A Continuation of the Laws of Thought
In 1842, Sir William Thomson set out to define the necessary laws of thought—a brave attempt to map the inner architecture of human reason. He believed that certain mental operations were not just cultural, but universal—encoded into the structure of being itself.
Just over a decade later, in 1854, George Boole took that vision further in An Investigation of the Laws of Thought. He introduced a symbolic system that could describe logical relationships with mathematical precision—a “calculus of thought,” as he called it.
But Boole’s original intention has since been misunderstood.
While his work gave birth to modern computing, algebraic logic, and digital systems, it was never merely about numbers or machines. It was about freedom—the liberation of mankind through reason, coherence, and the shared understanding of meaning.
Boole believed that without agreement on the meaning of words, clear thinking was impossible. He wrote not to enslave humanity to logic, but to set it free through the clarity of thought and the emergence of a common language.
His was a spiritual project disguised as mathematics.
Today, I continue that legacy through my book in development: Embodying the Laws of Thought. Not as an abstraction, but as an incarnation—bringing those universal principles back into the tongue, tissue, and tempo of lived experience.
To support this and all future works, we’ve created The Lexicon Project:
A living, evolving field of language. A new dictionary for what I call the felt science of being.
This is not a glossary.
It is a consensual map of meaning.
A tuning fork for perception.
A return to what Boole and Thomson were really after:
A logic of liberation, made somatic through articulation.
Language, when precise and consensual, becomes a form of calculus—not to reduce experience, but to reveal its deeper rhythms. Not to box the soul, but to free the mind from distortion and confusion.
Below, you’ll find a selection of emergent terms—some coined, some reclaimed—used in the Lexicon and the broader work of Embodying the Laws of Thought.
These words are not academic.
They are experiential.
Some of them I have invented to bring coherence to complexity, words are how we feel our way into clarity.
This is not just a continuation or adaption of Boole and Thomson’s legacy—
It’s the return of logic to the human instrument they sought to give us all:
The breath.
The field.
The tongue.
The articulation of experience, reason, meaning.
Here is a sample of the emergent words I and our community members are exploring.
Pronunciation: BY-oh-plas-TIS-ih-tee
Etymology: Greek bios (life) + plasticos (moldable, formable)
Definition: Bioplasticity refers to the body’s ability to reshape its form and function in response to tension, tone, experience, and environment. It explains how posture, trauma, training, or perception can literally re-sculpt tissue and identity over time.
Applications:
– Used in fascia release, postural retraining, neurorehabilitation, vocal and facial transformation
– Key to understanding embodied habit formation and trauma resolution
Example: “After months of conscious tongue and jawwork, her entire face had softened — bioplasticity made visible.”
Pronunciation: ih-NAYT in-TEL-uh-jens
Etymology: Latin innatus (inborn) + intelligentia (understanding)
Definition: Innate intelligence is your body’s self-tuning capacity to perceive, adapt, and evolve. It operates beneath conscious awareness, guiding healing, coherence, and energetic regulation across all systems.
Applications:
– Used in somatic therapies, bioenergetic healing, and nervous system regulation
– Central to understanding self-repair, coherence, and adaptive movement
Example: “As she lay in stillness, her breath deepened and her body began to self-correct — a pure expression of innate intelligence at work.”
Pronunciation: NOOR-oh-foh-NET-iks
Etymology: Greek neuron (nerve) + phōnē (sound, voice)
Definition: Neurophonetics is the study of how vocal tone and spoken sound reorganize neural patterning and influence the nervous system. It reveals how vibration, breath, and articulation can shift mental states, regulate the vagus nerve, and entrain new emotional patterns.
Applications:
– Used in sound healing, voice therapy, trauma release, and somatic breathwork
– Foundational to tongue-based resonance practices and vagal toning
Example: “With each hum and vowel sweep, his anxiety dissolved — a clear neurophonetic shift through sound.”
Pronunciation: BY-oh-foh-NET-iks
Etymology: Greek bios (life) + phōnē (sound)
Definition: Biophonetics explores how the expressions of sounds generated from vocal and non verbal sounds, including biological processes influence the structure of biological matter. It’s the study of how vibration travels through the body, rehydrating tissue, regulating flow, and restoring systemic harmony.
Applications:
– Used in vocal fascia work, structured water therapies, and energetic body mapping
– Essential for understanding how resonance influences hydration, detox, and tissue healing
Example: “The practitioner used biophonetics to re-tone her jaw and cheek fascia, bringing warmth and fluidity back into her face.”
Pronunciation: sin-AH-juh-nuhs tok-SISS-ih-tee
Etymology: Greek syn (together) + genous (originating from) + toxikon (poison)
Definition: Synogenous toxicity describes the harmful effects that emerge when two or more agents combine within the body to form new, often unrecognized, toxic compounds. It challenges linear toxicology models by recognizing that the whole can be more dangerous than the parts — especially in complex conditions like Lyme or mold illness.
Applications:
– Used in environmental medicine, detoxification protocols, chronic illness recovery
– Central to understanding hidden, non-linear biochemical overload
Example: “Her symptoms didn’t match any single toxin — it was the synogenous toxicity of chemicals reacting inside her system, beyond synergistic effects.”
Pronunciation: or-GAN-ik IN-fruh-red
Etymology: Latin organicus (instrumental, living) + infra (below) + red (visible light spectrum)
Definition: Organic infrared is the emitted far-infrared light, radiating approximately in the 3.5–14 micron range, generated by organic matter, including body heat. Organic infrared is the precise frequency that structures water, fuels detoxification, and generates internal coherence. It’s not heat for heat’s sake — it’s cellular light, produced by movement, breath, and dynamic charge separation.
Applications:
– Used in sauna therapy, structured water research, and mitochondrial healing
– Central to understanding the body as a radiant, self-lighting system
Example: “The moment she felt the warm hug, she knew it was more than heat, it was light — organic generated infrared soothing her tissues.”
Pronunciation: BY-oh-sur-fing
Etymology: Greek bios (life) + English surfing (riding a wave)
Definition: Biosurfing is the embodied art of sensing and riding your body’s internal rhythms — Microdian, Ultradian, Circadian, Infradian, seasonal, and beyond. It allows you to align with natural energy waves rather than push against them, optimizing flow, timing, performance, and recovery.
Applications:
– Used in chronobiology, somatic coaching, creative rhythm mapping, and energy regulation
– Supports fatigue recovery, nervous system pacing, and performance optimization
Example: “By biosurfing her hormonal waves, she knew exactly when to rest, when to create, and when to move with power.”
Pronunciation: MY-kroh-dee-an RITH-um
Etymology: Greek micros (small) + Latin dies (day) + Greek rhythmos (measured motion)
Definition: Microdian rhythms are short, subtle cycles of sensation, focus, or fatigue that arise within the larger ultradian and circadian systems. These rhythms govern creative bursts, attention shifts, sensory integration, and internal timing — the body’s “micro-waves” of awareness.
Applications:
– Used in breathwork timing, cognitive pacing, interoceptive mapping, and creative scheduling
– Useful for timing breaks, tuning into intuitive action windows, and optimizing short-form practices
Example: “He rode a 25-minute Microdian arc to write, then paused for breath and reset — he was finally working with time, not against it.”
Pronunciation: REZ-uh-nuhns
Etymology: Latin resonare (to resound)
Definition: Resonance is the alignment of frequencies between systems, resulting in amplification, coherence, and mutual organization. It’s how the body, environment, and other beings “tune to each other,” creating a field of connection that can heal or harmonize.
Applications:
– Core to vocal therapy, somatic attunement, relationship dynamics, and energetic healing
– Describes everything from musical entrainment to cellular signal amplification
Example: “The moment she entered the room, their breathing matched — resonance happened before a single word was spoken.”
Pronunciation: en-TRAIN-ment
Etymology: French entraîner (to draw along with)
Definition: Entrainment is the process by which two or more systems synchronize in rhythm, frequency, or pattern — physically, neurologically, or emotionally. It’s how bodies match breath, brains sync waves, and hearts fall into coherence — a core principle of biological and social alignment.
Applications:
– Categories include brainwave entrainment, field entrainment, breath entrainment, social entrainment, and sensory entrainment
– Found in therapy, music, group dynamics, nervous system co-regulation, and wearable tech
Example: “As the group began to chant, their pulses and brainwaves synced — pure entrainment in action.”
Pronunciation: SEL-yuh-ler sy-KOL-uh-jee
Etymology: Latin cellula (small chamber) + Greek psyche (soul, spirit, mind) + logos (reason, logic, study)
Definition: Cellular Psychology is the study of the reasoning and logic embedded in biological intelligence — the implicit “value systems” that guide a cell’s decisions. Every cellular process, from apoptosis to repair, reflects an internal rationale influenced by surrounding cells, environment, and collective coherence.
Applications:
– Used in systems biology, trauma-informed medicine, bioenergetics, and relational physiology
– Offers a new lens to interpret inflammation, cancer behavior, self-regulation, and collective cellular decision-making
Example:“Apoptosis isn’t random — it’s a psychological act of sacrifice: the cell believes it’s better for the whole if it dies.”
