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, Foundation discourses on key elements of Seldonian Psychohistorical Theory.

 

The 12th and final text in this such series is posted 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 –

 

The capitalist system is intrinsically and inextricably driven by the pursuit of profitability – and of rising rates of profit – at all social, human, and natural-basis costs.”

 

“However, as that pursuit continues, and, by-and-large, succeeds, during the ‘ascendence-phase’ of the capitalist system, e.g., during the “Hundred Years Peace”, from around 1812 to 1914, the main means of raising capitalist profit rates turn against the biggest capitalists.”

 

“The initially-all-humanity-serving means of profitability-growth, via productivity-growth, “growth of the social [self-re-]productive forces” [cf. Marx], via escalating rates of “relative surplus-value” creation [cf. Marx] – begins to attack the accumulated industrial fixed capital and industrial-loan capital, and the profitability, of the biggest, capital-wealthiest, money-wealthiest, hence also politically most-powerful legacy capitalists.”

 

“Their gigantic factories become obsolete, and lose most or all of their capital-value, in the face of world market and home market competition, from new-entrant, upstart, innovative, entrepreneurial capitalists, who install innovative capital equipment, engineered to cost less to buy, and/or to cost less to operate, and/or to produce better-designed, more-useful products, and that out-produce, in the labor-productivity and in the unit-costs of its output, the legacy capitalists’ thus-obsolescent, incompetent legacy means of production.”

 

“Those losses to legacy-capitalists’ fixed capital value, written-off-against/subtracted-from gross profits in the accounting period in which their ‘techno-depreciation’ is forced into recognition, lowers their periodic profit-rates.”

 

“The resulting losses to finance capital, when the loans used to purchase that now-obsolete and typically scrapped, but still incompletely-amortized, fixed capital become “non-performing” – when repayments on those, e.g., bank, loans default – also lowers the profitability of the biggest finance capitalists as well, and threatens bankruptcy and overthrow for all of them.” 

 

“This legacy-capitalists-adverse dynamic, immanent to the capitalist system, became strikingly evident to the biggest U.S. and U.K. industrial and banking capitalists in the ~1870 to ~1890 “Great [Techno-]Deflation”, and in the World Market Depression begun in 1873 – at the time, called the “Great Depression”, by people not yet knowing how much even more horrible, for the majority classes, the next World Market Depression, and the resulting World War, and the entailed Genocides, would be.”

 

“During and after that ‘Great [Techno-]Deflation”, and leading up to the Rockefeller-Faction-imposed “Federal Reserve” Act, and World War I, the ruling faction of U.S. and U.K. hybrid oil, industrial, and finance ‘aristo-capitalists’ planned, and implemented, a horrible revenge upon the majority classes of the world, in retribution for those oligarch’s own capitalist system – of hyper-privileges for them, hardtack for the majority – having turned against those oligarchs themselves, together with promising, through productivity-, wages-, and opportunities-growth, to increasingly prosperize the working-classes of the world.” 

 

“Implementation of this ruling-faction plan launched the ‘descendence-phase’ of the global capitalist system.  This plan made the 20th Century the most vicious, violent, and mass-murderous century in human history.”

 

“Those oligarchs, in the U.S., used their “Federal Reserve”, and similarly-imposed “Central Banks” worldwide, to inflate away the wage-gains, and the savings, of the, otherwise rising, majority class, and taxed-away their earnings to fund the oligarch’s ‘servant-dictatorships’ in the geographical semi-periphery of the industrial capitalist geo-core, installed by the oligarchs to suppress and reverse the ‘techno-depreciating’ industrialization that was already underway there, and to kill millions in two World Wars, waged to suppress the rising, ‘techno-depreciating’ industrial competition from, especially Germany, but also, a little later, from Italy, Japan, and Russia; aimed at reversing and destroying industrialization in all of these otherwise rapidly-industrializing nation-states.” 

 

“In particular, the orders of the ‘descendence-phase’ ruling faction of the U.S/U.K. capitalist/-anti-capitalist ruling class, that we call the ‘Rocke-Nazi’ Faction, to the Hitler regime, which they financed and put into power, was to attack Russia.” 

 

“The ‘Rocke-Nazis’ plan was for Germany and Russia to destroy each other, as industrial powers, in an all-out war between them.”

 

“But the ‘Rocke-Nazi’ Faction’s mere-Nazi ‘servant-dictatorship’ soon turned into a ‘Franken-Dictatorship’, turning against, and seeking to liquidate, first, their erstwhile ‘Rocke-Nazi’ masters to the West, leaving dealing with Russia ‘til later.”

 

“When Hitler signed an [insincere] peace treaty with Russia, in 1939, the U.K. immediately declared war on their former Nazi ‘servant-regime’ in Germany, and World War II began.”

 

“Since World War II, including into the present century to-date, the ‘Rocke-Nazi’ Faction has only grown more ultra-vicious, and more ultra- violent.”

 

“The failure of their other majority-class-suppressing plans has led them to outright ‘humanocidal mania’ – to their plan to exterminate “95%” of the human race – see the statement, calling for that, by CNN founder and arch-‘Rocke-Nazi’-whore, psy-op and ideologies-manufacturing engineer Ted Turner –

Capitalism's Fatal Flaw, and the Way Forward: 'Rocke-Nazi' Plutocracy Publicly Proclaims Planned Planetary Population Plummeting. GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.

-- via ‘Global Warming Austerity’, and global ‘designer-disease’ germ warfare/pseudo-vaccine chemical warfare, as well as via the many forms of ‘Stealth Humanocide’ that the ‘Rocke-Nazis’ have already had in place for many years.”

 

“Today, ‘Rocke-Nazi’ rule is being challenged, globally, by populist movements among the majority classes, and especially by the Trump Faction in the U.S.” 

 

“The Trump Faction resembles the Roosevelt Faction, which overthrew the Rockerfeller Faction during the 1930s Global “Great Depression” and thereafter, until the ‘Rocke-Nazis’ 1960s coup d’état and coordinated assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, and many other leaders of the Roosevelt Faction.”

 

The Trump Faction resembles the Roosevelt Faction in seeking to ally with the majority class, by restoring and further raising majority class wages, salaries, and living standards, in return for the election-wining votes by the majority-class electorate, keeping the Trump Faction in power.”

 

“However, the ultra-vicious, ultra-violent ‘Rocke-Nazi’ Faction will do literally anythingcommit any crime, no matter how horrific, and even risk forcing WORLD WAR III – to regain power.”

 

“And so the battle for the survival of the human race – the battle of the ‘Meta-Darwinian Planetary Fitness Test’ of Terran Humanity – enters its most dangerous phase yet.

Part 03:

 

Seldon’s Slogans Series.

 

 

My View of Slogan 2.

 

 

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, key themes of Seldonian Theory.

 

The 3rd text in this new such series is posted 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].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seldons Slogans, #2 --

Intra-Duality is the Cause of Dialectic.

 



M.D.: My view on this slogan is as follows.  I see it as exemplified in Seldon’s account of ‘the [historical] dialectic of stellar meta-evolution’.

 

A “main sequence” star is a complex unity of a colossal thermo-nuclear self-explosion, issuing from its Hydrogen core – i.e., from its H+, protonic plasma core – opposing a colossal self-gravitational self-implosion, at every “point” or finite micro-locus within the body of the star, that lasts for billions of years, its duration of stellar existence depending especially upon its initial mass.

 

Such a star manifestly begins in a process of a, predominantly Hydrogen-containing “molecular cloud”, self-gravitationally self-contracting and self-densifying.

 

With star formation, self-gravitational self-implosion precedes, in time, the ignition of its, answering, and opposing, core thermonuclear self-explosion.

 

The ‘thesis-movement’ of self-gravitational self-contraction both pre-dates and also eventually induces the ‘antithesis-movement’ of core thermonuclear self-expansion.

 

The implosion-answering self-explosion can begin only once the self-implosion-induced core density is adequate to thermally overcome the electro-repulsion of enough core proton units, ‘proximating’ them sufficiently, and merely momentaneously, often enough that, and in enough cases, that their “strong nuclear force” mutual attraction, stronger over sufficiently-minute inter-proton distances than their electro-repulsion, prevails over their mutual electro-anti-attraction, to create di-proton units, as the starting point of the fusion of Hydrogen nuclei into Helium nuclei.

 

These ‘microcosmic’ processes determine the macrocosmic dynamics and the macrocosmic phenomenology of “main sequence” stars.

 

However, even if the thermonuclear self-expansion ‘antithesis-movement’ is ‘secondary in time’ – in time-of-first-manifestation – to the ‘thesis-movement’ of self-gravitational self-contraction and self-densification, both of these movements are predestined, as «potentia» of the natural formations that we call stars, each equally as implicit in stellar existence as the other.

 

To be more precise, it is the ‘intra-duality’ of the star, in the form of the unity of the opposites ‘self-contraction/self-expansion’, that is immanent and predestined in the “main sequence” stellar form/content, from the stage of molecular cloud, to that of “proplyd” [proto-planetary disk], and to the stages beyond.

 

It is thus this predestined ‘intra-duality’, this co-immanence of the opposite movements, the movements of contraction and/versus expansion, that gives rise to the dialectic of the ‘meta-evolution’ of stellar formations.

 

At the end of the existence of such a star, these two movements combine but also separate – that is, they combine separately – the stellar core contracting into, e.g., a white dwarf remnant, a neutronium remnant, or even ‘holonium remnant’, a “black hole”, while the outer shells concurrently expand/explode and are expelled into the thus atomic-species-richening interstellar, intra-galactic medium – in which and from which stellar self-reproduction and, eventually, also planetary self-reproduction, the precipitation of new stars and, eventually, of new stellar/planetary systems from sufficiently-dense self-localizations of the interstellar medium, ensues.

 

This final, concurrent combination of self-contraction and self-expansion, is the ‘synthesis-movement’ of stellar ‘meta-evolution’ – the ‘‘‘complex unity’’’ of stellar-core self-contraction and/with stellar outer-layers self-expansion and self-expulsion.

Part 01: Dialectics and Self-Reflexive Functions Series. ‘Self-Re-Entry’ of the ‘Metafinite’ Set of All Sets: A Universal Metaphor for the Dialectics of Nature.

 












Part 01:

 

Dialectics and Self-Reflexive Functions Series.

 

 

Self-Re-Entryof theMetafinite

Set of All Sets:

 

A Universal Metaphor for the Dialectics of Nature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Reader,

 

G. Spencer Brown once wrote, long ago, regarding certain expressions of the super-parsimonious arithmetic-algebra that he had developed, that “...the whole expression…can…be regarded as re-entering its own inner space…” [G. Spencer Brown, Laws of Form, George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 1969, p. 56].

 

He also wrote, in the same source: “The question of whether or not functions of themselves are allowable has been discussed at...length by many authorities since Principia Mathematica was published.  ...if an operation can take its own result as a base, the function determined by this operation can be its own argument.” [ibid., p. 97, emphases added by M.D.].

 

To whatever degree that Brown’s description of ‘self-re-entry’ may be apt for the syntactic/computational process that Brown was, in the quote above, describing, his description is more clearly and more concretely apt for another process, that he did not there address – namely, for the ‘self-iterating’ process of the finitary [‘metafinite’] ‘“Set of All Sets”’ for a given Domain/universe-of-discourse.

 

Since that ‘“Set of All Sets”’ is inadequate to itself as soon as it is formed, thereby requiring yet another iteration to attempt to reach its ever-receding, ever-elusive objective, we will denote this ideo-object’ by the symbol St, with t serving as this set-eventity’s ‘self-iterations counter’, its count of the consecutive tries at achieving the ‘“Set of All Sets”’.

 

We will further define the process of this set-eventity by what we will call the ‘«aufheben» evolute product of sets’:  

St+1  =  St2  =  St ´ St = St(St) = 

St È 2St, wherein 2St denotes the “power set”, or “set of all subsets” of the exponentiated set, here St.  As an operator, or operation, upon itself, St(St) or StSt  – indeed, as an «aufheben» self-operation – this product rule defines this ‘“Set of All Sets”’ function as a “Function of Itself”, as a ‘function/argument identical’, in our sense.  


Both of the syntactic forms St(St) and StSt also connote, for us, the self-reflection by, the self-inspection by, and the self-evaluation by St, its evaluation of itself as to whether or not it qualifies as the ‘“Set Of All Sets”’ for its [finitary] universe of discourse.  That is, St(St) and StSt connotatively assert that a generic human mind, ‘mentally-embodying’ St, knowing/‘mentally-embodying’ the content of St, spontaneously performs St(St) or StSt as an immanent critique, or self-critique, of St as a claimant to being the ‘“Set Of All Sets”’ for its Domain. 

 

This ‘‘‘self-reflexion’’’ and ‘‘‘self-reflection’’’ critique yields St È 2St, or ‘St + DSt’, as its positive fruition, by noting that something more, something additional, DSt or, more specifically, 2St, is still needed to get [further] to[ward the ever-unreachable] S, this Domain’s ‘“Set Of All Sets”’.    

 

For every finite value of t, the set St will always lack the containment inside itself of its very own subsets, hence every such St fails to be its Domain’s ‘“Set of All Sets”’, and thus definitionally self-requires yet a further ‘self-iteration’, to St+1, and so on. 

 

Now, note that, for each ‘self-iteration’/stage t, the entire set, St, reappears inside what was its [former] ‘“self”’, St, as its own “improper” subset, and as a new element within set St+1, together with all of the other, “proper” subsets of St.

 

For example, consider the set {x, y, z}.  Its set of subsets is of cardinality 


 2|{x, y, z}| = 23 = 8, and 2{x, y, z}  =


{ {x}, {y}, {z}, {x, y}, {x, z}, {y, z}, {x, y, z}, {_} },


wherein {_} denotes the “empty set”.

 

If we designate {x, y, z} to be S1, then –


S2  =  S12  =  S1 ´ S1 = S1(S1) =

 

S1 È 2S1 =  {x, y, z}  È  2{x, y, z}  = 

{ x, y, z, {x}, {y}, {z}, {x, y}, {x, z}, {y, z}, {x, y, z}, {_} }


– whose cardinality is 11.

 

For each stage t, all of St reappears inside what was St, along with the other subsets of St, and thereby creates St+1.  Moreover, all of 2St ‘‘‘re-enters’’’ into the “inner space” of St, thereby changing St, into St+1.  Thus St changes itself, by anideo-auto-kinesis’ [cf. Plato; cf. Marx]. 

 

Indeed, St «aufheben»s itself, in a classic set-theoretical model of ‘the reflexivity paradigm of dialectics’; and a classic model of, dialectical, ‘self-developing process’.

This self-motion or self-movement of St is driven by the very definition of St, and even by the very name of St, that is, by the very nature of St.  

 

That is, the set St determinately negates itself, as St, by becoming not-St’ in the determinate form of St+1, which is qualitatively unequal to St

 

The set St also conserves itself inside the set St+1, by becoming an element of the set St+1

 

The Set St also elevates itself, by becoming St+1, a set of cardinality higher than that of St, and also of higher Russellian-Gödelian “logical type”, and also a set of expanded qualitative, ideo-ontological’ content, containing additional, new “intensions” – new qualities – as represented by new “extensions”; the new elements that are the ‘extensional-predicate’ subsets of set St.


So, the ‘“Set of All Sets”’ self-operation/self-operator/-self-function thus fulfills all three moments of the classic «aufheben», or dialectical, process – determinate negation, conservation, and elevation.  

 

The general solution to the ‘quadratically nonlinear finite difference set-equations’

 St+1  =  St2  =  St È 2St 

– is the ‘meta-exponential’ equation –

St  =  S02^t

– in which the ‘mere exponent’, 2, has a higher exponent of its own, its ‘meta-exponent’, t.  In this solution function, the form of the ‘Dyadic Seldon Function equation’ is already presaged.

 

Typically, S0 would be the “Universal Set” for the Universe of discourse in question, call it U, so that S1 would be S02^1   =  S02 = U2 = U È 2U  the “Universal Set” of the Domain, ‘“plus”’ all of its subsets.  


However, for a Domain whose present elements-content is the result of an historical ‘meta-genealogy’, in which all of the rest of its elements arose from a single ‘«arché»-element’ ultimate ancestor, S0 might be chosen to have just that ‘«arché»-element’ as its sole explicit content.  


In that case, the successive, consecutive steps of that Domain’s ‘“Set Of All Sets”’ would recapitulate the ‘meta-genealogical’, ‘element-ary’ history of that Domain, to-present – but, possibly also, those later steps might predictively ‘pre-construct’ future elements of that ‘meta-genealogy’.  

 

This, ‘“Set of All Sets”’, ‘self-developing [ideational] process’ thus provides an abstract metaphor for each stage, each epoch, of the physical process of ‘“Natural History”’; of the ‘self-meta-evolution’ of our cosmos – in short, of the ‘“Dialectic(s) of Nature”’, each stage modelable, in the NQ ‘arithmetic for modeling dialectics’, as 

qx ® qx <´> qx  =  qx2  =  qx(qx)  = 

qx <+> qxx [see ‘dialectogram’ diagram below

– and it was the metaphor that led to Karl Seldon’s discovery of the ‘self-reflexive functions’ that we have named ‘‘‘The Seldon Functions’’’.
