Karl Seldon.

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

and for [further] instantiations of, these Seldonian insights, please see --
In particular, regarding ‘The Gene-ral
‘‘‘Law’’’ of Nature and Its Seven Epochal Species to-date’ -- A ‘NO “Meta-Laws” Perspective’, please see --
ENJOY!

Liaison,

“...The momentaneous ontology of our «kosmos» continually gives birth
to new ontology, thus producing a future as a new present, and that new ontology alters the very “laws” of Nature, that is, it re-sets the behavioral limitations
of the ontological
content of our «kosmos».”
“Many today still
view ‘exo-human Nature’ as a Domain
of “dead” matter, of zombie-like «stoff», robotically repeating the same “laws of Nature” patterns of behavior over and over again, in utter monotony.”
“But what if that “matter” makes its own ‘‘‘laws’’’? What if it produces and reproduces those ‘‘‘laws’’’, in ever-modified
forms,
and even creates brand new ‘‘‘laws’’’, new ‘‘‘laws’’’ corresponding to the new ontology that it epochally creates, and thus as a consequence
of its own actions, of its inherent, immanent, ineluctable activit(y)(ies), which manifest(s) its ‘intra-duality’,
and, indeed, its ‘intra-multiality’?”
“Such a view is akin to one about which Charles
Saunders Peirce wrote
-- about Nature’s ‘‘‘laws’’’ as habitual rather than as “eternal”; as ultimately transitory, more or less enduring ‘‘‘habits of
Nature’’’.”
