Man. I am getting those particular muscles worked OUT.
Adaptation, revision, intersection. Seems to be working out. Just keep remembering to hold nothing as inherently a priori, and flux can continue from there.

to hold nothing as inherently a priori
What about wa / harmony / implicate order / the tao?

I understand the Tao exists only because when I am at quiet, sensing without the intermediary of my consciousness to jumble the signals, it reveals itself. It continues to do so now. Should it fail to do so, then one of three things is likely the case: I am not actually quiet and something is interfering, my position to the Tao has shifted, or the laws of physics are changed.
What's more: the Tao of my footsteps is not constant, as I am not constant. It is not universal, as I am not universal. A thing that is neither universal nor constant cannot be taken for granted; to do so is to impose arbitrary definitions upon it and/or yourself. While arbitrary definitions have their place, it does not seem... right, yet, that wholly arbitrary definitions occupy more than the space they require in my life of yet.
Granted: all of the above is essentially speculation. Just the same, spur of the moment digging through the meat has its place.

Much of the above is true,
but it also reinforces the notion that the Tao et al. IS a priori
even if it might be an a priori beyond any hope of our grasping and an a priori of endless mutability and elusion.
I don't think your insight tells us there are no a priori in this world, only that we can not take any a priori "for granted", to quote your words.
