i am in an accord of sorts, good sir. Obviously the logical model, the paradigm that defines may only be applied to that which we may percieve and define and which we are now refering to as the loop. Yet in order to perceive this loop then we must to some degree be outside of this loop in order for us to even be able to perceive the process. This 'willed' perception is more marked in Daoism and Zen, which have both developed proceedures to enhance (a safe enough word?) this experience.
