YOU ARE A FRACTAL – The «Aufheben»-Dialectical, Scaled Self-Similarity Content-Structure of YOUR VERY BODY!

YOU ARE A FRACTAL –

The «Aufheben»-Dialectical, Scaled Self-Similarity Content-Structure of YOUR VERY BODY!

Dear Reader,

The _NQ dialectical ideography-/mathematics-for-dialectics describes what we call ‘qualo-fractals’ – ‘qualo-fractal content-structures’ – “purely”-qualitative and finitary ‘‘‘fractals’’’ [see illustrations below, covering both synchronic and diachronic ‘qualo-fractals’].

By a ‘qualo-fractal’, we mean a finitary self-similarity regress -- a regress of scales or levels, encompassing a finite number of scales/levels, such that each scale bears a resemblance to all of the other scales/levels so encompassed.

The _NQ ‘first dialectical arithmetic/algebra’ is an ideographical language that is limited, in its powers of expression, to “purely”-qualitative, ontological aspects of actuality. [This arithmetic/algebra is not really qualitative- only, because ordinal quantity is «aufheben»-contained and implicit within it, via the first-order-logic-only Natural Numbers’ “Peano Postulates” axioms-systems category, which we denote by N_, that the _{N_}Q_ axioms-systems category subsumes.]

However, reality is not so constrained [nor are the higher axioms-systems categories in the dialectical categorial progression of the E.D. ‘mathematics for dialectics’].

More richly-described, more determinate actual fractals can better be described as ‘quanto-qualo-fractals’, because their levels/scales occupy distinct “niches” -- e.g., in terms of quantitative size -- although all scales remain united together and interconnected, each scale to its next higher scale, and each scale to every other scale, in its native fractal ‘content-structure’, via the «aufheben» processes and relations of ‘meta-«monad»-ization’, or ‘meta-unit-ization’.

Consider your self – your own body.

At its deepest presently-known, root scale, your body contains “non-composite bosons and fermions” -- e.g., electrons, gluons and quarks.

In the next scale up, these “non-composite bosons and fermions” are contained in the protons and neutrons of atomic nuclei, and in the atoms which include those atomic nuclei.

Next up, you contain molecules, made up out of the atoms of the immediately-previous scale.

Raise your attention one discrete unit of scale higher, and you will know/see that your body contains life-giving sub-cellular organelles – e.g., the mitochondria – that are the «aufheben»-conserved remnants of once free-living “prokaryotic” cells, ‘aufheben-ated’ in the formation of the eukaryotic cells of which your body’s tissues and organs are genomically made.

Next scale up: Organs and tissues, made up out of the eukaryotic cells that all contain your same genotype.

Final somatic scale: Your body as a whole, made up out of the organs and tissues of the immediately-preceding scale.

Thus, all of exo-human Nature – all of the scales and kinds of ontological units or «monads» that are still present and «aufheben»-conserved externally to your body, outside of your body and all around you – are also «aufheben»-conserved internally, inside you body, including the micro-organisms of your gut micro-biome.

This ‘quanto-qualo-fractality’ -- this ontological, finitary fractality -- expresses the dialectical, «aufheben»-relations of ‘The, Systematic, Dialectic Of Nature NOW’, built up by, and the result of, the dialectical, «aufheben»-processes of the ‘The, Historical, Dialectic Of Nature PAST.

The ‘dialectograms’, and their commentaries, posted below, expand upon our view of the phenomenon of ‘dialectical qualo-quanto-fractality’ more generally.
