Set One: The Drifter

So, in categorical terms we are left with the following meaningful sets:

 Deductions: Nihilism is lazy when inspiration is ambiguous,
Nihilism is ambiguous when inspiration is lazy.

II. Pre-Determination, Acceptance, Mere Sophisication, Desire Alone 

Deductions: Pre-determination is accepted when mere sophistication is the only desire,
Pre-determination is desire-alone when mere sophistication is accepted.

III. Chance, Failure, Back to the Basics, Meaningful Trajectory

 Deductions: Chance is a failure when back to the basics is a meaningful trajectory, Chance is a meaningful trajectory when back to the basics fails.

  IV. Belief, Work, Boring Rules, Arbitration

Ostensibly these deductions provide guidance both for good and bad approaches to the folly of ideas.
