i don't think you understand what i meant by the political, then. it was more a technical usage that refers to the processes whereby collectives generate, formalize and enforce norms as an aspect of the wider processes that come together in the social fashioning of a world.

there isn't anything that's trans-political in that sense. correspondences across traditions are just that. doesn't mean there's a common transcendent source. and individuals are social creations. they don't just show up---they're made/trained/fashioned. but i digress.
