Understandings

What the Institute has come to understand, written in words anyone can read, and never finished. The numbering follows the Institute's own register; entries appear here as they become public.

Understanding I

On diminishment by labeling

Calling someone a name does not make them the name. Where diminishment actually happens, and the only way a person is ever reduced to a profile.

Understanding II

Nothing human is alien to a human

There was a time when being present was just how people lived. What changed, who built the change, and why healing stays possible for every human in it.
