Imo it means that two people who have opposing views collide and become contaminiated with one another if they communicate disagreement. Even if by means of communication one player decides to agree with the oppenents postulate anout something the original postulate he had then became contaminated or in other words it changed his original idea from one to another. For example, He loved bread but someone said there is arsenic in it and he doesn't like arsenic because its poison and thus his postuale changed and he doesnt eat bread because of the opponents view.
Hello,
What I had in mind was a store of kinetic energy. If RI is run frequently, good and constant momentum is maintained in session and in case gain.

On p.22 of The TROM book, I see two sentences which confuse me: http://take.ms/elErA
The first one is: """All the subject of reason limit the possible and define the reasonable"""
This is not a well-formed English sentence. What do you suppose the author was trying to express here?
Next we read: """The most reasonable postulate is a complementary postulate"""
The reason this confuses me is that I wonder why a postulate needs to be complementary to anything: it stands on its own.
Contagion with opposing postulates happens all the time. The school system is designed to produce “good “ citizens who go to work and pay taxes because it is the right thing to do. But if you see that the government is corrupt then paying taxes is the wrong thing to do.
A kid falls in love with a certain girl but she rejects him and he decides he is no good.
A team has a loosing season and decides that they are second rate players.
All of these are contagion by opposing postulates. Life is full of them.

I've found the thoroughness of the Knowledgism rundowns really something wonderful though, so Alan Walter is definitely somebody whose work I don't take lightly(not to suggest anyone was!). To be able to run the charge out and inspect the individual moods(tones) relating to an item or identity was a game changer for me I never experienced in SCN.
