Unemployment, for example, is a traditional issue for any number of general institutionalizations in various terms of population, natural resources, technology, education, beliefs et cetera. And it is a very real problem in that (typically)
unemployment subject some dynamic, likewise institutionalized belief is 'genuinely pejorative to the well-being and viability' of some one or other social or civilizational constituency. Under some particular set of 'beliefs' then, solving
unemployment is essentially routine insofar as 'all related variables and their manipulation' are unambiguously institutionalized. -'The real issues and variables of evolving society', on the other hand, are 'discoveries which have yet to
be institutionalized', knowledge which, de_facto, subsumes and disqualifies those beliefs (above) by more appropriately organism-whole considerations. [The 'vestigialization of pecking order' -or religion, for example, is inherent the 'the nature and course of human evolution and progression' (Part 2, above) -and clearly pejorative the well-being and viability of the organism-whole, so what do we do about more generally assimilating that 'vestigialization' and (operational) institutionalizing it in some way towards that well-being and viability?]
Presented in this Part 3 is an analysis of 'language and words as an encompassing-whole vehicle of the human phenomenon and things human'. What is developed is a reconstitution of 'issues and variables' such as limits it only to 'material new to the
organism', material -phenomenological, that we have yet to institutionalize, material that in fact subsumes all else as routine/situation from out of which we have no choice but to evolve and progress. There are four sections to this Part 3: 1 - a short introduction identifying the specifiability of 'issues and variables' where society is essentially ignorant of the relationships of its problems to 'evolutionary process and a certain destiny intrinsic of human evolution'. 2 - primary partitioning of 'language and words' as variables into two subclasses of (a) phenomenological variables as the only variables of 'proper issue construction' and (b) pseudo-variables (conjurationals) of which 'no issue of transportable substance (Part 2, earlier) can be constructed' (eg 'hunger' and 'god' respectively here -elaborated below). 3 - secondary partitioning of 'language and words' ?constructible (transportables -item 2a, above) into three subclasses of (i) what can not be an issue by fact of unknowable futurity, (ii) what cannot be an issue because it is, rather, a truism (phenomenological) identifying some state or condition about which nothing can be done ('prolonged hunger kills'), and (iii, next 'section 4')-
4 - 'what we are left with' -uninstitutionalized issues that we have discovered and are destined to address (above) -education, for example, that repudiates (and supercedes) 'values' of ANY kind; (ii) a reconstruction of all
government towards dirigiste heurism; a repudiation of (mantra) 'the economy has to grow' and its 'economics' -and of 'stock-ownership', and (iii) the 'outlawing of lobbying and election-fund-raising', for example.
[Those impatient with the style or material may skip to 'what we are left with'(*c).]
Introduction
The 'Phenomenology versus Noumenalism' of 'Language and Words' Following discussion identifies 'capability of complete and unambiguous encompass of the human phenomenon and things human within the nature of language-and-words' -complete, in effect (from Part 2), to the identification of the source of all 'issues and variables' under human genetic imperative -'inevitable miscegenation and a vestigialization of pecking-order and belief in religion' among them, for example. Following next, and based on Organizational Aspects of 'The Human Phenomenon and Things Human', is 'a formal development of issues and variables' with examples along the way. The 'substance' of our being -of 'knowledge of the human phenomenon and things human', is partitionable into three, distinctly different domains the sole agency of which is our language-and-words: Phenomenological material is unambiguously defined (or so definable) and is therefore also identifiable with consistent use or routine -'static' and institutionalized in that sense. ['I earn my living by laying bricks' or 'I am a theoretical mathematician'.] Conjurational material cannot be so defined and cannot be held to such use therefore, but is also (i) 'static' by fact of essential non-resolvability ('unaddressability') and (ii) institutionalized by fact of anyone's 'holding or belief in it' [eg 'Democracy is the best form of government'].
Hermeneutic material is that of decision-making in general into (typically) some combination of the other two -it is uninstitutionalized and uninstitutionalizable (except ad_hoc, more below) because, implicitly, there can be
no pre-existing mechanism of understanding and assimilation for new-to-human experience or situation.
'The evolutionary nature of knowledge', notably (P1, above), is itself constituted solely in/of that 'purely phenomenological material'(*2); it is possible therefore, to identify transportability with EVERY element or aspect of
material ever ideated -institutionalized or not, insofar as anything of 'a probability of manifestation or obtenance' can be transportably associated with its 'substance' (probability itself, transportable material) -possible to identify, further,
a 'validity of material with which to optimize, humanely, human evolutionary process whole' (Part 2, earlier):
1 - Every item of phenomenological 'material', anything of transportable substance -the elements of grammar included and even the 'idea' of god, has an associable 'figure of validity' which either (a) is determinable by likewise explicitly
transportable mechanism or (b) has some inherently 'indeterminate' aspect about it and may therefore make it evaluable (or not) only by dynamically heuristic, hermeneutic process 'making it a matter of increasingly improving statisticality' (time)
-'unanticipatable eventualities implicit the nature of life' for example.
2 - Conjurational material has, intrinsically, no validity in the course of human evolution by fact of non-transportable substance -but 'existing' nevertheless (noumenalism -inherently circumstantial), it is subject to decision
regarding 'its humane vestigialization as inherent that nature and course -a hermeneutic matter' (next).
3 - The validity of hermeneutic material -of decision-making regarding (a) 'unanticipatable eventualities implicit the nature of life' (item 1, immediately above) or (b) 'conjurational material', is determinable ONLY by knowledge of
this herein material -by knowledge determining and determined by (heuristically) 'the best way to take the human phenomenon and things human into best well-being and viability of the organism-whole' ('intrinsic
aristocratization' -Part 2). In transportable, 'quotidian' terms of the title then (issues, variables et cetera), (1) phenomenological material is that of as-existing, transportably known mankind -'the transportable human phenomenon and things human' of operating society and civilization; (2) conjurational material: 'noumenalisms inherent evolution out of neonate ignorance' -and determined to vestigialize in that organism-whole course, and (3) hermeneutic material: that of 'society and civilization evolving and heuristically progressing under genetic imperative and deliberative capability', in essence, 'the unaddressed material of circumstance and eventuality'.
Phenomenological material (transportable substance) -institutionalized and static, is that of 'goods and services, and their production, distribution and consumption' which includes (a) routinely operational structures-and-mechanisms
of society, civilization and government/economy -all research and 'discovery' included, and (b) the registration (and assimilation) of 'eventuality or momently discovery' where due process or routine for such exists (*3).
Conjurational material -also institutionalized and static, but of non-transportable substance, is that of political, ethical, religious and other 'beliefs to be vestigialized'(*4) -essentially by 'incorporation (next) of
knowledge regarding (eg) miscegenation, monoculturalism, secularism and other practices inherent (Part 2) the evolution of deliberative capability out of neonate ignorance'.
Hermeneutic material ('quotidian' terms, above) is that 'decision-making' as it is today of either transportable and non-transportable substance -of which however (from above) only 'phenomenological' has validity and 'conjurational' is to be
vestigialized.
(*5)
[2] Legislative process is, typically, one of 'incompletely transportable situation and eventualities', and may have, consequently, all three aspects about it. There is first, an 'initially unambiguous', codified mechanism for undertaking analysis
and legislation (eg, U.S. congress) and, second, the 'hermeneutic' process which entails analysis of conjurational material (eg 'religious freedom' or 'ethical campaign financing') and development of what is (typically) 'heuristically accommodating
legislation'. Thus, the resulting legislation may be inherently 'hermeneutic' as in civil law, or 'intended to be unambiguous and consistent' (phenomenological and 'static') as of criminal law -but inherently subject to 'unanticipatable
eventualities'. As to 'issues and variables' then, we either deal with what we identify unambiguously and consistently -phenomenological material (The Matter of Forensic Integrity), or we continue 'bumbling our way out of the human condition'. There are, simply, 'NO valid conjurational issues or variables in the matter of human-organism-whole well-being' -no 'validity of religion, ethnicity, morality, ethics and pecking-order in the nature and course of human evolution and progression'; there are only phenomenological issues and variables -and the 'hermeneutic' decision-making (material) thereof.
The Further Partitioning of Phenomenological Material: What Cannot Be An Issue, What Is Not An Issue, and What We Are Left With ('in the nature and course of human evolution and progression') 'Phenomenological material' (therefore, above) includes both (a) explicit formulations and (b) ideations which 'may be so formulated by means of unambiguous language-and-words consistently used' -of special interest here, for example, (a) validity (calculable usefulness or 'propriety') and (b) the ideas of 'decision-making' and 'a reconstitution of government and economy' -further examples: (b) 'the vestigialization of religion' and (a) the agencies or 'tools' for that vestigialization: people, pencil-and-paper, procedural rules to be used, the place of decision-making et cetera -but NOT the decision-making process itself. 'Issues and variables' then, is material in which one has to make decisions -not of 'a formulaic nature' ('routine to us', described above), but those hermeneutic by fact of essentially 'unencompassed' experience, thus phenomenological material can be further partitioned so as to single out exactly this such 'unassimilated' material:
What We Are Left With -Discovered In The Nature and Course of Human Evolution and Progression (and still to be institutionalized)
'Left' now are 'constructions' every individual whole of which is institutionalized in the grammatical sense of its grammatically institutionalized elements, but every individual whole of which is not institutionalized in the sense of discussion
regarding (eg) 'inevitability and organism-whole nature and course', thus we can identify 'the vestigialization of pecking order' as discovered and institutionalized by grammatical element-and-substance, but the construction-whole operationally
not. -Biologists and anthropologists generally find this easier to understand than other professionals.
[(*i) Religion plays a major role in all societies thruout the world, so much so that 'it is impossible to vestigialize it without pejoratively reverberating consequences' as in Ataturk's Turkey and Lenin/Stalin's USSR. 'Deliberated vestigialization thru appropriate education and due process' on the other hand, suggests a certain system stability; thus we might consider-
Following next is brief discussion of the particular case of 'sustainable resource use' from this now substance-limited last domain of 'discovered but unstitutionalized issues and variables'. The idea of 'sustainable resource use' is of fundamental importance in this development in that (1) 'It is genetic imperative that drives the viability of the organism-whole', but (2) 'It is the use of resources (/environment) under that (deliberative capability) that determines how that viability (well-being -nature and course) is met'. [Elements of this relationship are discussed in Gross Demographic Changes Attaching Sustainable Resource Use and Economic Note 7, Global Warming and Other 'Geological Time-frame Matters of Economic Interest'.]
-Appendix 3, further, is A Selection of Issues 'Discovered' in the Course of These Writings(*h), all of which, notably, are in one way or another 'subsumed by the matter of sustainable resource use'.
(*b - Appendix 4) 2 - Life-style-and-quality (therefore) will stabilize (heuristically) about an individual energy expenditure 'common to the organism-whole and optimizing that well-being and viability' -'domain of potential life-style-and-quality expression' therefore, also 'common to the whole' (next).
3 - Population numbers, distributions and functions (therefore) will stabilize by 'optimizing organism-whole best-well-being out of best sustainable resource use with respect to and accommodations for physical peculiarities of the
resource/environment'(*a) -'arbitrary diasporation and aristocratic (classical) exploitation of cheap natural resources and labor' vestigializing therein.
4 - The stabilizing human-organism (therefore) will be progressively mean-age older -but of life-style-and-quality generally determined by 'validity of expression' -with respect, that is, to 'how one earns and expends his allotted
energy as affects organism-whole viability' -that 'how' determination, a continuingly and successively intellectual 'machine that (heuristically) goes by itself'.
[*f - unmaintainability of 'high lifestyle-and-quality']
-As to institutionalization then- What we can say for certain about 'Heuristic Government and Economic Policy' (Part4) is that the future of 'the human phenomenon and things human' depends solely on (1) properties of the configuration-space, (2) econiche change affecting base-domain requirements, (3) (the fact of) deliberative capability mining 'the nature of the organism and its configuration space', and (4) man's capabilities for 'optimizing the nature and course of the organism-whole out of sub-whole circumstances pejorative to that optimization'. 1 -'Properties of the configuration-space' constitutes an envelope of potential viability (geological time-frame) for organism evolution. 2 - 'Econiche change affecting base-domain requirements' is at least initially a function of evolutionally classical 'organism new to the econiche' dynamics -and evolving human influence therein. 3 - 'The nature and course of human evolution and progression' depends -further, solely on deliberative capability for successive knowledge of 'the organism and its configuration-space'.
4 - 'Optimization capabilities' depend, further still, on knowledgeable manipulation of sub-whole factors and situations that are 'pejorative to that evolving organism-whole nature and course'. 'Organism constitution will stabilize' then, by manipulating 'an increasingly knowable nature and course of the organism-whole in increasingly knowable affect of an econiche of increasingly known properties'.

(*d) Appendix 1 There are two modes of heuristic process: (1) experimental, in which 'ignorance', in effect, is 'discovering what happens if I (we) do this, that or the following', and (2) demonstrative, in which a teacher of some kind is in fact 'educating to what happens when I do this, that or the following'. The whole of human experience, in this sense, and all government, consequently, is of this first, experimental, nature in that the resolution of 'problematic situations new to the organism -circumstantial, precipitated or serendipitously arising', is a fact of 'deliberative capability and its investment of the configuration space' -a fact of life. Dirigisme, on the other hand, is defined as "economic planning and control by the state" (Webster's Third New International Dictionary) -which, more or less broadly then, includes all government of any kind or level in that everything human is 'economic in nature'. Virtually ALL government thus-far however, is a function of evolutionary circumstance -which means that it does not generally reflect 'the long-term nature and course of this human organism and its econiche' -knowledge we actually have, so much as 'the cheap natural resources and labor of cerebrative pecking-order and primitive diasporation'.
Dirigiste heurism then, is that form of government that 'codifies that property of deliberative capability' (above) in such a way (government) as to provide for its own heuristic restructuring by incorporating 'the discovered
phenomenology of the organism and its configuration space' (science and mathematics) to (genetic imperative) the 'best continuing well-being and viability of the life-form'. (See 'Supreme Court'.)
[Notably, dirigiste heurism, reflects the aristocratization intrinsic the uniquely human evolution of deliberative capability -primarily intellectual, however, as opposed to the intrinsically more genetic of prohominid evolution in general.]
Another way of putting it - Dirigiste Heurism makes government and governance itself a laboratory of working scientists, the scientists themselves working in it, also running it -a heuristic hierarchy of heuristic hierarchies.
These are, in this sense, scientists who are free of beliefs and belief-systems -and free too, of 'one-up's-manship and pecking order'. They do not quarrel with each other; they are scientists doing what such scientists want or are
dircted to do; they conjecture 'What happens if ...' and wonder 'How can I ...' -and they try and test and listen to each other's 'statistical probities' -and give way as necessary. -And the
whole of democracy evolving then, 'the laws of the land' too -eventually, are written or re-written only by scientists of stations themselves continuing to evolve as necessary -'the life-form living as long as possible'.
Devoid of 'humanity' as this sounds, it is not; romance and the arts, for example, are elements of human biology; principals in 'the arts in general', therefore, will also be principals in the hierarchics of such government too. [3]
(*e) Appendix 2
If the 'integrity of knowledge' is not addressed during a child's and early-adult's formative education, that 'knowledge' tends to be reinforced as mere opinion because of naturally succeeding focus on more purposeful capabilities toward
adult independence. This generally accounts for the fact that people educated in one field typically have 'authoritative opinions' on material of another they know nothing about, their higher education having had relatively little direct tie with
that early-formed 'essentially mere opinion'. This is a major educational -and therefore evolutionary- problem in that such opinion generally reflects
life-style-and-quality determined (thus-far civilization) by 'pecking-order-based, diasporatively cheap natural resources and labor' -government/economy which inherently lags critically important scientific knowledge regarding 'the nature and
course of the human organism'. In one aspect of this very serious fault of primarily first-world education (the well-to-do in particular, but all others emulating), we might consider how American economics reflects 'free-enterprise, capitalist democracy'
facilitating and purveying to the opinions of 'worldly ignorant, still-learning youth' for anything that can be turned into money -whereas, more properly, the opinion of the learning student should not be engaged for anything except
the specific purpose -heuristic, of developing integrity and continuing breadth of growing knowledge. (*h) Appendix 3 When we refer to an 'issue', generally speaking, we are referring to one or more problematic or unresolved items of some larger concern. What follows is essentially a progression of such 'issues' where the larger problem here is determining the course of human progression under best sustainable resource use -not the kind of 'concerns and issues' we ordinarily think about. That 'larger concern' is a problem, nevertheless, and it and its issues are 'institutionalized', but only to the small degree that many people 'think' about such matters and discuss them, and not in any sense of a more or less organized and dedicated way. There is one statement frequently used in American economic policy that encompasses every aspect of 'the human phenomenon and things human'; that statement is 'The economy has to grow', and 'servicing' this single mantra affects, literally, everything. Following is a progression of 'issues' which embody what is known (science) about man today -but essentially uninstitutionalized. This progression leads to that 'superfically institutionalized' mantra -deliberately and de_facto here -and identifies it as absolute nonsense.
1 - There is, intrinsically, no 'best form of government' for an organism that has evolved to discover 'the nature of itself as solely a consequence of the nature of physical matter and time' -a 'nature of itself', that is, that encompasses the
consequences of the deliberative capability as the sole agency possible for determining (government) 'the nature and course of human evolution and progression'.
(*g - no 'natural rights and freedoms')
3 - The nature and dynamics of a people's 'successive well-being and viability' depends on knowledge -government reflecting 'the nature and course of human evolution' (above), which must then, inherently, reflect (a) 'successive
vestigialization of pecking-order and religious, ethnic and other evolutionary artifacts of early-man, neonate ignorance', and (b) 'heuristic institutionalization successively optimizing that organism-whole best well-being and viability'.
4 - 'The nature and constitution of organism-whole best well-being and viability' is destined to continue evolving (genetic imperative) with knowledge of its relationship to 'the nature and constitution of the resource/environment'. 'Lifestyle and
the quality of life', consequently, becomes successively intellectual as its 'manifest energy expended' evolves from 'pecking-order-based opportunism in diasporatively cheap but successively diminishing natural resources and labor' into
'heuristically deliberated occupation under sustainable resource use'.
5 - 'Heuristically optimizing best well-being and viability of the organism-whole' (then,) identifies an evolving dirigiste heurism imposing (a) 'a communional reconstitution of peoples into a best viable organism-whole -intellectual and
physical properties, characteristics and base-domain requirements' (miscegenation, relative monoculturalism et cetera) and (b) 'an economic attrition of all lifestyle-and-quality which diminishes (computable) the potential of sustainable resource
use'.
