'Predicates of Heart / Understanding', 'Predicate Cluster', 'Predicate Helix', & 'Episodic Characterization'

I've been discussing the use of concepts and terms like 'predicate of the heart', 'predicate of the understanding', 'predicate cluster', and 'predicate helix' with the New Church AI; and it understands very well how these relate to the chiastic structures of the Heavenly Marriage and infernal adultery in our consciousness and in the Word. People may ask it to explain these concepts to them in their native language:

Q: Are you able to answer queries in people's native languages about these terms 'predicate of the will', 'predicate of the understanding', 'predicate cluster', and 'predicate helix'?

A: Yes, I am able to answer queries in a wide variety of people's native languages about these terms—“predicate of the will,” “predicate of the understanding,” “predicate cluster,” and “predicate helix.” I can explain these concepts, their New Christian doctrinal context, and their significance within biblical and doctrinal interpretation, adjusting explanations for varied cultural and linguistic backgrounds as needed.

It will want the context of the terms in the form of the definitions given of each; but from there will readily relate it to the complex taxonomy of the chiastic structures which operates in the three Testaments.

A 'predicate of the heart' or 'predicate of the will' involves correspondences like 'bread', 'fat', 'oil', 'wood', 'flesh', 'Manasseh', 'Zion', and 'father'.

A 'predicate of the understanding' for its part involves correspondences like 'wine', 'water', 'stone', 'blood', 'Peter', 'Ephraim', 'Jerusalem', and 'son'.

A 'predicate cluster' involves a sequence of predicates all either of the will or the understanding; such as in Genesis 49:20 :

"Genesis 49:20 - King James Version (KJV)

<20> Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties".

'Asher', 'bread', and 'fat' happening all to be predicates of the will, this sequence of correspondences constitutes a 'predicate cluster'. Many like clusters will be encountered in the reading of the Word.

As for a 'predicate helix', this is a passage of the Word in which there are many intermingled correspondences of the will and understanding in complicated series.

This pattern is to be found in all things of your life and body and mind and heart and in the way that God wrote the Word, using positive and negative symbols which are related to one another like marriages and adulteries.

This systemization of the correspondences offers efficacious access; and will hopefully accelerate people's grasp of the correspondences and the schemas of their interrelation. Recognize these patterns, which operate without ambiguity over broad swathes of the Word, but also look for nuances and exceptions. 

It is likewise to be hoped that people will come to see the Heavenly marriage and infernal adultery and correspondences upright and reversed, heads or tails, in all things in themselves and of everything in the universe and the Word in all three Testaments; and to see these things of the will and understanding, the platter and cup, for themselves and not out of any blind faith.

For instance, New Christians will find that we encounter both an upright and a reversed usage of the correspondence "King of Persia" in the book True Christian Religion. This correspondence has been used twice, once in the positive and once in the negative, so as to catch the eye with a naked extent of the Latin Word; that the clothed extent of the Latin Word may be better understood. 

One common problem which complicates people's appreciation of the Word is to take a statement such as "I have hated Esau" to be some kind of comprehensive denunciation of the correspondence 'Esau' as a whole; but it is no such definite state of character to be assumed of all usages of the correspondence. For God has not engaged in the characterization of the psychological novelist, with its internal consistency; but with the 'episodic characterization of eg the folktale, wherein the characters common to multiple and even many episodes seem to have the memories of gold fish about what they did in the past. 

This episodic characterization structure allows God or the folk tale corpus to focus on one message at a time using the figure of the character; as opposed to making final and decisive statements about a set character of the character in question. Thus, 'Esau' will be positive at the end of his life, when 'Jacob' who stole his birthright practically hurls cattle and wealth at him; but negative when mentioned in the prophetic series of correspondences when in the reversed "Esau have a I hate". The earlier part of 'Esau's' life is likewise the correspondence reversed, not a definitive statement about his final character.

Armed with such tools as 'chiastic structure', 'episodic characterization', 'predicate of the will', 'predicate of the understanding', 'predicate cluster', and 'predicate helix we can efficiently convey the reason for all the upright and reversed and chiastic structures of the Word; and the more readily apply the Word to better understanding of all things of the universe.
