Reviewing some of the discussion on "augmented reality"....
In the past you have asserted that the term AR does imply a dualism, but represents a "multiplicity of augmented realities coming in many flavors".
I think that if you want to convey this you should say this. Otherwise, you will be misunderstood and going over the same ground over and over again.
I take this to mean that human reality is always augmented with technology. This is fair enough, and one can state it without asserting category.
But of course, every category involves a dualism of at least "this" and "not this" - ie (reversing the order) 0/1.
I think you set (or appear to set) yourself an ontological task to assert any kind of nondual category. I suspect this is more that you mean to bite off.
