compressed image
of the Tree of Life
is unique
their representation schemes
draw on a common pool
rooted in
the preprogrammed neural vocabulary
of human motivation
and action
which we might term
the polti vocabulary
after polti's 36 dramatic situations
being a vocabulary of elements
that can be arranged
to compose dramas
and while the maximum size
of a polti vocabulary
is still uncounted
we can at least
theoretically
rank the indivdual elements
by how familiar they are
across all compression schemes
and we can assign colors to each
in order of familiarity
with red-yellow-blue primaries first
and subtler mixes following
so a dullard's Tree of Life
might be limited to colored stars
of the dozen most-primary hues
while a proust tolstoy joyce shakespeare's
has a million different shades
movies books newscasts
teevee-series networks
teachers schools
etc
can be ranked by
their depth of shading
shallow polti vocabularies
may be
pollyanna shallow
or beavis and butthead shallow
or gw bush shallow
or isaac asimov shallow
or donald trump shallow
or paris hilton shallow
(all subtle vocabularies
are alike
but every shallow vocabulary
is shallow in its own way?)
