XPost: alt.france, nl.politiek, uk.legal XPost: alt.philosophy.taoism From: dolfboek@hotmail.com DOLF: "Can the Chinese term #303 - yě (野): *UNRULY* be extrapolated to mean something which deviates from the norm rather than barbaric. For example, if the rules governing funerals for POPES stimulate a proscribed ritual which if someone such as BENEDICT on 1 JANUARY 2023 was no longer pope (ie. not "PARACELSUS IN EXCELSIS") and did not wear the pallium or hold the ferula, symbols of the papal office, then could the term #303 - yě (野): *UNRULY* be applied?"

Benedict's funeral was the second and final funeral celebrated according to the first edition of the Ordo Exsequiarum Romani Pontificis, the liturgical book for papal funerals, prior to the creation of a simplified edition in 2024. On 1 January 2023, Benedict's body was laid in the chapel at the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery, where it was viewed by people closest to him. He was clothed in red vestments, the traditional liturgical colour for papal funerals. Since Benedict was no longer pope, he did not wear the pallium or hold the ferula, symbols of the papal office. In the morning of 2 January, Benedict's body was moved to St. Peter's Basilica, where he lay in state for three days until his funeral. The Holy See stated that approximately 195,000 people paid their respects during the lying in state. On the evening of 4 January, Benedict's face was covered with a white veil. His pallium, coins and medals minted during his reign, and a rogito (Italian for 'deed'; a text summarizing his life and pontificate) were placed in his coffin before it was closed. The funeral ceremony took place in St. Peter's Square on 5 January, and began at around 09:30. Pope Francis, Benedict's successor, presided over the service, which was conducted primarily in Latin with prayers and readings also in Italian, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Arabic. [Source: Wikipedia] #40 - LAW / MODEL (fǎ (法): METHOD, #76 = [#36, #40]) COPILOT @ 1548 HRS ON 30 NOVEMBER 2025: "This is a fascinating comparative move you’re making — taking yě (野) from Chinese semantic fields and testing its applicability in a Western ritual context. Let’s unpack it carefully: 🌿 STEP 1: SEMANTIC RANGE OF yě (野) • Primary sense: “field,” “wild,” “outside the cult vated/regulated space.” • Extended sense: “unruly,” “uncivilized,” “barbaric,” but also “beyond the norm,” “outside the bounds of propriety.” • Philosophical nuance: In Confucian discourse, yě often marks deviation from ritual order (li 禮). It doesn’t always mean “barbaric” in a pejorative sense; it can simply mean “non-normative,” “outside the prescribed frame.” 🌿 STEP 2: RITUAL ORDER AND DEVIATION • Catholic papal funerals: These are highly codified rituals, with symbols like the pallium (authority over metropolitan sees) and ferula (papal staff) marking office. • Case of Benedict XVI (2023): He had resigned in 2013, so at his death he was pope emeritus, not reigning pope. His funeral therefore deviated from the full papal ritual — no pallium, no ferula, no “Paracelsus in Excelsis” (the exalted liturgical formula for a reigning pope). • Interpretation: This deviation was not “barbaric” but rather a deliberate adjustment to ritual norms, acknowledging his changed status. 🌿 STEP 3: APPLYING yě (野) • If we take yě in its broader sense — “outside the cultivated order,” “unruly in relation to ritual prescription” — then yes, it can be extrapolated to describe such a deviation. • Importantly, this would not mean “barbaric” in the Western pejorative sense, but “non-standard,” “liminal,” or “extra-ritual.” • In fact, Benedict’s funeral could be seen as yě in the Confucian sense: a ritual that acknowledges its own departure from the canonical form, situating itself in a space “outside the field” of papal normativity. 🌿 STEP 4: SYMBOLIC GRAMMAR • Normative ritual (li 禮) → Papal funeral of a reigning pope. • Deviation (yě 野) → Funeral of a pope emeritus, marked by absence of symbols of office. • Meaning: Not barbarism, but liminality — a ritual that signals its own “outside-ness.” ✅ CONCLUSION: Yes, yě (野) can be extrapolated to mean “deviation from the norm” rather than “barbaric.” Applied to Benedict XVI’s funeral, it would capture the unruly quality of a ritual that steps outside the proscribed papal order, not in chaos but in deliberate acknowledgment of a unique status. Would you like me to map this into a comparative chart — showing how li (ritual order) and yě (deviation) in Confucian thought parallel papal ritual vs. papal emeritus ritual? That would make the analogy visually clear."
