GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Reader,

 

 

Reality is composed of manifold, intermingled, ‘numbers of «monads»’, that is, of ‘«arithmoi» of units’; assemblages of objects, of discrete individual things, sorted conceptually, categorially into their qualitatively different kinds’, but intermingled in physical space – that is the non-mystical, concrete, sensuous, empirical meaning of the Pythagorean motto “All is number”.

 

These, qualitative, ‘numbers of units’ were divided into multitudinous, qualitatively different “kinds”, of «genos» and species – per the systematic/“eternal” dialectic of Socrates and Plato; of their «arithmoi eidetikoi».

 

That saying also implies that absolutely unique objects, absolute singletons, “one of a kind” objects, «sui genera», are rare to non-existent in our universe.

 

 

We embrace this implication of the ‘Pythagorean Postulate’.

 

 

We also uphold a “tweak” to – that is, an immanent critique of – not just the Pythagorean world view, but the world view of the humanity of ‘ancient Mediterranea’ entire.

 

 

A key psychohistorical root of that world view is exhibited in the following quotes from foundational texts attesting to the ancient Mediterranean ‘human phenome’: 

 

“EUCLID defines in the Elements, VII, 2, a number as “the multitude made up of units” having previously (Elements, VII, 1) said that a unit is “that by virtue of which each of existing things is called one.”  

“As a unit is not composed of units, neither EUCLID nor ARISTOTLE regard a unit as a number, but rather as “the basis of counting, or as the origin [Gk: «arché» – M.D.] of number.”

 

[H.-D. Ebbinghaus, et al., Numbers, Springer-Verlag, NY, 1991, p. 12.  Emphasis added by M.D.]

 

 

We hold that, on the contrary, ubiquitously, throughout exo-human Nature and human Nature alike, ‘units are composed of units’; units contain [sub-]units; [meta-]units are made up out [of multiplicities] of units.

 

 

The fuller evidence of this reality that has been cumulatively unearthed by modern science was, of course, not extant in the times during which those quotes were written. 

 

 

However, ample examples of the presence of ‘meta-«monad»-icity’, and of the process of ‘«aufheben» meta-«monad»-ization’ as the cause of ‘onto-dynamasis’, were already extant in those times.

 

 

Today, in our work, ‘meta-«monad»-icity’, and the process of ‘«aufheben» meta-«monad»-ization’, as the cause of ‘onto-dynamasis’, form the core of our world view.
