MiguelD Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Science News Forum Participants, A new book has just been releasedby Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.], entitled -- A Dialectical "Theory ofEverything" -- Meta-Genealogies of the Universe and of Its Sub-Universes:A Graphical Manifesto. -- see: http://www.adventure...ctics-entry.htm Texts preparatory to this book areavailable for free download via -- http://www.dialectic...ics/Primer.html Here's the text from the front andback "flaps" of the "dust cover" jacket [modified for thislist's typography] -- "A Dialectical Theory ofEverything — Meta-Genealogies of the Universe and of Its Sub-Universes: AGraphical Manifesto. Volume 0: Foundations [Edition 0 – Dec. 2010, fromF.E.D. Press] This initial volume, Volume 0, sets forth the foundations of F.E.D.'s dialectical-mathematical" model of everything". Synthesizing ancient themes of dialectic, "autokinesis", and 'self-refluxivity' ['karmicity'], with modern themes of logical and set-theoretical paradox as "self-reflexivity", and of integro-differential equation"nonlinearity", evoked via both occidental and oriental sources from antiquity, and via modern developments in natural/social science, and in mathematics, this initial volume lays out foundations for a unified theory ofdialectic. Foundations presented include a unified theory of the traditions of Platonian and Hegelian dialectic, and the discovery, for the first time in human history, of a rich and versatile 'mathematics of dialectic'. This new 'mathematics of dialectic' is utilized to derive a seventeen-symbol equation, which models, qualitatively [via ontological category-progressions], the dialectical self-evolutions, and 'self-meta-evolutions', of our "kosmos" as a totality, which also predicts a next major self-development of this "kosmos", and which summarizes the dialectical "theory of everything" that gives this work its title. A dialectical, 'ideo-ontological' categorial progression of systems of generally 'qualo-quantitative', dialectical arithmetics, are modeled, using the second system in that progression, its first explicitly dialectical system, starting from "Natural Numbers", or N, arithmetic, as purely-quantitative [implicitly, 'pre-vestigially <<aufheben>>-dialectical via its Peano successor-function] first system. The second system is a 'purely-qualitative' [purely ontological], "non-standard model" of"standard" N arithmetic [i.e., the first four, "first order" Peano Postulates hold for this system as well as for the N system], with a 'contra-Boolean' algebra, founded upon a hitherto-unnoticed, strong negation of Boole's "Fundamental Law of [formal-logical] Thought". Volume 1: Geneses [forthcoming, from F.E.D. Press] Volume 1 recounts the genesis of the new dialectical mathematics in detail. Volume 2: Dialectical 'Meta-Models' of the 'Human Phenome' [forthcoming, from F.E.D. Press] Volume 2 presents 'psycho-historical dialectical meta-models', expressed via the new dialectical mathematics, which zoom-in on human-social constructions, including a 'meta-model' of the genesis of written language, a 'meta-model' of the development of ancient Mediterranean philosophy, and a 'meta-model' of the development of the "standard" arithmetics, starting from the N arithmetic as "arche'". Volume 3: The Dialectic of Nature [forthcoming, from F.E.D. Press] Volume 3 explores 'self-meta-evolutions' of human society, modeled via the new dialectical mathematics, as processes of later natural history, including those of the human-social relations, and of the human-social forces, of human-societal self-re-production. It also addresses the parallel development of related human thought-modes, including an historical-dialectical mathematical 'meta-model' of the 'dialectic of the dialectic itself', as well as detailing the development of the "Theory of Everything", "Dialectic of Nature Equation" 'meta-model' of the <<kosmos>> as a whole."
