FIML works with the shared knowledge of two people; knowledge that both partners agree on.
FIML works with small bits of knowledge to avoid jumping mistakenly into false belief, justification, or truth as these words are used in the video above.
In this way, FIML is working with both primary subjective and primary objective knowledge, turning them into agreed upon better subjective and objective knowledge (since both agree).
Doing FIML frequently, clears up mistaken beliefs, justifications, and truths by clearing up basic subjective and objective knowledge mistakes.
I have only just heard of Williamson, but the messy knowledge basis of interpersonal relations has been clear to me for many decades.
When partners compare their subjective knowledge of self and each other, they correct their false knowledge and replace it with much better knowledge.
Basic FIML works with bits of language and semiotics that are small enough for both partners to distinctly remember in real-time and agree on what they are.
A huge advantage of working with small bits of knowledge is self-correction is fairly easy. And also its effects on meso and macro kinds of knowledge happen through autocatalytic expansion into those regions.
Everything changes when lots of little bits of knowledge are cleared up and made better. The insights expand throughout the mind.
FIML does not tell you what to think. It is a method for working with what you know or can know or thought you knew but maybe were wrong or right.
FIML’s truths, once realized, are psychological, existential, philosophical and spiritual. ABN
