Dear Readers,
The images pasted-in below form the
'Solution-Specification' for the
Dialectical [
Meta-]
Equation [
Meta-]
Model described by their
'Models-Specification', imaged immediately above them.
Such
'Solution-Specifications' constitute a new tool for communicating the
content of
Encyclopedia Dialectica Dialectical [
Meta-]
Equation [
Meta-]
Models to its readers, and via the excerpts of that
Encyclopedia that we have made, and are making, publicly available prior to the publication of the
Encyclopedia proper.
The
Domains that are defined in
Encyclopedia Dialectica, are defined -- yes -- textually, narratively, i.e.,
'phonogramically', and, to some degree, also pictorially, i.e.,
'pictogramically', therein.
But, most richly of all, these
Domains are defined
'ideogramically', precisely by such
Dialectical [
Meta-]
Equation [
Meta-]
Models for the
categorial progressions which both express and explain [theorize] those
Domains.
Up to the present, we have made public mainly
excerpts from the full
solutions /
'semantifications' of the
Dialectical [
Meta-]
Equation [
Meta-]
Models that we have described publicly -- and therefore, as
excerpts, also only partially -- to-date.
The new
'Solution-Specification' format, debuted in this blog-entry, tonight, and, also tonight, on the
Glossary Page of the
www.dialectics.org website, provides for a brief statement of the
base,
premisses, or
ground of the given
Domain and of its
Dialectical Meta-Equation Meta-Model, including its
<<arche'>> category, and the kind of Seldon Function -- e.g.,
Dyadic or
Triadic -- that its
Dialectical Meta-Equation Meta-Model employs, followed by a listing of the
F.E.D. solution for the
meaning of each of the terms that follow from that
ground, and whose algebraic descriptions are generated by that
Dialectical Meta-Equation Meta-Model, consecutively,
term-by-term, in
dialectical order.
The
specific example featured in the
Dialectical [
Meta-]
Equation [
Meta-]
Model imaged below, as
'Solution-Specification', and as
'Models Specification' , is one of the most accessible, most prosaic, most familiar, and, perhaps, therefore, most
useless, of all of the examples of
Systematic Dialectical Method-of-Presentation Models that we have ever made public so far.
However, as such -- precisely because of its
uselessness due to
'already-knowned-ness' -- it may prove
useful in providing an advantageous avenue, for readers new-and-not-'[k]new' to the
F.E.D. Dialectical Method -- rooted in the
Dialectical Algebra of the
NQ_ 'First Dialectical Arithmetic' -- to
ease their assimilation of that unfamiliar, by means of this patently
familiar example.
This example is that of the -- somewhat arbitrary [
quarter =
2.5 dimes =
five nickels], and somewhat antiquated --
system of the
physical coinage of the currency of the U.S.A.
This simple
dialectical model ends up as a
presentation -- in
systematic, or simpler-to-more complex,
dialectical order -- of the
'categorial combinatorics' representing the cases/categories of "change", or of payment, that are possible using, exclusively, the
common coinage of the U.S.A.: something that every reader who habitually uses this coinage already knows, at least implicitly -- all too well.
However, in
'''systematizing''' and
'taxonomizing' such a well-known
Domain for such readers, this
dialectical model may convey, for such readers,
the simple essence of the
F.E.D. Dialectical Method that uses the
Dialectical Algebra of the
NQ_ 'First Dialectical Arithmetic', and may do so better, more readily, with greater facility, than any of our earlier "primer" expositions.
