Should I be worried that you appear to be making my point for me? Let me state my case clearly, to make sure we are both not arguing the same point...

Of your seven principles, it appears that principles 3-7 apply only to not-me(2) and not to "me"(1).

The division between me(1) and not-me(2) is not only difficult to define, but also is constantly expanding and contracting both spatially and temporally. Some might even claim it is an illusory division. Your posts seem to reinforce this point.

Therefore, principles 3-7 are either (a) non-useful because of the difficulty in pinning down what they apply to, or (b) used as the definition of the division of me and not-me, making the set of principles a tautology.
