Greetings dear Terje,
I am not sure that this is your first contribution, but I think it is.
Please allow me two specific comments. To get into anything, even into
trouble, the essentiality fruitfulness ("connect-beget") has to be
honoured. The 7Es are like your bull metaphor -- two of them are the
horns, four of them are the legs and of them is the tail ;-) You took
sureness and spareness as the two horns. >From this I detect like that
famous English detective Sherlock Holmes that you come from a basic
science or engineering background.
I want to keep the rest of my reply very short. For it is clear from your
marvelous contribution that you have learned a very deep lesson yourself.
Each of the 7Es depends very much on the other six 7Es for learning it. If
you do come from a basic science or engineering background, it makes your
accomplishment so much more profound. So I wonder whther I am a Sherlock
Holmes or not merely his fumbling assistent Dr Watson.

Allow me my second comment. There is a vast difference between "rote
learning" and "digestive learning", although they might look superficially
the same. My heart cries at all the learners whose "digestive learning"
had been degraded by the system" into "rote learning" by pulling out their
teeth. A bay is born without teeth, but over some twenty years all the
teeth have emerged. Some of these emergences were from painful
bifurcations as mothers know very well. The pain of pulling them out soon
after having had them, is adding insult to injury.
These "learning teeth" are nothing else than the "inner noble thoughts"
which the wise teacher Socrates once spoke about. They emerge through
bifurcative learning at the ridge of chaos. It is with them that we do our
"digestive learning". Clearly, the system did not pull out all your teeth.
You must have given the system quite a few bites to prevent it. Poor old
Socrates, he had to drink the poisoned beaker for not allowing his fellow
Atheners doing the same to him.
>Each of the 7Es correlates positively with the others;
>sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly.
Amen
With care and best wishes
