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 8th 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 –

“We find that, often, for new users of our dialectical algebra and method, that, even after they have learned to ‘semantify’ hybrid category symbols with two distinct subscripts, they still find the determination for a uni-vocal, or single-subscript, solution for “raw” subscripts-combinatoric, multi-vocal/unsolved hybrid category-symbols with three, four or more distinct subscripts to constitute a daunting task.”

“So, to help any such users in this blog’s, growing, audience, let’s segue all the way to the opposite extreme – to ‘‘‘culminant’’’ and ‘near-culminant’ hybrid category-symbols, which feature, in their unsolved forms, up to the maximal number of distinct subscript epithets, or subscripted character(istic)s, that are available in their native epochs – and explore for what objective realities, or real ontology, such category-symbols might stand, using such category-symbol terms from the ‘Everything Domain’, D = " ‘dialectical meta-equation’.”

“Consider category-symbol q₆₃ <--] q_pmar[cx].  

We have solved it as representing, for example, the unit called “planet Earth”, when it had ‘meta-evolved’ only to the presence of organization no higher than that of prokaryotic living cell units, but wherein those units had ‘‘‘appropriated’’’ or ‘‘‘internalized’’’, into their, primitive, biospheric system, aspects of all earlier ontology then present on planet Earth: of some of the units of the m, a, r, & perhaps, also of the c and x levels of organization.”

 “Again, consider category-symbol 

q₁₂₇ <--] q_epmar[cx].  

We have solved it as representing, for example, planet Earth, when it had ‘meta-evolved’ only to the presence of organization no higher than that of eukaryotic living cell units, but wherein those units had ‘‘‘appropriated’’’, into their, primitive, biospheric system, aspects of all earlier ontology then present on planet Earth: of some, not all, of the units of the p, m, a, r, & perhaps, also of the c and x levels of organization.”

 “Or consider category-symbol 

q₂₅₅ <--] q_bepmar[cx].  

We have solved it as representing, e.g., planet Earth, and other planets like our Earth, when they had ‘meta-evolved’ only to the presence of organization no higher than that of multi-eukaryotic-cellular ‘meta-biota’ units, but wherein those units had ‘‘‘appropriated’’’, into their biospheric system, aspects of all earlier ontology then present on planet Earth: of some of the units of the e, p, m, a, r, & perhaps, also of the c and x levels of organization.” 

 “Next, consider category-symbol 

q₅₁₁ <--] q_lbepmar[cx].  

We have solved it as representing, e.g., Earth-like planets, when they have ‘meta-evolved’ only to the presence of organization no higher than that of “social”, proto-language-based, ‘meta-meta-biota’ units, but wherein those units have ‘‘‘appropriated’’’, into their biospheric system, aspects of all earlier ontology then present on those planets: of some of the units of the b, e, p, m, a, r, & perhaps, also of the c and x levels of organization.”

“Finally, if you will, take a step into the ‘symbolic-preconstructive’, predictive mode of this dialectical method, and consider category-symbol –

q_1,023 <--] q_hlbepmar[cx].” 

 “We have solved it as representing, e.g., Earth-like planetary units, when they have ‘meta-evolved’ to a human[oid] political-economic-democratic global federation of nation-states, a ‘planetary polis’, and wherein these planetary units have ‘‘‘appropriated’’’ and ‘‘‘internalized’’’, into their ‘noo-biospheric’ systems, aspects of all earlier ontology then present therein: of some but not all of the units of the l, b, e, p, m, a, r, & perhaps, also of the c and x levels of organization.”

“This category does not “fill the bill” for a “Kardashev Type I” civilization – one able to “access all of the energy available on its planet and store it for consumption”.  We are not even convinced that such a definition is meaningful, or possible to actualize.” 

 “ ‘Kardashevism’ sounds rather ‘convolute-ish’ — as if all of the ontology on such a planet were to be internalized into an advanced human[oid] society, leaving no units of all earlier ontology ‘evolutely’ outside of that human organization, whereas we have found, objectively, that most processes of such ‘meta-evolutionary transition’ are ‘‘‘evolute’’’, or at least ‘covolute’.” 

 “Let us call what category-symbol

q_hlbepmarcx 

could plausibly stand for, e.g., in Earth’s future, an ‘Appropriation level 1’ civilization, so that we solve for it symbolically – as, indeed, representing a humanity that has “harnessed”, but as not having totally swallowed and ‘‘‘digested’’’, all of its predecessor ontologies – solving it, univocally, as:

q_hlbepmarcx  |-=  q_A1.”

 

“We have taken off the subscripted brackets, ‘_[’, and ‘_]’, by which we had formerly enclosed subscript epithets ‘_c’ and ‘_x’, because we suspect that the harnessing of “Dark Energy” – if, indeed, it, and not the “dilaton”, was responsible for the, superluminal in velocity, early “cosmological inflation” accelerated expansion of physical space – will be involved in the design of the superluminal velocity interstellar vehicles that will be essential, we hold, to the next two, y and z epochs, of [meta-]human, and of cosmological, ‘meta-evolution’.”

Dear Reader,

 

The overall ‘dialectic of Nature’ ontological-categorial progression model for the dialectical partial synthesis category, ‘synphysis’ category, or ‘uniphysis’ category, symbolized by q_ma – which includes the macro-cosmological hybridization processes of molecule-units-interacting-with-atom-units, still ongoing today – is represented, via the _NQ dialectical language’s dyadic Seldon function, with that function-form operating upon the ‘Regenerist Hypothesis’s “Dark Energy” ‘spandetron’ units’ «arché»-category, q_x, and is, partially [‘¶’], solved by us as follows –

 

 

q_x²⁵  =  q_x³²   ¶|-=  

 

q_x <+> q_c <+>  q_cx <+>  q_r <+>     

 

q_rx <+> q_rc <+>  q_rcx <+>  q_a <+>

 

q_ax <+>  q_ac <+>  q_acx <+>  q_ar <+>     

 

q_arx <+>  q_arc <+>  q_arcx <+>  q_m <+>

 

q_mx <+>  q_mc <+>  q_mcx <+>  q_mr <+>     

 

q_mrx <+>  q_mrc <+>  q_mrcx <+> q_ma <+>

 

q_max <+>  q_mac <+>  q_macx <+>  q_mar <+>     

 

q_marx <+>  q_marc <+>  q_marcx <+>  q_p.

 

 

– with ontological category q_ma solved – 

[‘|-=’] 

– by us as representing, primarily, the cosmo-ontological category of ‘‘‘molecular-atomic clouds’’’, q_d. 

 

 

“molecules” and/versus “atoms”.  Within the above-written cosmological-ontological, dialectical [i.e., ‘multi-«aufheben»-izing’ – ‘multi-meta-unit-izing’] ontological-categorial-progression, is the sub-progression that forms the focus of this blog-entry, namely –

 

 

q_m <x>  q_a    =   q_a <+>  q_ma    

|-=  

q_a <+> q_d.

 

 

This component-subprocess, categorizing and ‘character-izing’ [i.e., algebra-izing] molecule units/atom units inter-actions, can well-describe later, so-called “molecular clouds” – in the deep past, and still today – which must have begun, in the, mainly, Helium-atoms-and-ions/Hydrogen-atoms-and-ions/“sub-atomic particles” early phase of our cosmos, as “atomic clouds”, initially containing no molecules, not even, rudimentary, ‘proto-molecules’ like HeH⁺; not even ‘“di-atomic”’ molecules, of self-bonding Hydrogen atoms, like H₂.

 

Later, especially with the enrichment of these clouds with atom units of higher-atomic-number/atomic-weight species, such as Carbon atoms, Nitrogen atoms, Oxygen atoms, as well as atom units of many other atoms-kinds as well, born of stellar nucleosynthesis, these “atomic clouds” became what are officially called “molecular clouds”, but which are really – back then, and still today – ‘‘‘molecular-atomic clouds’’’.

 

That is, they are inter-stellar, intra-galactic ‘conversion-formations’, in which atoms are converted into molecules, catalyzed by the molecules already so-produced, albeit with some back-conversion, or down-conversion, of molecule units, disintegrating back into atom units.  

 

These clouds are dialectical complex unities of atom units being up-converted into molecule units, and of molecule units being, e.g., thermally-‘collisionally’, ‘retro-converted’, back down into free-floating, separate atom units, albeit with a bias toward up-conversion of atom units into their molecule ‘meta-units’.

 

Original Accumulation of Molecule Micro-Units in Initially Atoms-Only ‘Atomic Cloud’ Macro-Units.  The production and expanded reproduction of molecule units in primordial, poor-metallicity, mainly He | H atom units atomic gas clouds in the early universe was slow.  This was because it depended upon inefficient, direct gas-phase collisions among, mainly, Hydrogen atoms, Helium atoms, as well as between those two kinds, to form ‘proto-molecules’ like HeH⁺ – a proton particle unit associated with a Helium atom unit [thus ‘micro-cosmological’ units of category q_ar, which also includes the ‘macro-cosmological’ units of large, hot, new stars] – and to form diatomic, ‘self-atomic’ molecule units like H₂ [thus units of a rudimentary species of category q_aa |-= q_m], to cool, shield and densify molecular clouds toward their reproduction of new proplyds and new stars. 

 

Free Hydrogen atoms infrequently form ‘di-Hydrogen molecules’, H₂, by direct, molecularly-unmediated and molecularly-uncatalyzed, gas-phase collisions, because the photons that such collisions emit cannot easily carry away the full excess kinetic energy typical of such collisions, so that, e.g., colliding neutral Hydrogen atoms more often ricochet off of one another in such collisions, rather than chemically cohering and bonding to one another. 

 

But even this gradual molecularization of the early ‘atomic clouds’ does set up for the births of new stars, hence for their stellar nucleosynthesis of higher species of atom units/-atomic nuclei [“metals”], and for the enrichment of their accumulating higher atoms units-kinds content in later, e.g., new, ‘atomic-molecular clouds’, thus with potential to produce and reproduce higher and richer varieties of molecule units.

 

Stages of Expanded Reproductive Accumulation of Molecule Units in Later ‘Molecular-Atomic Cloud’ Units, Mediated and Catalyzed by Molecule Units already Produced.  The higher atom-kinds enrichment, or the “metallization”, of later ‘atomic-molecular clouds’ leads to the production and reproduction of higher molecule units – higher in volumetric size, in mass, and in complexity – and to the formation of interstellar “dust grain” units. 

 

Each typical dust grain unit, inside a developing ‘molecular-atomic cloud’, is an amalgam of myriad atom units and molecule units, and thus as ‘micro-cosmological’ units of category q_ma |-= q_d, the ‘cosmo-ontological’ category that also includes the ‘macro-cosmological’ units that are the later ‘molecular-atomic clouds’ themselves.

 

The cores of these dust grain units eventually typically consist of amorphous silicates – minerals made up out of silicon, magnesium and iron atom units – carbon-aceous solids – graphite, polycyclic hydro-carbons and soot – and ‘eu-metallic’ compounds – with sub-unit bits made of iron-nickel and sulfide.

 

These dust grains then mediate or catalyze more rapid formation of higher molecule units on their surfaces, by providing a substrate for atomic/molecular reactions. 

 

In the cooler sub-spaces within these, ‘acceleratedly’, molecularly self-enriching ‘macro molecular-atomic cloud units’, gas-phase atom units and molecule units condense onto the dust-grains’ cores, in forms including water ices [H₂O] especially, but also in the forms of Carbon oxides – e.g., solid CO and CO₂ ices; Hydrides – e.g., frozen methane [CH₄] and ammonia [NH₃] molecule units, and Organic Refractories – complex carbon-chain molecule units. 

 

Thus, and thereby, the formation of new, including higher-mass, higher-atoms-count molecule units, from atom units, is catalyzed by the molecules already produced, and forming dust grain substrates promoting further, molecule-units-building, chemical reactions.  

 

Free, gaseous atom units land on the colder surfaces of dust grains and stick there, held there by weak forces.  Lighter atom units diffuse thermally across those dust grain surfaces until they collide with other trapped atom units or molecular radical units, with which they then bond chemically, forming new molecule units. 

 

The solid dust grain units absorb the excess kinetic and binding energies of such bondings, acting as a thermal sink that reduces the high rates of re-dissociations that such energies would otherwise drive.  But the newly-formed molecules also use mere fractions of that, their formation reaction-energies, to unstick themselves from their weak adhesion to the dust grain units’ surfaces, thus propelling themselves back out into their ‘molecular-atomic’ gas cloud’s gaseous phase.

 

As the ‘molecular-atomic cloud’ grows denser with new, concentrated atom and molecule units, it self-gravitationally contracts, and shields its deep interior from the stars-emitted ultraviolet photon “particle” units that would otherwise break the bonds of their molecule units.  Under these cold, dark conditions, gas-phase molecule units freeze out onto the dust grain units’ surfaces, building up a millimeters-thick layer of the so-called “dirty ice” molecular components listed above. 

 

These “dirty ice” layers work like high-density, multi-element chemical reactors.  Molecular radical units and atom units trapped in these ices interact to synthesize complex organic molecule units, such as methanol, methyl formate, and various amino acid precursors.

 

While dust grain units trigger the initial catalytic substrate for expanded production and reproduction of molecule units, the gas phase within sufficiently ‘atomo-molecularly’ enriched ‘molecular-atomic cloud’ macro-units also create a network of rapid [re]production of new molecule units, catalyzed by high-energy cosmic rays.  Unlike ultraviolet photon particle units, cosmic ray particle units can penetrate through to deep inside these dense cloud units, knocking out their myriad atom units’ orbiting electron particle units, thus ionizing those atom units, into ions like H₃⁺, He⁺, and C⁺.

 

Given that such ionized atom units and neutral molecule units apply strong electrostatic mutual attraction upon one another, they collide, and coalesce into molecule units, much more rapidly than do neutral atom units.  The resulting, thus barrierless, atomic-ions/molecules reactions rapidly self-organize complex carbon-chain higher molecule units, even at temperatures only slightly warmer than absolute zero.

 

The thickening, densifying dust grains composition of the cloud units also absorb and scatter incoming stellar ultraviolet photon particle-units, shielding newly-made and older-made molecule units alike from photo-disintegration.

 

On the Dialectical Nature of the Opposition Between Atom units and Molecule Units.  The dialectical opposition between atom units and molecule units is one that we cannot directly, sensuously perceive, since both are far too minute for our unaided eyes or fingers to detect.  That opposition is produced via a concrete negation operation, yielding a ‘‘‘negativity’’’, a specific ‘not-ness’, that distinguishes the two.  That [self-] negation operation is not any “abstract negation” operation, that obliterates its operands into nothingness.  It is a “determinate negation” operation, a self- «aufheben» self-operation, by which multiples of atom units coalesce themselves into single molecule units, negating their ‘mere-atomicity’ determination, but also conserving that ‘atom-ness’ inside their collective new ‘molecular-ness’, and uplifting themselves into the higher size/mass/complexity scale of molecule units, leaving behind their former atoms-only complexity scale and level.  These atom units thus collectively continue, by adding a new stage to, the multi-stage ‘qualo-fractal’ scales-progression that began, per our hypothesis, with the ‘spandetron’ units of “Dark Energy” themselves.

 

Dialectical, Ontological Category-Symbols’ subscript Commutability and Meaning-Duality.  Note that category-symbol q_ma [generically q₂₄ = q₁₆₊₈] has the same ‘‘‘order-number’’’ [the same ‘ordinal-quality generic subscript index’] as does category-symbol q_am [q₂₄ =  q₈₊₁₆] – i.e., is the 24th category-symbol in this ‘Dialectic of Nature’, ‘cosmo-ontological’ category-symbols progression. 

 

The latter, q_am, can be solved as representing another syntactically possible ‘cosmo-ontological’ process within atom units/molecule units combinations/complex unities. 

 

 

Specifically, commutated category-symbol q_am might well, for example, be solved as describing the conversion –

catalyzed by remaining atom units, e.g., by high-enough-energy, high temperature collisions, of molecule units with remaining atom units – back into separate atom units. 

 

 

Similar molecule units disintegration may result from “hot collisions” among molecule units themselves, or, e.g., by “photo-dissociation”/“thermal dissociation”, of molecule `units, back into their constituent, separate, atom units, due to high-energy stellar ultraviolet ray photon “particle” units, impinging upon them [better described by the higher ordinal-quality-number, commutated category-symbol

q_arm [® q₂₈, whose ‘uncommutated’ form, for us, is our standard category-symbol q_mar [® q₂₈ ].
