Dear Reader,

 

 

 

It is my pleasure, and my honor, as an elected member of the Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.] General Council, and as a voting member of F.E.D., to share, with you, from time to time, as they are approved for public release by the F.E.D. General Council, Seldon’s commentaries on key Encyclopedia Dialectica concepts of Seldonian Theory.

 

 

This 2nd text in this new such series is posted herewith, together with supporting text-images and diagrams [Some E.D. standard edits have been applied, in the version presented below, by the editors of the F.E.D. Special Council for the Encyclopedia, to the direct transcript of our co-founder’s discourse].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seldon –

 

Consider the generic stage 8categorial combinatoric’ [proxy for the generic, undergirding ‘monadic-combinatoric’] dialectical categorial progression, in the NQ algebra, 

using the simplest, the ‘Qualo-Peanic’, Dialectical Method:

 

a [+] b [+] qba [+] g [+] qga [+] qgb [+] qgba [+] d.

 

It sometime fits to interpret the “merely-hybrid” category qba as a [relative species] sub-category of [relative «genos»] ‘self-hybrid’ category b º qb.

 

 

 

Likewise, it sometimes fits to interpret “merely-hybrid” categories 


qga & qgb & qgba  


 as more-determinate, more ‘thought-concrete [relative species] sub-categories of more abstract, less-determinations-rich, more general [relative «genos»] ‘self-hybrid’ category g º qg.

 

 

 

Even in cases of historical-dialectics – not merely in cases of systematic-dialectics – categorial progressions, e.g., qga [+] qgb [+] qgba, may not work as a chronologically-ordered, ‘chronologically ordinal’ sub-progression. They may, instead, fit as an all-together-at-once, simultaneous, synchronic/-systematic/-taxonomic triad of dialectical sub-categories.*

 

In some cases, there may be additional sub-categories, beyond, e.g., the three in standard ordinal positions fifth, sixth and seventh, and also for some, or even all, of the other ordinal positions in this generic progression – even for the eighth position, and beyond.

 

In such cases, including all of those, implicit, sub-categories explicitly in your ontological-categorial, categorial-progression, dialectical ‘meta-model’ may require recourse to even the 56th,

q_GBA, 


arithmetic/algebra for modeling dialectics, in the,

NQ-expressed, dialectical ‘ideo-ontological’ categorial 

progression/-axioms-systems progression, long-form ‘meta-model’ of the Encyclopedia Dialectica arithmetics/algebras for modeling dialectics.

 

*[A case in point is the simplified, e.g., circulation value-forms-only, systematic-dialectical categorial progression model of the ‘content-structure’ of volumes I and II of Marx’s «Das Kapital». 

 

With categorogram K or qK representing the category 


of circulation value-form ‘“Capital in General”’, the excerpt –

 

K Å qKC Å qKM Å qKMC 

 

– may be fittingly interpreted as representing the «genos»-category of ‘“Capital in General”’, followed by its three, circulation value-form species sub-categories –

 

‘“Commodity-Kapitals”’, plus

‘“Money-Kapitals”’, plus

‘“Circulations of the Total Social Kapital”’. 

 

 

This sub-progression arises in the context of the simplified, seven-category dialectical categorial progression model of the volumes I and II «Das Kapital» tables of contents –

 

C Å M Å qMC Å K Å qKC Å qKM Å qKMC

 

– wherein the ‘merely-hybrid categorogram’


qMC 


stands for the ‘“Monies-mediated circulations of Commodities”’ category.
