What is the term for the "conceptual binding force" that holds the "A"
together? The "A" itself but abstractly when this pattern is repeated not
only in letters and numbers but also in concepts and assemblages of
concepts, words and names? For example how does this relate to the episteme
and semantics?

Medium - in Tibetan mysticism I visualize the seed syllable "Hung". What is
the medium here, i.e. the relationship of the "always material" to mind?

Is there a paradigm of "A"? Is this geo-centrism and a type of chemistry of
memes or ego-centrism and related to grammar? Is "energy or creative effort"
related to the binaries of learning and fundamental tautologies inherent in
any system of thought?
