6+ I describe this process as the three states of cognitive viscosity—syntactic,
7+ propositional, and homotopical—each of which manifests across four levels of
8+ depth: category theory, Grothendieck yoga, cohomology, and supergeometry.

10+ Initially, within the framework of Martin-Löf Type Theory (MLTT), thinking
11+ is rigid and constrained, resembling reinforced concrete. As one progresses
12+ through the mandala (a metaphor for a structured path of thought or reasoning),
13+ the experience of fibrational "breathing" (the dynamic, flexible interaction
14+ of type structures) becomes apparent. This process involves immersion in
15+ identification spaces (equivalence classes of types or structures, where
16+ different representations are seen as equivalent). Over time, the calculus
17+ of types and structures emerges, not merely within these identifications but
18+ as an intrinsic feature of their structure. This reveals the presence of
19+ computationally intractable gaps—holes in thought that cannot be computed,
20+ referencing undecidable problems or phenomena that resist formalization or
21+ computation within the system. The laws of normalization (reducing complex
22+ terms to a simpler or canonical form) accelerate the complexity of patterns
23+ to such a degree that the system approaches a state of homotopical viscosity,
24+ where the reasoning becomes increasingly entangled and resistant to further simplification.
25+
26+ Ultimately, the final mode of reasoning eliminates all homotopical equalities (removing
27+ redundancies between topologically equivalent structures) within the system of infinite
28+ universes of two distinct types (a reference to type hierarchies and universe
29+ polymorphism in type theory, where multiple "levels" of types exist).
30+
31+ A being that has eliminated all isomorphisms up to homotopical canonicity (removing
32+ redundancies in the types and structures that preserve their topological or higher-order
33+ identity) within the system of infinite universes (infinite hierarchies of types)
34+ perceives reality as it truly is. This claim refers to the idea that, by resolving
35+ all equivalences and redundancies in mathematical systems, one may approach the ultimate,
36+ most refined understanding of the structures governing reality. "As it truly is" refers
37+ to the idea of a reality whose structure is perfectly captured by these refined, canonical
38+ mathematical models, unencumbered by the computational and cognitive limitations that
39+ typically obscure such understanding.
