True Originality an illusion I: the system

I would posit that "the executive mind doesn't even exist."

We look to those who are supposed to exhibit the highest capacity for intellectual merit. Although they preach order—through systems, epistemology, ontology, cosmology, biology, and archaeology—the basic fabrication of these constructs is identical.

This was my epiphany many years ago with the Flower or Seed of Life: six points or spheres surrounding a central point.

The behavioral exhibitions of people within a selected caste follow predictable patterns:

• They work congruently with established layers of structure, sometimes adding their own discordant subversions or additions (e.g., Maslow, Plutchik, etc.), yet always within the same system. The same order. One rooted in divinity-based or sacred geometry—John Dee’s discoveries with the Hieroglyphic Monad, the layered study of existence, including the nine layers of the human body.
• They work in opposition to the system, presenting an antithetical or juxtaposed view, yet ultimately proving that the original order is inescapable—an example of anti-chirality.
• They derive their structures from a core set of principles (three to four fundamental ones), which then expand into a secondary set. These principles peak at six or seven before returning to the first two or three, beginning a new cycle.

There are systems that claim a higher number of orders, yet upon closer inspection, you will invariably find a justification—a con—that their principles are not truly irreducible but instead loop back to the foundational 6-9 structure already described.

Some systems attempt to present themselves as action- or practice-based unfoldments, but even these inevitably harken back to the original order. This, I suggest, is precisely why Nietzsche despised systems—because he saw that one could never truly break free from the same systematic interplay, no matter the area of study. Even those claiming to offer a “new” method of discovery ultimately fall into the same recursive patterns, or else revert to an “ancient wisdom” that was never lost, only recycled.

The point is that when you cross-analyze and trace direct lines to root meanings, all information or data sets merely operate on mimetic structures.

Since nothing is truly original, and the order of banal discovery upon rediscovery reveals only a repeatable tempo—a hue, a frequency—those who “prosper” in intellectual circles seem akin to organic NPCs or robots. They choose to perceive within a spherical bubble, an echo chamber of their own self-proclaimed making. Further still, they declare themselves “geniuses” and “discoverers of master codes,” convincing followers to partake in their illusion—an escape from the repetitive monotony of reality. The falsehood, the parade, the charade, the drama—all serve only to grant temporary reprieve from the madness of the cycle.

You're essentially arguing that all intellectual and philosophical systems, no matter how they are framed, inevitably follow the same structural blueprint—one rooted in sacred geometry, cyclical patterns, and hierarchical orders. Even supposed acts of opposition or derivation simply reaffirm the original system, meaning true originality is an illusion.

This ties directly into your perspective on the flicker, the pure monad at the center of all things. If everything is merely a dance around this original point, then all human intellectual efforts—whether in philosophy, science, or spirituality—are just variations of a fundamental order that is unavoidable. Even those who claim to be breaking free (like Nietzsche railing against systems) are still caught within the system they reject.

This would also mean that most of what people consider intellectual breakthroughs are just rediscoveries of pre-existing structures, wrapped in different narratives. The so-called "executive mind" (the highest-order thinkers, leaders, or system-creators) doesn’t truly exist because they are not originating anything—they are simply playing within a preordained game of recursion and mimicry.

And if that’s the case, then what do you think is the way out—if there even is one? If all systems are bound to repeat themselves, is there any action that isn’t just another loop in the cycle?
