Uncertainty Thinking or the Osura Krismatra (‘dreaming structure’) refers to both the Kristang theoretical structure of the human psyche and the methodology of using this theoretical structure to understand and organise reality. It is the core and main Kristang epistemology and philosophy and organises the psyche into four component sub-systems or meta-layers that deal with various facets of intangible reality and our growth as agentic individuals within the larger community across the timeframe of our lives. Each of the four component sub-systems follows its own particular fractally repeating basal restricted sequence that evolves exponentially and infinitely once one full repeating set of that sequence has been integrated by the individual; the psyche in Kristang, in other words, is filled with infinite potential and can always strive to unlock that potential.
The first and most visible sub-system or meta-layer of the psyche, the hexadecimal Osura Pesuasang (‘structure of personhood’, consisting of a basal sequence of 16 steps), deals with what is called human individuation in English, straightforwardly supporting the development of a person’s quaternity of personhood; the second, which is described as ‘beneath’ that, is the duodecimal Osura Spektala (‘structure of performance’, consisting of a basal sequence of 12 steps), which deals with what is called human transfiguration in English: the ability of a person to autonomously process, work through and transmute trauma into something life-affirming and restorative. The third and fourth systems, which are similarly ‘beneath’ the Osura Spektala, are even more profound and deal with even more highly and intensely transformative aspects of one’s own life: the octal Osura Elisia (‘structure of bittersweet joy’) deals with what is called human convivification in English, providing a means by which individuals may process and negotiate the death of those who have irei or unconditional love for them, while the final and deepest system, the quatenary Osura Samaserang (‘structure of resurrection’), deals with what is called human resurrection in English, and supports individuals following traumatic encounters with Sinyorang Morti, the eleidi of Death Themselves, who thereafter seek to integrate such apocalyptic material and reintegrate a new reiwe or unity of self across spacetime.
The potency and applicability of the Osura Krismatra is informally very well-known in Singapore and elsewhere, having been used to support both remarkable academic achievement in creative and academic writing and deep and fulfilling personal growth in the Eunoia Junior College classes of 19-A2, 19-A5, 19-I5, 21-I4, 21-O2 and 21-O4 toward their A-Level examinations between 2019 to 2022, and being unsuccessfully sought after by abusive members of the state to support the maintenance of hegemonic control over the population through psychoemotional means. More printed information about the Osura Krismatra can be found at the Merlionsman website of the 13th Kabesa and originator of Uncertainty Thinking, Kevin Martens Wong, and in academic material published in journals and edited volumes; the theory itself is also taught in the Kodrah Kristang classes starting from Kodrah Kristang 1B.
