-<fs xx-large>Systems</fs> is the best [[:Word]] I have to describe the way I think and feel. I have a system for everything, thinking, feeling, walking, calculating, arguing, conflict resolution, all these [[:ULTRACOMFY|functionalities of me]] are mainstreamed into system, probably as a way to make them rigid and, by extension through that, predictable, graspable, understandable. I understand the world by trying to understand the systems that govern it.

 Many things I say on [[:Ramblings]] are just an interpretation from //my// personal, highly structured and systematized way of thinking and understanding. In my brain, I put things in a way they make sense to //me//, and that usually means that I try to establish patterns, structures and systems with what may appear to some as "rules" that I prescribe, while really they are just an expression of the patterns, ie. "systems" I have recognized. The [[:Claims]] page, for example, mentions how people can get morally binding claims on things, which is really just a formularized expression of how I think society/people/morality works. It is, in essence, the best conclusion I can draw from the patterns I observe and the knowledge I have gained, leading to pages like Claims or the [[:Statistical Inevitability]] page. These conclusions are not facts in of themselves (even though I may be portraying them as such), they are hypotheses waiting to be challenged and disproven. I do this myself by making observations and trying to find something that could not be explained by the systems I put forth, expanding, adjusting, changing or completely scrapping and starting anew as needed. Formularizing and writing down these systems is one of the primary reasons for the existence of [[:Ramblings]]. It's about my understanding of the world, and I write from that perspective.
-It is important to note that due to this, I will use very specific [[words]] in very specific meanings - even words that already exist out there in the world! For example, I recognized the existence of cognitive biases and learned to correct myself for them long before I was made aware that this concept (I dubbed them "psychological biases" back then.) is actually a real thing. By giving words to concepts, ie. "systems", I recognized myself I will probably cause a lot of confusion due to using those words incorrectly. It may even happen that a word I use to describe things actually describe something completely different! Remember, the words I use (especially page names!) are the words I grew to associate with thoughts in my head, not official dictionary or scientific definitions for things. I hope to provide useful thoughts to the systems/concepts, not ace a word [[Accuracy|precision test]]. To avoid confusion, however, I am always happy for pointers. If what I am talking about already exists and the word I use for it is wrong, do feel free to point it out!
