Figurative truth

A statement, or label which is true, but only within it's non-literal context.

Two very close friends "adopt" each other as sibling, identifying as such. At one's graduation the other declares, "That's my sister!" A figurative truth.

Policy of Truth

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?
Now you're not satisfied
With what you're being put through
It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilized
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied

It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Now you're standing there tongue tied
You better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

truthstruction

{truth + structure} & {truth + instruction} & {structure + instruction}

also {truth + obstruction}, in the sense of obstructing untruth.

{truth + structure}: the design (of artifacts, institutions, etc.) according to rigorously rational principles; and to the extent possible, in a way that encodes for the communication / perpetuation of the (artifact, institution, etc.).

{truth + instruction}: communication / perpetuation of {truth + structure} theory.

{structure + instruction}: communication / perpetuation of {truth + structure} practice.

{truth + obstruction}: use of truthstructured reason to thwart untruth and unreason.

This definition is somewhat self-referential, but that seems appropriate for a word that is being truthstructurally designed to describe complex adaptive systems and their emergent phenomena. Why shouldn't a word have an iterative function for a definition, as opposed to a static definition. Since when are words static entities, anyway?

America's founding father's were truthstructionists who not only believed in rational principles, but also sought to design the same into the very structure of our institutions. They would be greatly heartened by the truthstructural possibilities of our networked information society.
