Another way to frame it is signals and noise.

What we most readily identify with, what are signals to our sense of reality, is what most readily and instinctively synchronizes with our prior views.

Yet often the earlier, older information we take for granted is necessarily less informed than some broader perspective.

Though without that prior sense, we are simply lost to subsequent information. So we do have to build on the foundations that we have.

Though it does occur that those prior models of reality do not usefully work anymore and have to be discarded.

As the saying in science goes; Change happens one funeral at a time.

If we were to seriously step back and not just patch the old maps, models, or look for new ones, we could begin to understand how these systems work.

That these conceptual frameworks exist and function within networks, ecosystems of multiples of such models. All models are finite, because they are descriptive. Infinities get pretty fuzzy quickly and too much information just turns the signals back to noise. Whiteout.

If we think about how structure does develop, it is naturally centripetal. Having everything on the same wavelength, working as one, draws the parts together into that larger whole.

Think galaxies; The structure coalesces in, but the energy radiates out.

That energy, excess information, gets traded around. "What is one mans trash, is another mans treasure."

Energy lost from one place is replaced by energy radiating in from surrounding areas.

So the synchronization is balanced by harmonization, with resonance and reverberations as feedback in the middle.

One man's truth, is another man's conspiracy theory.

It is a process of building up and breaking down.

The essence from which we rise, not an ideal from which we fell.

Waves across infinity.
