Freight Train

The Freight Train is a named diagrammatic motif used when teaching and debating Complex Protism. In contrast to the two‑box picture of Protism, these expositions employ families of schemata—each a particular layout of boxes (domains) and arrows—to help readers and listeners visualize how theorical information might percolate through multiple cosmi without looping back. The Freight Train is cited alongside the Firing Squad, the Wick, and similar named motifs as part of that didactic set.

In current discourse the family of such schemata is treated as instances of Directed Acyclic Graphs: diagrams whose one‑way arrows never form cycles. In that framing, names like “Freight Train” serve as mnemonic labels for a specific arrangement of nodes and arrows within the general scheme. The text does not spell out the Freight Train’s exact layout, but it is presented as a recognizable pattern in the shared vocabulary used to contrast simple and complex Protist pictures.

Context for use is a live, work‑focused messal held during a large Convox, where avout draw these figures on slate while explaining how a many‑node network can model one‑way influence from the Hylaean Theoric World into inhabited cosmi. The broader debate invokes ideal objects—cnoöns—and whether minds apprehend them from a separate theoric domain or instead supply the definitions themselves. The Freight Train functions within this discussion as one of the standard illustrative shapes, used to make the multi‑cosmi, one‑directional character of Complex Protism more concrete for listeners.
