Seldon’s Opus:  Key Excerpts.  Excerpt No. 6 --

‘An «Aufheben» ‘Qualo-Fractal Tower’ is NOT a “Hierarchy”.’

Dear Reader,

It is my pleasure, and my honor, as an Officer of the Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.] Office of Public Liaison, to share with you, from time to time, as they are approved for public release by the F.E.D. General Council, key excerpts from the internal writings of our co-founder, Karl Seldon.

The sixth such release in this new series is pasted in below.  [Some E.D. standard edits have been applied to the direct transcript of our co-founder’s discourse].

Regards,

Miguel

“a dialectical [«aufheben»], finitary ‘qualo-fractal tower’ -- e.g., like that of our «kosmos» as a whole, consisting of an «arché-monads» scale/level, that of pre-/sub-nuclear “particles” [non-composite bosons and fermions], ‘‘‘topped’’’ by a scale/level of composite boson and fermion «monads»[mesons, protons, neutrons, hyperons, etc.], ‘‘‘topped’’’, ‘‘‘in turn’’’, by a scale/level of atomic nuclei/atom «monads», ‘‘‘topped’’’ by a scale/level of molecular «monads», ‘‘‘topped’’’ by a scale/level of prokaryotic, or, better, of pre-eukaryotic, living cell «monads», and so on -- is NOT a “hierarchy”, as the ruling class, and their “scientific” servants, would have it.”

“This is because, in terms of ‘interactivity’, and ‘interactability’, all ontological categories, or all of the «monads» that those ontological categories represent, exist in the same space, on the same “plane”, in terms of their access to one another.” 

“Each fundamental ‘«monad»-ic’ kind is accessible to interaction with all of the others.”

“Dark Energy”, and “Dark Matter”, as presently unknown to us as the nature of their «monads» may be, can -- and do -- impact human society, and also all of the other scales of ontology that are earlier in their cosmological ‘extantcy’ than is human society.”

“At their most basic, ‘«arché »-ic’ root, our bodies are made of quarks and gluons.  Our bodies “still” contain these , and quarks and gluons can, in principle, and do, shape our bodies, and all of the ‘post-prenuclear’ scales of ‘cosmo-ontology’ between us and those quarks and gluons, including the tiny portions of that total 'cosmo-ontology' that are also contained in our bodies.”

“Likewise, the electrons within the atoms that also compose our bodies, e.g., if impacted by incident electromagnetic radiation -- by its “photonic” «monads» -- will affect the rest of the scales of «monads» that also compose our bodies.”

“Likewise the protons and neutrons that also compose those atoms.”

“Likewise the molecules that those atoms also compose.”

“Likewise the organelles, e.g., the mitochondria, of our bodies’ eukaryotic livings cells -- those organelles that are the ‘‘‘living fossils’’’ of ancient prokaryotic living cells that once merged to compose the forerunners of those eukaryotic living cells out of which our bodies are [also] made.”

“Some attenuations there may be, in the accessibility of the units/«monads» of the higher, and of the presently highest, ‘qualo-fractal scales’, to the action upon them of the units of the lower, and of the lowest, ‘qualo-fractal scales’, and in the accessibility of the lower, and of the lowest, ‘qualo-fractal scales’ to the action upon them of the units of the higher, and of the presently highest, ‘qualo-fractal scales’.”

“But there is nothing of the kind of absolute barriers between the units of different ‘qualo-fractal scales’ that would justify applying, to such ‘qualo-fractal towers’ -- to such ‘qualo-fractal scaled-similarity 

regresses’ -- the ruling-class-promoted term “hierarchy”."
