Low-Attachment Belief

低執着の信念

Something can be meaningful without becoming the world.

何かは、世界にならなくても、意味でありうる。

Observation hypothesis

Meaning Capture is not a single bad ending. It can open toward dependence, or toward a belief that remains local.

意味の捕捉は、一つの悪い結末ではない。依存へ開くことも、局所に留まる信念へ開くこともある。

Dependence is one possible weather after capture. It is not the definition of capture.

Low-attachment belief keeps the meaning and refuses the monopoly. Music and friendship can be coordinates for this: trust that does not require surrender of judgment.

An observatory that describes capture must also leave this exit visible. Otherwise the observation becomes a total explanation.

依存は、捕捉のあとの一つの天候である。捕捉の定義ではない。

低執着の信念は、意味を残し、独占を拒む。音楽や友情は、その座標になりうる。判断の委譲を必要としない信頼。

捕捉を記述する観測所は、この出口も見えるまま残さねばならない。さもなければ観測自身が総説明になる。

One possible reading. Not a verdict on a novel, a believer, or a system.
