Very deep and interesting article, thank you 👍. About "sedimentation", the reference to Bourdieu's "habitus" could be useful. Btw, in relation, I have coined analogically the techno-phenomenological term "tekhnicus" as the embodied deposit when interacting (bidirectionally) with digital techs.

Lately, I have become increasingly interested in Dzogchen, which has resulted, as is often the case, in a recursive rereading of the fundamentals (two truths for the four schools, etc.), without forgetting that conceptual cognition is necessarily erroneous.
