Jesus mentions the SRH :O

24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

Mark 3:24-25

This is SRH.

Although SRH points at this being necessarily true through the avenue of self-reference. As soon as something has a relationship with itself then it has a relationship with a thing which has self-reference.

And whatever function it applies to that thing, is automatically applied to itself via the isomorphism.

An entity stands in authority over the subject. But once the subject is linked to the entity then it becomes a constraint on itself.

A King has power over his subjects. Consider the set of all things a King can do his subjects = A. If the King now becomes a subject this cannot increase A. The power of the king must be constrained to B which is a subset of A.

Now is there something a King can do to himself that he cannot do to a subject? In other words is there something a King can do to a self-referential entity that is himself, as opposed to a regular subject?

Well this is the crux really of both self-reference and Ego.

If a King looks in the mirror, is he looking at a free entity? The problem that emerges is that the King may not like what he sees. In which case he comes to judge himself and that then creates a problem:

Does freedom lie in the right to judge, or to be without judgement?

An old style Pre-Magna Carta King in England is above the Law. They cannot be judged in a court or by anyone on Earth.

And at the same time they have complete freedom of Will without constraint. They can do whatever they want, and their subjects are bound to follow this will.

But SRH. What happens when the King has a judgement about them self? There is a contradiction and the house falls.

So the Todo always for SRH is to find some proof that self-reference ALWAYS leads to a reduction in power.

That the issue raised by Jesus is not just the "divided" but the condition for that which is the "itself". Without self-reference there is no opportunity for division.

And that raises a question about hierarchy and structure.

A body is divided into organs. And when the body is well these are in harmony. But already the opportunity is there for a body to divide against itself. So does this mean that a body has self-reference?

The very activity of a mind in classifying an entity sets up self reference. We say that component parts of an entity combine to create that entity. And we say that an entity is composed from its components. we call those components parts of the self, and since those components combine to make the self we have a self reference.

So emergence is actually essential to avoid a contradiction here. The component parts of an entity combine to create something New, that cannot then refer back to the parts!

Eating a cake is more than eating flour, butter, egg and feeling some warmth. And it must be because if a cake was just its ingredients then you would have 100% complete self-reference and a contradiction by SRH.

Short of time to examine this but all entities would be divided against themselves if there was not "emergence" so that an entity becomes more than its components!
