The primary idea motivating the Closed Loop project is the presumption or postulate that all conceptual structure - every idea expressed in any language - emerges from the unmarked/undifferentiated continuum by a process of "motivated distinction", and takes the same general form.

Ideas emerge because they are motivated - by something. They are given symbolic representation -- in sound or in writing -- because maintaining a library of distinctions is convenient in a social context.

By the term "ensemble", we are suggesting a set of primary definitions, traditionally defined in a "stand alone" way, which are are proposing to define and understand as implications of a single basic common underlying general form, which we call the "closed loop".

We are proposing to understand the closed loop as a general common foundation for all types of analytic thinking and models, suggesting that all types of thinking can be understood within a common framework, and thereby linked to one another through this common foundation.

We are exploring an interpretation of this primary "strip", which we propose to interpret as a comprehensive integration of numerous fundamental definitions common to mathematics, ontology and semantics.

We are generating a list of these fundamental definitions, which we are describing as an "ensemble". Each of these terms is found in common usage, but are generally defined independently, in ways which are not consistent and not based on a fundamental underlying commonality.

We are proposing an underlying common form which we believe does adequately describe and define each of these concepts, but does so in a way which shares an underlying common definition which we are proposing generates or contains all these more specific definitions, which see as implications of the general form.

This image shows the hierarchical decomposition of the unit interval in the general form of a "strip" defined in X and Y axes.
