Forgiveness

Koan 90.3

Without forgiveness: a 'measure of giving away' there would be no affect of difference: the 'condition of bearing apart'.

Summary Exposition

The central mechanism posits forgiveness as the ontological action that enables difference to manifest not as conflict but as the productive condition necessary for bearing together. Forgiveness is the 'measure of giving away' that allows difference to persist without resulting in schism. A concrete example is an alloy, where the distinct atomic structures of different metals must 'give way' to one another to form a new, stronger material; without this forgiveness, their difference would result in a brittle, fractured composite. The implication is that differentiation, a core feature of reality, requires this active, forgiving release if difference is to be sustainable and productive.
