What does polarization mean? Are there 3 polarities?

I think "efficiency of energy expenditure" is an explicit hint that polarization is a kind of epiphenomenon or side effect of a larger energetic condition or pattern that we simply do not have the proper frame of reference to see or describe.

I agree that this is not a satisfying answer, it's a "just so sorry" (the reason that energy expenditure correlates with polarity is that polarity is a kind of energy expenditure, much like water being wet because it has the property of wetness), but I do think that's the best we can do to reconcile the Confederation's system with our experience. I think it lines up reasonably well assuming one has the proper frame of mind, but of course that's never going to convince anybody. Having faith that all of this works out in the end, though, is kind of the same thing. I'm just guessing that this vibration we always hear about reconciles energy with choice and consciousness.
