The metaphor
Buddha describes a life system’s innate or inherent, because essential,
capacity to uncover (indeed, abstract) a particular universal problem
solving principle.
Failure to perform
that particular operation @ best, therefore to completion (≈ perfection), is
signalled to consciousness (i.e. to a system’s states monitoring function)
as the various intensities of discomfort, i.e. distress, suffering, anguish
and so on.
Since the
buddha function applies itself to recovering the universal principles of
resolving particular problems, the buddha function was previously iconised
as a series of particular Buddhas.
The buddha
function terminates with the recovery of a particular universal principle
and its proclamation, the latter being (self-) ‘rewarded’ with the
samma-sambuddho (i.e. the Eureka)
experience.
