Cognitive implications of "pre-fixing" Jerusalem "solutions": co-, hyper-, super-, meta- ?

Jerusalem as a Symbolic Singularity (Part #6)

Rather than framing the challenge of "Jerusalem" as one that calls for the situation to be "fixed", there is merit in reframing the cognitive challenge by "pre-fixing" it. This avoids the trap of pre-determining a definitive form and introduces the dynamics of a temporal dimension, thereby avoiding colonisation of the future and precluding future insight. It is perhaps consistent with the arguments of Moshe Dror as coordinator of the Jewish/Israeli node of the World Network of Religious Futurists (Judaism: Into the 21st. Century; Jewish Exploration of the Future, The New Vision for Israel and Zion, 1 September 2013) and of Yitzhaq Hayut-Man (The Temple Vision of Shabbat Hazon, Global Report, 21 July 2010).

From such a perspective any preference for "co-organization" and "co-existence" might be challenged as reflecting a degree of conceptual inadequacy -- exemplified by their use in the current strategic situation. As noted above, organization in terms of "supra-organization" can also be usefully challenged. The argument for superposition invites reflection on "hyper-organization" and "super-organization" -- as implied by understandings of quantum superposition. These variously point to understandings of higher forms of order consistent with mathematical insights into higher degrees of symmetry. In this sense, Jerusalem as "super-ordinate" is potentially fruitful, as argued separately (Using Disagreements for Superordinate Frame Configuration, 1992).

Further insight is offered by use of "meta-", as in consideration of Jerusalem in terms of meta-cognition (36,600), meta-logic (3,850), meta-theory (10,700), meta-epistemology (1,440) meta-discourse (4,240), meta-design, meta-dialogue (213), meta-language (24,000), meta-organization (419,000) or meta-framework (916) -- in addition to meta-physics (401,000). The figures are those of unfiltered web search results at the time of writing for: Jerusalem metacognition, etc. These include studies by institutes based in Jerusalem -- potentially misleadingly.

Such consideration would follow from the credibility of Jerusalem as metaphor (573,000) -- which many have explored (Jerusalem: City and Metaphor, YU News, 15 June 2017). This is especially relevant when understood in terms of the cognitive insights of the classic study by Gregory Lakoff and Mark Johnson (Metaphors We Live By, 1980). The relevance of one such approach is illustrated by the study of P. T. Coleman (Characteristics of Protracted, Intractable Conflict: toward the development of a metaframework, Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, 9, 2001, 1, pp. 1-37).

There is the further intriguing possibility that use of metaphor, especially in creativity, may come to be recognized as a form of quantum cognition, notably in the light of the work of by Douglas Hofstadter and Emmanuel Sander (Surfaces and Essences: analogy as the fuel and fire of thinking, 2013), as a further development of Hofstadter's earlier work (Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies, 1995).
