Begin with the reduction of A to A'. [Perhaps this means to view everything as qualia, even the very functionality taken to be the complement of them, hence more a general significance of the notion, qualia than being merely abstracted from perception?] A' is the reduced form of A, so something has been excluded or subtracted from A, and despite the fact that A' is regarded as being phenomenologically complete, what it is that has been subtracted is also a possible experience. So we can write B = A - A', or equivalently A = A' + B. B, however, as a pure experience, also has a reduced form, B', and so we have a C = B - B', or A = A' + B' + C. The distance between B and B' will be narrower than that between A and A', less will being required for effecting the second reduction, more intellect perhaps and of a subtle kind. Continuing in this way we will eventually reach a point, say E, for which E = E'. This acknowledges that the possibility of reduction is intrinsic to experience, and E, being pure intelligence, subsumes its own possibilities. Thus A = A' + B' + C' + D' + E'. Does this then mean that the equation A = X' has the solution X = A + B + C + D + E? What would such an equation mean? That a fully embodied experience can also be seen as the reduct of a super-real experience? That ordinary experience is thin and dream-like when placed next to its fully awakened prototype?
