Dear Reader,

 

 

The overall Encyclopedia Dialectica ‘dialectic of Nature’ ontological-categorial progression ‘meta-model’ includes the dialectical partial synthesis category, ‘synphysis’ category, or ‘uniphysis’ category, symbolized by q_be, in its 8^th model epoch.  

 

That epoch ‘‘‘contains’’’ the ancient macro-cosmological hybridization processes of multi-eukaryotic-cellular biota-units-interacting-with-eukaryote-single-cell-units, still ongoing today, but only known to occur, so far, on planet Earth.  

 

The epoch 8 model is excerpted, below, using the _NQ dialectical language’s ‘dyadic Seldon function’, with that function-form operating upon the ‘Regenerist’ Hypothesis “Dark Energy” ‘spandetron’ units’ «arché»-category, q_x, and is, partially [‘¶’], solved by us as follows –

 

q_x²⁸  =  q_x²⁵⁶   ¶|-º  

 

q_x <+> q_c <+> q_cx <+> q_r <+>     

 

q_rx <+> q_rc <+> q_rcx <+> q_a <+>

 

q_ax <+> q_ac <+> q_acx <+> q_ar <+>     

 

q_arx <+> q_arc <+> q_arcx <+> q_m <+>

 

q_mx <+> q_mc <+> q_mcx <+> q_mr <+>     

 

q_mrx <+> q_mrc <+> q_mrcx <+> q_ma <+>

 

q_max <+> q_mac <+> q_macx <+> q_mar <+>     

 

q_marx <+> q_marc <+> q_marcx <+> q_p <+>

 

. . . <+> q_be

 

– with ontological category q_be, corresponding to generic ordinal qualifier category q₁₉₂.  

 

Category q_be is partially solved-for [‘¶|-º’], by us as representing, primarily, the [cosmo-]ontological category of “ecto-symbiotic” natural formations combining just eukaryotic single cell units, q_e, with asocial multicellular biota units, q_b. 

 

 

 

“Multicellular Biota  & “Eukaryotic Single Cells”.  Within the above-written overall ontological, dialectical [i.e., ‘multi-«aufheben»-ating’, ‘multi-meta-unit-izing’] categorial progression, is the sub-progression that forms the focus of this blog-entry, namely –

 

 

q_b <x>  q_e    =   q_e <+> q_be.

 

 

This component-subprocess, categorizes and ‘character-izes’ [i.e., ‘algebra-izes’] – “stands for” – asocial multicellular biota units/eukaryotic single cell units interaction-units or natural-formation units.

 

Note: Our research on this hybrid ontological category has been assisted by AI research assistants.

 

 

Some Known Planet-Earth Instantiations of the ‘Dialectical-Categorial Partial-Synthesis’ Units of [cosmo-]ontological category q_be.

 

This ‘merely-hybrid’ ontological category is exemplary of dialectical synthesis categories in general in the dialectics of nature. 

 

For its cosmo-ontological model epoch, model epoch 8, with a total of 2⁸ or 256 ontological categories possibly extant, per this ‘meta-model’, category --

 

q_be [---> q₁₉₂ 

-- is a partial ‘dialectical synthesis category’, or ‘uni-category’, because it does not combine the subscripts of all of the ‘self-hybrid categories’ that are extant in model-epoch 8.  The epoch 8 ‘full synthesis’ merely-hybrid category/full ‘uni-category’ is -- 

q_bepmarcx [---> q₂₅₅.

 

 

 

“Self-Interactions of cellular q_e units: q_ee |-º q_b.

Units inhering in the ontological category of qe ‘self-combinations’ began on planet Earth in deep time, and, in the _NQ dialectics-of-nature short-hand, look like this, as a component calculation within the q_x²⁸ calculation overall:

q_e <x>  q_e    =   q_e <+> q_ee    |-º   q_e <+> q_b.

 

 

This ‘self-hybridization’ of eukaryotic single cell units led to lasting symbiotic relationships, many of which persist into planet Earth present.

 

 

The meaning of category-symbol q_be encompasses three major sub-categories of b with e interactions: what we call (1.) ‘exo-symbiotic interactions, or “ecto-symbiotic” interactions; (2.) what we call ‘endo-symbiotic’ interactions, and (3.) what we call predatory interactions, each addressed separately.  

 

 

 

1. ‘Exo’-Symbiotic q_be Sub-Category Examples.

 

Highly complex, external mutualistic coalitions between multicellular ‘meta-biota’ units and external eukaryotic single cell units are rife on our planet today.

 

In these non-predatory, non-parasitic coalitions, the b and e units are mutually-external, but closely and vitally associated.  These stable coalitions represent both evolutionary bridges and highly specialized modern ecological teams.

 

There are many widespread, ecologically vital cases of symbiosis combining multicellular eukaryotic hosts and single-celled eukaryotic symbionts in mutual externality, but in close association nonetheless.

 

In these relationships, the single-celled eukaryote lives closely alongside the tissues of the multicellular animal, plant, or fungus.  Some of the most prominent, documented examples of such dual-species partnerships include:

 

A. Giant Clams and Photosynthetic Algae

• The Multicellular Host: Giant clams (mollusks in the genus Tridacna, such as Tridacna gigas).
• The Single-Celled Eukaryote: Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates (the same family found in corals).

How it works: Unlike the case with corals, the single-celled algae do not live inside the clam’s individual cells.  Instead, they live inside a specialized, highly branched tubular system in the clam's colorful, sun-exposed mantle tissue.  The clam uses structural “iridophore” cells to act like tiny lenses, focusing sunlight deep into its tissues so the single-celled eukaryotes can photosynthesize efficiently and feed the clam from within.

 

B.  Lichens (Fungi/Green Algae natural formations)

• The Multicellular Host Units: Filamentous fungi (primarily Ascomycete or Basidiomycete fungi).
• The Single-Celled Eukaryote Units: Microscopic single-celled green algae (most commonly in the genus Trebouxia or Chlorella).

How it works: A lichen is not a single organism, but a composite framework.  The multicellular fungal threads (hyphae) weave a protective structure that shields the delicate, single-celled eukaryotic algae from drying out or being destroyed by intense ultraviolet light.  In exchange, the single-celled algae photosynthesize and supply the fungal matrix with food.

 

2. ‘Ecto’-Symbiotic q_be Sub-Category Examples. 

Highly complex, internal mutualistic coalitions between multicellular ‘meta-biota’ units and internalized eukaryotic single cell units are rife on our planet today.

 

Single-celled eukaryotic organisms form vital, mutually beneficial relationships with multicellular hosts, often driving the survival of entire ecosystems or enabling the digestion of complex nutrients.

 

a. Reef-Building Corals and Dinoflagellates 

This is the most ecologically significant animal-protist symbiosis on/in planet Earth.

 

• The Multicellular Host Units: Scleractinian corals (marine invertebrates in the phylum Cnidaria, such as Acropora or Porites species).

 

• The Single-Celled Eukaryote Units: Zooxanthellae (specifically dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae, such as Symbiodinium, Breviolum, or Cladocopium).

 

How it works: The single-celled dinoflagellates units live directly inside the gastro-dermal cell sub-units of the coral animal units. The algae units perform photosynthesis and share up to 90% of their organic nutrients (sugars and amino acids) with the coral units.  In return, the coral units provide the algae units with a protected environment, elevated access to sunlight, and “waste products” (carbon dioxide and ammonia) needed for photosynthesis.

 

b.  Termites and Wood-Digesting Protists

• The Multicellular Host: Lower termite units (invertebrates such as Reticulitermes flavipes). 

• The Single-Celled Eukaryote: Large, complex single-celled flagellated protist units (such as Trichonympha or Pyrsonympha). 

How it works: Termites feed almost exclusively on wood (cellulose), but they completely lack the enzymes required to digest it.  They rely on millions of single-celled protist units living packed inside their hindgut.  These single-celled eukaryotes swallow the microscopic wood particles via phagocytosis and ferment the cellulose into acetate, which the multicellular termite units absorb as their primary energy source.

Note: Because termites are “eusocial” insect-animals, the above example is actually a specimen of category 

q_le [---> q₃₂₀.   

 

c.  Green Hydra and Chlorella

• The Multicellular Host: The green hydra (Hydra viridissima, a small freshwater cnidarian). 

• The Single-Celled Eukaryote: Zoochlorellae (specifically single-celled green algae like Chlorella vulgaris). 

How it works: The single-celled algae units live inside the gastrodermal cell sub-units of the hydra.  Under normal sunlight, the algae units synthesize maltose (a sugar) to help feed the hydra units.  This symbiotic relationship is so highly evolved that even if the hydra units are starved of external prey, they can survive indefinitely on the sugars generated by their internal single-cell-unit partners.

 

d.  Marine Invertebrate Mutualists

• Philaster guamensis:
• Partners: Flatworm units with sea slug units.
• Description: This ciliated protist eukaryotic units form endosymbiotic relationships with multicellular marine invertebrate flatworm units, helping to recycle the flatworm units’ metabolic waste products into usable organic compounds for those multicellular host units while creating a stable, protected environment for the eukaryotic cell units, internalized into the flatworm ‘meta-biotic’ units.

    

The sample of specimens cited above show that the ‘‘‘dialectics-of-nature’’’, combinatoric ontological-category symbol q_be has Earth-immanent instances that represent symbiotic combinations.

 

Dialectical Nature of the Opposition Between Multi-cellular ‘meta-biota’ units & eukaryotic single cell units.

The ‘‘‘dialectical-categorial antithesis’’’ between ‘multi-eukaryotic-cellular meta-biota’ units and eukaryotic single-cell units – which is overcome for their ‘uni-category’ hybrid units, via a categorial dialectical synthesis – is one that we usually may not be able to directly, sensuously perceive, since at least the eukaryotic units are far too minute for our unaided eyes to see, or our fingers to feel. 

 

That opposition is produced via a ‘concrete negation operation’, yielding a ‘‘‘negativity’’’, a specific ‘not-ness’, that qualitatively, ontologically distinguishes the two. 

That [mutual-]negation operation is not any “abstract negation” operation, that obliterates its operands into a “nothingness” [cf. Hegel], e.g., into a, Boolean, 0. 

 

It begins in a “determinate negation” operation, starting with a self-«aufheben» self-operation, by which, e.g., multiple eukaryotic single-cell units coalesce themselves into single ‘multi-eukaryotic-cellular’ organism units, or ‘meta-biota’ – “meta-zoa” and “meta-phyta” – thereby determinately-negating their ‘eukaryoticity’ determination, but also conserving that ‘eukaryote-ness’ inside their collective new ‘meta-bioticity’ quality, and uplifting themselves into the higher size/mass/complexity scale of meta-biotic multicellular units, leaving behind their former ‘eukaryote-ness’-only complexity scale and level. 

 

These eukaryotic single-cell units thus collectively continue themselves, in extension, by adding a new level/scale to, the multi-level ‘qualo-fractal’ scales-progression, that began, per our hypothesis, with/from the “Dark Energy” ‘spandetron’ units – of “empty” physical space itself; of ‘the ‘spandetron expanse’ – themselves.

 

Then, once units of both the e ontology and the b ontology are in existence together, a further “determinate negation” operation, this time an allo-«aufheben», mutual operation, can ensue, by which, e.g., multiple eukaryotic single-cell units coalesce with multiple ‘multi-eukaryotic-cellular’ organism units, or ‘meta-biota’ units, to form ‘merely-hybrid’ new units, which dialectically synthesize the e qualities and/with the b qualities, to form natural formations which are neither simply of the b kind, nor simply of the e kind, yet partake in both qualities, but are, overall, of a new, q_be or q_eb kind.
