Dear Reader,

 

Even just phonetically-written word units, in the Domain of Written Languages, D = WL, are already dialectical, «aufheben» ‘meta-unit-izations’ of phonetic character units, of phonetic letter units. 

 

Each word unit is an «aufheben» ‘meta-unit’ of/in-relation-to multiple letter units, each typical written word unit being made up out of a usually heterogeneous multiplicity of written phonetic letter units.  Exceptions to this description include examples such as the English words “a” and “I”, and the Spanish word “y”. 

  

In the _NQ ideographical-mathematical-dialectical language, those exceptions come under the ‘ideo-ontological’ category --

 symbolized by q_wl [---) q₃ -- 

not under the ‘ideo-ontological’ category symbolized by --

 q_ll |-º q_w [---) q₂.

 

 

This is because the systematic-dialectical category-symbol q_wl connotes the «aufheben» ‘‘‘elevation’’’ of an individual phonetic letter unit up into the higher ‘ideo-ontological qualo-fractal scale’ of typically multi-letter word units, albeit ‘‘‘elevating’’’ such words up into the exceptional sub-category of ‘single-letter word units’, as a kind of dialectical, categorial ‘‘‘synthesis’’’ of the quality of ‘word-ness’ and/with the quality of ‘letter-ness’. 

 

 

An analogous phenomenon occurs in the systematic dialectic of the Domain of television programming, D = TP, when standalone television program units, taken as being, in effect, singleton ‘‘‘episode’’’ units for non-series, serve as the units of this Domain’s «arché»-category, q_e [---) q₁, in the [rare, exceptional] cases of series which are cancelled right after the airing of their first, “pilot”, episodes. 

 

Such a pilot episode is part of such an aborted series, but of a series nonetheless.  Therefore, such an episode is not part of the category q_ee |-º q_S [---) q₂, which stands for the category of combinations of multiple episode units as the consolidated unit of the category of series meta-units, ‘«aufheben»-ing’ episode units, such that each series unit is made up out of a heterogeneous multiplicity of episode units. 

 

Instead, such a pilot episode – of a television series terminated after its pilot episode aired, and before any second episode could be completed and/or aired – belongs to the exceptions-category symbolized by --

 q_we [---) q₃.  

 

That category connotes a kind of «aufheben»-elevation of single episode units up into the higher ‘qualo-fractal scale’ of television series units, as a kind of dialectical, categorial ‘‘‘synthesis’’’ of ‘episode-ness’ and/with ‘series-ness’, per category-symbol q_we.

 

 

Back in the Written Language Domain, an “acronym” is a meta¹-unit of/in-relation-to word units, hence also a meta²-unit, or meta¹-meta¹-unit, of/in-relation-to written letter-units.  It thus forms a sub-category added to the category symbolized by the _NQ category-symbol --

 q_ww [---) q₄

-- whose main sub-category is that of phrases, q_p.

 

A phrase unit is a meta¹-unit to word units as meta⁰-units.  This is because each single phrase unit is typically made up out of a heterogeneous multiplicity of word units.

 

However, a typical acronym unit also fits the above description/definition, each such acronym unit also being made up out of a heterogeneous multiplicity of word units.

 

 

For example, consider the example of the acronym LASER, which became the new, ‘‘‘second-order’’’, “word”/noun/name, later/now written as “laser”: L-A-S-E-R is made up out of the following heterogeneous multiplicity of ‘‘‘first-order’’’ words – Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

 

 

This sub-category might also be connoted by the symbol for the ‘‘‘anti-category’’’ or ‘reverse category’ version of the, perhaps nearly empty*, sign q_pw, namely q_wp [---) q₆.  Given the order of its subscripts, q_wp connotes a category of cases of conversions of a phrase units ‘“back”’ into a word units.

 

 

*[Category-symbol q_pw connotes an «arithmos» of single word «monads» raised up into the ‘qualo-fractal ideo-ontological scale’ of the «arithmos» of phrase «monads»”: ‘single-word phrases’.]
