My focus is about bonds.

Bonds are connections.
Connections are relationships.
Relationships bind you.
Relationships are sets of rules.
Rules bind you.

Rules provide infrastructure, the platforms which help us operate at a higher level.
Rules create freedom at ever higher levels.
Freedom requires responsibility.
Responsibility binds you.

Bondage is not all negative.
Nothing can operate, indeed nothing can exist without bonds.
Every structure is mostly a set of connections.

What is your body? It isn’t really the atoms and molecules within it. They come and go. It is actually the structure, the relationships of those atoms and molecules.

What is a church, or school, or business, or country? It isn’t the people or the buildings, or the equipment that currently keep it operating. It is the structure, the relationships.

Everything that exists is an organization; a set of connections, rules, relationships and structures. All are (nearly) synonymous with bonds.

OK, we have established that bonds are extremely basic. What new insights might that shed light on next?

I think my recent post on the nature of reality is related.

I like your observations here.
