Because any form begins as an indicated encirclement within an undefined form, and because the event of indication is either arbitrary or without any perceived cause, it must be understood to be indeterminate.
There is no doubt that our forms and our functions are invested with undoubted reality. But that is not the point. When we are caught up in our pursuits, and fully engaged functionally, we have no real concept of our form. When we are fully and properly defined according to any perceived status, we have no real concept of our potential functionality.
Indeed, definitions of form may limit function; definitions of function may limit form Some may say, "Ah,ha! Clearly this means determinacy." Perhaps practically, this may seem so. Yet, virtually all of the current problems in our world society may begin to find resolution when humility establishes as a "universal" truth, the intuitive truth that as we grow, our forms, our functions, our tools, our comprehensive capacities and capabilities change.
This leads me to offering a formal expression of Foundation Theory.

We tend to get caught up in our various disciplines, and we tend to define our very being by what we do. What we do becomes who we are.
Really, it is difficult to sort our who we are from what we do. This is not a bad thing in itself. It ought to serve as a cautionary. We have many social arrangements that reduce men and women into menial roles, a reality that begs the question, "Are we not equal in our humanity?"
With the division of labor, the work of society is meted out to the population. It is not bad in itself to learn a skill, a profession, a work-function, but it is bad in itself to limit fitness either through decree or restrictive educational process that entails an arbitrary and coercive conditioning.
Social wrongs always stem from a social effort to fix individuals or groups into forms that have limited functionality. The justification is always for the good of the country, or for the sake of peace and good government, or because 'God wills it'.
If we fail to honor the duality of the generality, we elevate Form to a static affair, and prune functionality to satisfy the rigid formality...or we elevate Function to the rigid process of Ritual, and
deny the ultimate Formality as a present influence.
