Part 06:  The Seldon Dialogues, Excerpts --

The Epitome of a ‘Multi-Ontic Cumulum’ as a Physical Actuality.

Dear Reader,

FYI --

It is my pleasure, and my honor, as an Officer of the Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.] Office of Public Liaison, to share with you, from time to time, as they are approved for public release by the F.E.D. General Council, key excerpts from the internal writings, and sayings, of our co-founder, Karl Seldon.

The sixth such release in this new series is pasted in below [Some E.D. standard edits have been applied, in the version presented below, to the direct transcript of our co-founder’s discourse].

ENJOY!

Regards,

Miguel Detonacciones,

Member, Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.],

“... the epitomic instantiations of our concept of ‘multi-ontic cumula’, as an external[-to-mind], physical actuality, is the molecular/atomic/... ‘‘‘proto-stellar cloud’’’.

“From this ‘‘‘proto-stellar cloud’’’ as ‘‘‘premise’’’, as ‘‘‘ground’’’, so much else in the ‘onto-dynamasis’ of our «kosmos» has already followed, and still will follow, we hold -- in our solar system at the very least.”

“From such ‘‘‘proto-stellar clouds’’’, stars are born.”

“Later, with sufficient reproductive accumulation of higher atomic species, produced by those first stars, and by their successors, themselves, and deposited, by them, into the thus increasingly “metalized” interstellar media of the galaxies, planets are born -- as we lately know so much more than before.”

“Later still, there is born all of the life both within and atop [some] planetary lithospheres [and planetary hydrospheres], we expect, in their biospheres, and in their noospheres.”

“These ‘‘‘proto-stellar’’’ “molecular clouds”, self-developing into “accretion disks”, begin with an ontology of, yes, “molecules”, but also with one of ‘exo-molecular’, ‘pre-molecular’, and ‘proto-molecular’ “atoms” and more.”

“At length, these ‘‘‘proto-stellar clouds’’’ give birth to stars, to planets, and, in many cases, we hold, to living cells, to multi-cellular organisms, to animal societies, to human societies, and, we expect, to ‘the META-human’ and beyond. ...”
