5. Scalability

As we have now known about the mimetic concept of a fruit as an embodiment of human cause-action-consequence, with certain limitations and appropriate contexts of viewing the fruit, now we can scale it in our mimesis as we want to.

Our concept has developed in a way, which can be said to be both idealistic as well as that grounds itself in the reality. Without the realistic notion of a fruit, we could never have established this semblence of a mimesis of a fruit based on our imagination and assumption.

And, here comes a disturbing aspect of this mimesis, collapsing within itself as an idea. Or, simply as an allegory to the concept of human cause-action-consequence. In my opinion, this happens only when the mimesis is based off the ideal scenario, which begs to be implemented in the real world. A serious condition for any mimesis or imitation that has a further meaning added to it.

Thus, the overall aspect of the idea remains vaguely within the realms of the imagination, or a forceful association to another idea or practice.

What I aim with the scalability of this mimesis, is to free the mimetic concept of the fruit from the ideal undergirdings and therefore, make it more plausible to worked out in the real world. And, the end purpose of such a deed is to wholly understand the mimetic relationship of our desire in the real world. It, thus, opens up a vast field of study. A field of study that comprises of imagery to understand our daily desires and find the connection to mimesis that brings forth our action in the world. But, first, lets clear this field off some strawmen.

A logical assumption is to question if imagination is to be considered as an essential characteristic of this project. Or, simply, if this project tends to be an imagery of real conception, then why do we imagine, the mimesis of a fruit?

I will say, there is no certain answer to that question, even though the question is quite sound and plausible. I will only affirm that the mimetic concept of the fruit as an embodiment of human cause-action-consequence chain, is more or less a symbolic form of presentation of something that is real. Thus, what you’re dealing with is a symbolic representation that is based upon the Matthew 7:16, “Ye shall know them by their fruits…” And, also Matthew 12:33, “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.”

As, you saw that the allegory or metaphor of the fruit to decribe men and their deeds, is clearly mentioned in the Gospels, irrespective of your worldview, this is not the point of the imagination, but a deeply real, ingrained, and spiritual metaphor that describes men through the fruits they bear.

And, as I mentioned in the chapter named Growth, the fruit that we place in our imagination, is just the mimetic conception of the real fruit, that goes through the process of germination, growth and bearing fruits. And, these three stages of the process can be mapped quite plausibly in the cause, human action of volition and consequence of that action in agreement to the cause.

Thus, this mimetic conception of the fruit has a special purpose in this fictional world, which is very well encapsulated with the casual view and the active view of the fruit by the onlooker, where in both the views the notion of the bearer is clearly indicated.

The scalability, now actually hinges upon the mimetic fruit. And, it’s not only the materialistic conception of the scaling of the number of mimetic fruits, but to this entire fictional world that this fruit will create.

But as we discussed the aspect of the casual view of the fruit that indicates the existence of a bearer, and the bearer necessarily a human being, while the fruit is viewed by an onlooker, makes the bearer and the onlooker the necessary characters of this fictional world. The scalability of this fictional world depends on the bearer, who bears a mimetic fruit, and the onlooker who views the fruit. Thus, two personalities required to create a mimetic fruit.

This begs another question, as to what sort of viewing is required from the onlooker?

From the point of view of the scalability of this fictional world, an onlooker must be doing both the sorts of viewing. He first encounters the fruit, and then eats the fruit to find himself in the shoes of the bearer. Then, he acknowledges the cause and takes necessary actions of his own choice to bring forth another fruit, which will be distinct from the earlier. Likewise, the amount of fruits in this fictional world will depend necessarily on its characters and will scale out with the help of the mimetic fruits.
