Part 10: Seldon on Dialectical Method Series.

‘On the Possibility of

‘Symbolic Pre-Construction’

of Future Ontology’.

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, Encyclopedia Dialectica insights into key concepts of Seldonian Theory.

The text posted below states the rationale for the ontological predictive power of ontological categorial-progression algebras such as that of the _NQ ‘meta-numbers’.

Seldon –

“The ontological content of the next, future epoch will be constituted by the ontological-categorial combinatorics and ‘self-combinatorics’ of what already exists in the immediately-preceding – in the present – epoch: that will become the immediate epochal past of that expected, epochal future.”

“Therefore, ‘symbolic pre-construction’, anticipation, or prediction, of that future ontology should be possible, via an algebra that symbolically mimics the categorial, qualitative combinatorics and ‘self-combinatorics’ of the stuff of reality – of the «monads» – that are represented by the ontological category-symbols of that algebra, given sufficient ‘‘‘Domain Expertise’’’, i.e., given sufficient ‘Domain Insight’, into the ontological Domain so represented, into the possible meanings of the not-yet-extant combinations and ‘self-combinations’ of past and present, already-extant qualities/kinds.”

Part 09: Seldon on Dialectical Method Series. ‘Dynamical «Arithmoi»' and the ‘Intra-Dynamicity’ of that which Dialectical Ontological Category-Symbols Symbolize.

Part 09: Seldon on Dialectical Method Series.

‘Dynamical «Arithmoi»’

and the ‘Intra-Dynamicity’

of that which Dialectical Ontological Category-Symbols Symbolize.

Dear Reader,

The statement posted below describes the dynamical character of the ontological categories symbolized in historical-dialectical category-symbols progressions.

Seldon –

“In a historical-dialectical categorial progression [meta-]model of a given ontological Domain, just because the same category symbols repeatedly re-occur, ‘evolutely’, in each modeled historical epoch after the epoch in which they first irrupted, it should not be thought that the ontological categories represented by these category-symbols are statical.”

“On the contrary, they are dynamical.”

“In general, historical-dialectical ontological categories – ‘ontological «arithmoi»’ – continue to evolve past the epoch in which they initially appear. They do so quantitatively, of course – the population-counts of like-kind «monads» to which the category-symbols refer continue to change. But they also change qualitatively, perhaps some of their species and sub-species of «monads» going extinct, but also perhaps new species and sub-species of their «genos»-kind of «monads» newly arising, in different successive epochs.”

“Such ontic categories are not just “numbers” – «arithmoi», in the ancient sense: they are ‘dynamical numbers’.”

“They are “fluents” [“flowing quantities”], as Newton might have called them. But they are also ‘flowing qualities’ – ‘onto-rheids’.”

“Consider, for example the category m of our, ‘Dialectic of Nature’, ‘Cosmos Meta-Model’. In that meta-model’s cosmological 3^rd ‘cosmo-historical epoch’ --

_"t₂ = 2

-- that category-symbol, m, refers principally to the distribution of molecules in the intra-galactic “molecular clouds” that then pervaded our cosmos [and still do]. By its fourth epoch –

_"t₂ = 3

-- after sufficient “metallization” of these “clouds”, etc., i.e., by the accumulation of sufficient quantities and kinds of higher atomic species, well beyond Hydrogen and Helium, via “stellar nucleosynthesis” and via the contributions of “supernovae”, etc., the meaning of this symbol includes the ‘qualo-quantitatively expanded’ molecular species content of the “proto-planetary discs”, and of the planets, that could, only then and thereby, begin to arise.”

“Thus, a more adequate symbolization for, e.g., the ‘cosmo-ontological’ category of molecules – one that would do justice to the epochally-dynamical meaning of that symbol, would be:

m(_"t₂).”

Part 07: Marxian Theory Series. Feuerbach Thesis #8 and «Das Kapital».

Part 07: Marxian Theory Series.

Feuerbach Thesis #8

and

«Das Kapital».

GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.

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, Encyclopedia Dialectica definitions ‘of the key themes of Seldonian Theory.

The 7th text in this such series is posted both below [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 –

“Karl Marx wrote, circa Spring, 1845, in his eighth thesis on Feuerbach, as follows –

“All social life is essentially practical. All mysteries which lead theory to mysticism find their rational solution in human practice and in the comprehension of this practice.”

-- writing this near the very beginning of the amazing series of revelations and discoveries that drove his amazing achievements in the comprehension of human-social history, and in the ‘pre-construction’ of our potential future history, that eventually made him known world-historically, world-wide, as well as the most cited scholar of all time – ‘the Isaac Newton of human-social science’.”

“In his treatise Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, volumes I through IV, he implemented the prescription of his thesis 8.”

“He strove to solve the paradoxical mysteries of the contemporary capital-relation-based civilization/social formation that had mystified almost all of the classical political economists, those capitalist-ideology-compromised, attempted “scientists” of capitalist-epoch human history, although they tended to project the capitalist system onto all of the human past, and onto all of our futurity, as do “economist” ideologists today -- the past was “The Flintstones”; the future can only be “The Jetsons”.”

“Marx so implemented by paying the most detailed attention to what his contemporary human beings were actually doing, as agents and “personifications” of capital as their predominant “social relation of production”, as well as to the recorded doings of past human beings.”

“That is, he sought to comprehend the actual human praxis, within/as capital, as the totality of the human activity that constituted the capitalist system; to comprehend ‘the capital-praxis’ of ‘capitalist humanity’ – the human praxis of the capital-relation-centered instar of the human species.”

“Even the remarkable algebra that he developed to help present his findings arose from this approach.”

“Its C—M—C’ and M—C—M’ formulas are abstracts of human praxis, and its symbols, C and M, represent human agents as “personifications” of capitalist economic value, engaged in the activities of ‘exchange-values exchange’, as represented by the dash-connectors, ‘—’.”
