The ‘Predictivity’ of Dialectic, Part 10: Seldon’s ‘‘‘Seeings’’’ Series
--
‘The Ground of the Predictive Power of Dialectic’.
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, and from the internal sayings,
of our co-founder,
Karl Seldon.
The
tenth such release in this new series is entered below [Some E.D.
standard edits have been applied, in the version presented
below, by the editors of the Special Council for the Encyclopedia, to the
direct transcript of our co-founder’s
discourse].
This 10th instalment addresses the root of the predictive power of dialectic.
Seldon:
“...«monads»
are the units, the individuals, the elements, the ‘‘‘holons’’’
[cf. Arthur Koestler] that we humans
group, mentally, under various different kinds, based upon their
‘‘‘individual differences’’’ and their ‘individual similarities’,
i.e., under/within various “kinds of being” -- or ‘‘‘ontological’’’ --
categories.”
“Such
categories were the «arithmoi» of the ancients -- the ‘‘‘indefinite
numbers’’’ [of «monads»] of the various “Kinds”, e.g.,
of Plato and the Pythagoreans, of Euclid, etc.”
“Their
exact numbers -- the censuses of the «monads»
of the various and growing kinds -- vary by locale, i.e., across space
at any given universal [“Shape-Theoretic”] time, and through times as well, synchronically,
and diachronically.”
“Because
the world, after long experience, evinces a tendency to progress in a
‘«monad»-ic’-combinatoric -- ‘allo-combinatoric’ and ‘auto-combinatoric’
-- manner, i.e., is inductively populous with [i.e., with frequently
encountered] instances of such
‘new-ontology-creation-by-monadic-combinatorics-among-the-«monads»-of-already
extant/existing-ontology’, and because these ‘«monad»-ic’ combinatorics can be
mirrored and summarized in the less-detailed form of ‘categorial combinatorics’
-- again, by both ‘allo-combinatorics’ and ‘auto-combinatorics’ -- the
simple mathematics of categorial «aufheben» [self-]combinatorics, i.e., of dialectic, can provide
‘pre-mirrorings’ and premonitions of the likely next new, unprecedented
kinds of being that will probably irrupt into the world in the future,
arising via ‘meta-finite singularities’ from within the densest concentrations of its earlier,
already-extant kinds of «monads», by extrapolating the [self-]combinatoric patterns of the past that are encoded
in the axioms of that mathematics of «aufheben» dialectic;
projecting those patterns into the realm of the not-yet-experienced --
into the realm of the algorithmically-assisted imagination of
future-experience.”
“These
patterns of categorial [self-]combinatorics
have been seen to hold regularly for both assemblages of ‘[ideo-]physio-«monads»’
and assemblages of, “pure”, “mimetic”/‘memetic’-«monads» [‘ideo-«monads»’].”
