Maybe it’s because it’s late, but I don’t really follow what this is. It seems cool, but the explanation is too abstract

Seems a bit like squishing high-order categories onto biological phenomena. It seems a bit far fetched that the existence of cross-cutting categories like fluffy would be applied to all the different conceptions of what are basically tools

Ah, but this jealousy makes perfect sense if God is indeed the ‘father of everything’. It is common in contemporary Christian parlance to refer to idols as things that distract us from God. This is a very useful concept that is born directl
