1. Saotome Shihan used this expression many times at Shobukan and dojo he visited when invited.

in the suttas we speak of solitary hearers,
a hearer, here, puts the heard into action,
under the auspices of the grace of liberated
intellectual autonomy. that is, that the in-
dividual is free to make an investigation into
conflicting views, much like investigating
conflicting spears. investigation is measure.
matrices of measurements is in isomorphic
proportion to [ ? ] matrices of phenomena.
