Logic is an attempt to incrementalize or give an indexable set of steps.
Logic does analogies poorly because all are analogies from its broad view.
A perfect analogy means 1 to 1 * making it a synonym that’s perfect – not an analogy at all.
Logic is flawed when used at too high of a level.
Events are always similar but never precisely the same.
Events require imperfect synonyms. And imperfect synonym is an analogy. And analogy is a metaphor. A metaphor used for logic is convincing but not factual.
Space time creates uniqueness.
When you ignore space-time, you can form patterns. Patterns can be mathematized.
Uniqueness of events are guaranteed unless you throw away certain event boundaries.
Synonyms are metaphors * not the same. Numbers are fundamentally metaphors which lose their meaning -their uniqueness. Flatland. But everything there is, is not flat.
Languages are metaphors for reality. Reality is a metaphor for the blank spaces.
Events are represented by whatever metaphors we have at hand.
All we do is process living metaphors.

Both are metaphors for our inability to predict all event boundaries.
When you “clean up “– you are creating a new event boundary. Another way to say this is you are optimizing the environment to allow enough space for an event boundary to occur without stress. Boredom may be a side effect of space/waiting.
