…the only link between the objective and the verbal world is exclusively structural, necessitating the conclusion that the only content of all ‘knowledge’ is structural.1In our lives, most of our miseries do not originate in the field where the terms ‘true’ and false’ apply, but in the field where they do not apply: namely, in the immense region of propositional functions and meaninglessness, where agreement must fail.2Alfred Korzbyski, Science and Sanity

“Every triumph of knowledge contains one hundred declared beliefs of ignorance.”Isaac Newton (Stoerig, Kleine Weltgeschichte derPhilosophie)”As well as it was an error formerly to consider the old method to be the only correct one, as well one-sided it would be now, to consider it, which has achieved so much, to be dismissed completely and not to cultivate it beside the new one.”Ludwig Boltzmann (Boltzmann, Populare Schriften)

This paper is an attempt to synthesize in written form the perspective of breathing, perception and biomechanics I have heard Hubert Godard articulate on many occasions. I am grateful for his patience and assistance and also for his many references.
