‘Dialectically Developing a Dialectical SCIENCE for a new ontological Domain’.

 

Dialectically Developing a Dialectical SCIENCE for a new ontological Domain

 

A Dialectical Order of Development’ –


Implicit in the Order of Presentation of the Meta-Systematic Dialectic of the Encyclopedia Dialectica Ideographies for Dialectics.

 

 

Dear Reader,

 

We have, in various posts herein, narratively, as well as in various ‘dialectograms’ [e.g., those posted below] outlined the Encyclopedia Dialectica ‘Dialectic of the Seldonian Arithmetics for Dialectics Themselves’.

 

That dialectic is of the Meta-Systematic Dialectics’ species, the third species of dialectics per the Encyclopedia Dialectica ‘Systematic-Dialectic of the Dialectic Itself’.

 

That is, its categorial progression presentation is not only a categories-progression presentation, it is also a systems-progression presentation. 

 

The categories, as «arithmoi», in this categorial progression, have, as their units, or «monads», the variant axioms-systems all inhering in the qualitatively, ideo-ontologically’ distinct family of axioms-systems that each category in this categories/systems-progression presentation represents.

 

It can be noticed that this sequence of dialectical-mathematical systems -- ordered by their increasing ‘thought-complexity’, ‘thought-concreteness’, ‘ideo-determinateness’ and ‘ideo-specificity’, actualizing increasingly-replete mathematical-language and mathematical-model descriptive power and richness -- mentally-embodies yet a different kind of order as well.

 

That other kind of order implicitizes a coherent, systematic, progressive, advantaged order of development for the new, incipient science of a new ontological Domain, perhaps one previously unknown, previously unexplored, and/or as yet unmastered scientifically.

 

The first eight solved categories/axioms-systems of the Encyclopedia Dialectica dialectical ideographies, in the long-form presentation version, and the steps in science-development that they prescribe, plus a few of their later systems/categories, are characterized below, in order of their ideographical-linguistic system descriptive power and richness.

AND SO ON

 

This progression of dialectical-mathematical systems suggests, to us, the following order of development for a science:


1Taxonomy – develop a system of ontological categories that systematically comprehends the categorial content of the Domain, i.e., in systematic order [not necessarily the same as the historical order of first manifestation], in a gradient from least complex/least determinate ontological category to the most complex/most determinate ontological category of the Domain to-date.

 

2Metrology – determine the “physical units”, the metrological “dimensions” needed to describe the present dynamics of this Domain, as described by means of ‘‘‘dimensional analysis’’’.

 

3Historical Ordering – The determination of the taxonomic -- systematic -- order of the categories of the Domain in step 1, generates also the desire to determine the historical order-of-appearance of the kinds of units basing each of the ontological categories that constitute and exhaust the Present Domain, thus reconstructing, categorially, the past history of the Domain.  On the basis of the Present ontology state, and of the reconstructed Past ontology-states, of the Domain, form hypotheses about its Future. These are thus predictive hypotheses, pre-constructing’, symbolically, the investigators’ expected irruptions of new, unprecedented kinds of units/ontology/«arithmoi» in the future of the Domain, as well as the new ontological categories corresponding to these predicted new, unprecedented kinds of units.

 

4Systems Dynamics – determine the families of dynamical systems that inhere Presently in the given Domain, e.g., a family of dynamical systems for each ontological category ‘“contained”’ in that Domain.  Build dynamical models that also contain singularities, self-bifurcations, etc., that point to the expected future systems-level dynamics of this Domain.

 

5Sub-Systems Dynamics – determine the families of dynamical sub-systems that inhere Presently in the given Domain, e.g., the families of dynamical sub-systems for each family of dynamical systems for each ontological category ‘“contained”’ in that Domain.  Build dynamical models that also contain singularities, self-bifurcations, etc., that point to the expected future sub-systems-level dynamics of this Domain.

 

6Sub-Sub-Systems Dynamics – determine the families of dynamical sub-sub-systems that inhere Presently in the given Domain, e.g., the families of dynamical sub-sub-systems for each family of dynamical sub-systems, for each family of dynamical systems for each ontological category ‘“contained”’ in that Domain.  Build dynamical models that also contain singularities, self-bifurcations, etc., that point to the expected future sub-sub-systems-level dynamics of this Domain.
