Multiordinality (a type of nominalization)

Question 1

Multiordinality (Nominalization) Negative Example:

(Over-generalizing the meaning of words to the point where a word has a multiplicity of meanings and can be applied, ad infinitum, to itself. For example, “I have a thought about that thought (and a thought about that thought about that thought),” etc. Deleted in multiordinal terms is the level or dimension of abstraction being used in the generalization. Example words include, “mankind, being in love, marriage, job, thought, education, ethics, religion, sanity, insanity, object,” etc. These terms are infinitely valued stages of processes with a changing, ambiguous content.)

“I’m having second thoughts about our relationship.”

Answer 1

Multiordinality (Nominalization) Positive Challenge:

“What thoughts are you having?”

“When can you determine that a judgment will be poor?”
