a self-model placed so far above the occupied range that no reading can land inside its window, so the placement itself does the filtering and no wall needs building.

Delusions of grandeur (noun) means: a self-model placed so far above the occupied range that no reading can land inside its window, so the placement itself does the filtering and no wall needs building. It emerges from self-model, window, above, far: Evidence arrives from the occupied range, so every reading falls short of a window placed far above it; nothing has to be refused because nothing can reach, and the model is safe from correction in proportion to how wrong it is. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 20, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).

ordinarily means: believing yourself far greater than you are
