 Walk-through of the planes of your consciousness. Windows into the facets of your cognitive architecture. Tiers of composition and deconstruction — perspectives for unbinding from our conditions. This is not metaphysical speculation. This is consciousness technology — the methodical cultivation of clear observation and natural release from conditions.

From the octagon of framings in the human life-cycle. Via the elemental movers and shapers of all situations. Into the roots of seer-seen polarization and the couplings in the mirror. Binary tensions atop the host fields of emptiness and fullness. Welcome back to the tree of primaries in lucid awareness — witness it well and unbind from the mesh.

**Cognitive architecture.** Planes of metacognition. Windows into observation and witnessing. A quick walkthrough. We look at a basic stack of perspectives in ascending order of abstraction. Each of these is a vantage point yielding insight when you recognize its presence and invest your attention into it.


### Base Tier — The Framed Human Domains ¶

At the base tier, our human embodiment — the framed modalities of our life-cycle.

**One.** We land here into a specific presence, a psychophysical vehicle crafted by nature. **Two.** We open our eyes, observe and orient to an environment. **Three.** We open our hearts, impressions and feelings brought in by the environment. **Four.** In the interplay of insight and feelings, aspirations and potentials unfold.

**Five.** Determinations are concentrated, will and way are asserted. **Six.** Entering the field of works, engagement in transformation. **Seven.** The aggregation of our yields, the integration and reconciliation of our essence. **Eight.** The culmination and alignment of potentials, the consummation of our life-cycle.

Then, at the base tier of metacognition, in the octagon of human framings, we were the _Present_, the _Seer_, the _Feeler_, the _Wisher_, the _Willer_, the _Worker_, the _Reaper_, and the _Fulfilled_.


### Intermediate Tier — Elemental Influences ¶

Then, to the intermediate plane — the quad of influences, the elemental movers and shapers.

**First.** _Earth_: Foundation, structures, blueprint, the subject matrix. **Second.** _Water_: The flow, the adaptation, the cohesion, the reflective continuum. **Third.** _Fire_: Reaction, transaction, transmutation, catalytic interaction. **Fourth.** _Air_: Dispersion, coverage, pervasion, relational significance.

Then, at the middle tier of metacognition, in the quad of underlying dynamisms, we became the _Structor_, the _Adaptor_, the _Reactor_ and the _Relator_.

Then, we've covered the composite models, the windows of observation. At the baseline, the octagon of human framings. In the intermediate, the cross of elemental dynamisms.


### Primordial Tier — Indivisible Bases ¶

Let us then continue into the underlying indivisibles.

We meet the base polarity, the root compositors. **Seer** and **seen**. _Energy_ and _matter_. _Consciousness_ and _substance_. Initiator and receptor. Giver and taker.

In their midst, we have the **mirror**, the threshold membrane. The field of meetings and becomings, of unions and transformations. Where _consciousness_ meets and _intermingles_ with _substance_. Here we are, at the zenith of the _tree of becoming_.

Underneath, we have the animating tensions. **In** and **out**. _Expanding_ and _contracting_. _Unifying_ and _specifying_. Joining and splitting. All of this, in the neutral womb of **emptiness** that hosts the realms of **fullness**.


### Collapse from Sources to the Mesh of Complexity ¶

The primordial hosts of _nothing_ and _everything_, the preformative fields of existence. Of there, the _tensions_. Toward fullness, toward emptiness. _Inward_ and _outward_. 

Of there, the polarized coupling. _Observing consciousness_, _creative agency_ — and _formative potential_, the _receptive fabric_.

Of them, the _subject structures_, the _cohesive adapters_, the _catalytic transactors_, and _relational significance_. And of there, into the concrete process stations and concern domains of our human lives.


### Fabric of Consciousness — Unbinding Methodology ¶

None of this is a matter of metaphysical speculation. We speak of the composition and deconstruction of the fabric of our consciousness. We recognize these windows, we _observe through them_ — and in that, we liberate ourselves from the _bondage of these frames_. We are not these frames, individually or in diverse combinations. We have no need to assert identity into any of them. 

These are simply windows into what is, instruments of engagement, facilitating the dissolution of your fractured subject shell and your reintegration back into the fabric of actuality — as it is. The dynamisms of existence as they are, without you seeking to manipulate them in your favor with a subjective agenda.

Actuality is naturally unveiled with the shredding of the _subjective field of distortion_. The windows we have discussed, the _planes_ and _facets of metacognition_, they are there to help you identify the knots of your bondage, to recognize the _domains of your conditioning_, to help liberate actuality from your subjective grasp.

We do not seek to liberate ourselves. We seek to liberate the world from the grasp of our tentacles — and in that, _our liberation is consequent_. There is _no you as such_ that could be liberated. There simply is _what is_ — _as it is_.
