When I first became acquainted with the Entish and Extish hermenautics
of logical graphs, back in the late great 1960's, I was struck in the
spirit of those times by what I imagined to be their Zen and Zenoic
sensibilities, the "tao is silent" wit of the Zen mind being the
empty mind, that seems to go along with the Ex interpretation,
and the way from "the way that's marked is not the true way"
to "the mark that's marked is not the remarkable mark" and
to "the sign that's signed is not the significant sign" of
the En interpretation, reminding us that the sign is not
the object, not matter how apt the image.  And later,
when my discovery of the cactus graph extension of
logical graphs led to the leimons of neural pools,
where En says that truth is an active condition,
while Ex says that sooth is a quiescent mind,
all these themes got still more reinforced.

We hold these truths to be self-iconic,
but they come in complementary couples,
in consort to the flip-side of the tao.
