I don't think this is about ego -- this is just about naming for convenience. We say "Mandelbrot Set" rather than "calculate (...) converges" because the former has four syllables and the latter has thirty-two.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're getting at w/r/t/ judgement and cycles.

That is the cycle of judgement. Without ego, I can refer to it as "Mandelbrot Set", or the full equation. Ego is a qualitative limit upon mankind, as much as lack of vocalized language was. We talk sometimes of the Singularity here. The Singularity is the moment we remove ego. I can somewhat envision what is beyond it, but I think others cannot.
