Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...
Again, if it is concluded that the mind is by original constitution a seat of law, the question of the nature of its subjection to this law,—whether, for instance, it is an obedience founded upon necessity, like that which sustains the revolutions of the heavens, and preserves the order of Nature,—or whether it is a subjection of some quite distinct kind, is also a matter of deep speculative interest.
In his 1854 book An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, George Boole (1815-1864) raised the question thus inquiry regarding the Mind as the Seat of Law versus the Subject of Law. He continued.
Further, if the mind is truly determined to be a subject of law, and if its laws also are truly assigned, the question of their probable or necessary influence upon the course of human thought in different ages is one invested with great importance, and well deserving a patient investigation, as matter both of philosophy and of history. These and other questions I propose, however imperfectly… And so he pondered further on the matter.
This
poet humbly suggests both propositions as true, in motion simultaneously. For
truly in nature there are observations, facts, logic, consistencies, truths,
ethic(s) therefore law(s) thereupon the mind subjects to the aforesaid. Although,
the Mind functions observably, logically, consistently, determinably thereby compiling,
comparing, prioritizing, economizing then concluding. The functionality
internal to the Mind as seated, determines within inherent limitation hence
imperfection, the actuality external to the Mind as subjected.

Crucifixes tarnished, thrown to white walls and bloody floors
For unstudied the lore of yore, therefore quite ignored the gore
Exiguous the rightful dissented, still abhorred by the plenteous
Pneumatically thrilled the latter by demagogues vainglorious
Bricks and sticks, known to fix while prone to
cleverest of tricks
Per bureaucratic jesters, commonly festered by body
politics
Lured then bestirred further by covetous, presumptuous
murmurs
Perverted by academic charmers strutting as arrogant
nurturers
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
