'universe' (a human mind) depends upon finance. This is because finance is the tokenization, and, therefore, the conservation (the representation) of an uber-basic circle. One zero and (or) one one produces an unlimited number (variation) (combination) of zeroes and ones. Which is exactly what is happening in all disciplines (philosophy, physics, psychology, biology, technology, media).

    Mereology and The 'Singularity'
    Https://Medium.Com/the-Circular-Theory/. 2022.
    There is a conserved circular-linear relationship between an individual and a group (a part and a whole) (half and whole) (whole and half). Explaining mereology and producing the 'singularity' (a universal theory of everything, all disciplines) (which may be impossible for humans to accept).

    Why Mathematics Can Never Explain Reality
    Https://Medium.Com/the-Circular-Theory/. 2021.
    Why Mathematics Can Never ‘Explain’ Reality: Well, for one thing, as everybody knows, there is no ‘Reality.’ All symbolic systems require the conservation of a circle, which is the core, and, thus, the only, dynamic in Nature. It is not possible to have X without Y (X without one other X) because it is not possible to have a circumference (a zero) without a diameter (a one). So, this proves the token for 'tokenization' that is necessary for general relativity (more technically, universal relati…Read more

It is not possible to have X without Y (X without one other X) because it is not possible to have a circumference (a zero) without a diameter (a one). So, this proves the token for 'tokenization' that is necessary for general relativity (more technically, universal relativity) (what humans call 'reality') requires duplication (which is, technically, another word for negation). This explains why identity is another word for 'representation' and, always, vice versa. Where everything in Nature is a token for (what humans know as) the arithmetic number 'two.' (Because it is impossible to have a half without a whole, and, again, always, vice versa.) Technically, negating all of the 'numbers' (all of the symbolic representations) humans assume are 'realities' in Nature.

Tokenization may appear as a transformation. But digging deeper we can observe (when we're ready) there is no such thing as a transformation. Tokenization (the correct word for transformation) is the conservation of a circle, explaining IOP (what humans perceive as 'transformation' 'representation' 'tokenization' a 'process' of any kind' (nouns and verbs in general) etc).
