There is but one law - that duality is a single complement. That each of us exists does not equate to differences, just that each of us is not each other. There can be many I's to the soul, each I being I

Nature is not exclusive, except by nature.

Sophism: Sound arguments Sophistry: Sound but hollow arguments:
Sophistication: Manipulation: The application of force to sophistry.
In modern language the above: Sophism, Sophistry and Sophistication: are usually demeaning terms, yet the terms derive from the Greek (Sophos~Wisdom Sophia~Wise). Wisdom is an expansive force and in being so confronts the primal force of attraction. Wisdom is the application of force that conjures the change of mass in space.

  1. The law of mass and gathering: Attraction
  2. The law of movement between masses: Kinetic energy
  3. The laws of expansion: Force

In the animal kingdom and less obviously in the plant kingdom

  1. The law of acquisition: Feeding
  2. The law of sophistication: Agriculture in the case of humans
  3. The laws of civilisation: Laws accepted as common to a group

Starting from a human civilisation view with the use of sophisticated tools I acquire food and other comforts. The basis is that as part of a nations kingdom I have common civil privileges that I can call upon, without which I have to use my own ability to be sophisticated enough to acquire all that I want using the basic laws of nature.

Movement is the basic law that is the asset that animals have over plants. The kinetic energy of mass alone can damage plants. With a degree of sophistication that force can be directed to other less able animals also

Sophists were popular partly due to the nature and culture surrounding ancient Greece. Athens was a famously democratic state among those not enslaved: every free person was able to have their ideas heard in the ekklesia, an assembly made up of citizens who helped make governmental decisions. Citizens were judged on their attendance and their participation in the ekklesia and often sought out Sophists to teach them basics of rhetoric in order for their ideas to be heard and considered. The rhetorical teachings from the sophists became valued by many Athenian citizens until the fallout between the sophists and the philosophers a little later on.[citation needed]

Sophists became popular following the development of thought and society in Athens, in the fifth century B.C. They offered practical education with teachings that included speculation on the nature of the universe as well as the art of life and politics. They believed that law was an agreement between people and that justice is non-existent. Among the Sophists, Protagoras, Gorgias, Prodicus, Hippias, Thrasymachus, Callicles, Lycophron, Antiphon, and Cratylus are the best known.

Sophistication is in direct conflict with nature. Modern definitions include quality of refinement — displaying good taste, wisdom and subtlety rather than crudeness, stupidity and vulgarity.[1] In the perception of social class, sophistication can link with concepts such as status, privilege and superiority.[2]

It is seen that humans have a more sophisticated use of wisdom than other Earth inhabitants. Starting from birth the young human grows to think it has almost unlimited powers given the support from parents, family, tribe, nation, religion and species but as a person ages they see the power is all sophistry and so the need to cultivate a civil and sophisticated society becomes the function of the person ever more aware of their own weaknesses and the habits they are accustomed to.

This cultivation is of the human mind to convince it to conform to societies abiding laws. It is of little use is someone can grow their own food and be independent it would seem. Yet as all land is up for grabs it is only the privilege of local laws and the strength of the enforcement that I can buy land, contain it and reside away from further sophistication.

All I can do is to stop myself from becoming more sophisticated by avoiding becoming dependent upon the most intrusive laws, those that insist I pay the asking price to be an acceptable member of a group. So groups are the first avoidance and yet given my frailty I an subject to the more ancient laws that I have become accustomed to, but no more, thank you.

So I try and retrace my fear and see the simple natural laws may be applied in many cases. I spend as much effort as possible considering the laws of attraction and consequent movement. I know that the movement of attraction must end and become a force to reckoned with, something that only sophistication can deal with and I loath to become more sophisticated
