PUZZLE-PIECES OF MATHEMATICS, VERSION 1.5

Variables are the atomism of history.

Every formalism eclipses a new dimension.

Dimensions are modular, and other archetypes.

Math is merely one type of formalism.

Theories exist in 'open space'.

Every idea is its own kind of system.

HOW TO DO MATHEMATICS WITHOUT DOING MATHEMATICS

Predicate calculus can be pretty limiting.

Take everything you know (maybe infinity), and think again!

Concepts Close to My Heart

1. Archicu-Texture, a palette showing all textures, of symbolic importance. Here is a drawing I made of this archetypal object, without the textures:

2. Panopticon of Archaic Birds. A relatively detailed book dating from an expensive place in an authentic time. It is sacred to time-travelers. It might feature images similar to this one:

3. Masterful Self-Resistance. My first intepretation of "Self-Reliance".

4. The Qualific Science, a book I have not written.

5. The baubble: the subtlest of objects, said to have magic powers. Often takes the form of a small stone or talisman. When the powers are unlocked, it loses strength until it is destroyed.

6. The Tabard: a flag hung from a horizontal rod or wire that can be used to format a variety of symbols when the cloth of the flag is ivory-colored. The Philosophers' Cross for example, or the Dimensional Aperture. When the flag is Chinese it can contain metaphysical symbols, as in my drawing called Organ Tabard Fractal.

           

7. The Metaphysical Art: not only a writing about metaphysics in three dimensions, but an entire approach combining aesthetic and metaphysical ideals into Asceticureanism.

8. Asceticureanism, such as Spiritual Writings.

9. Myself. My Soul. Psychology. Meaning. Amicable Solutions. Books of Symbols.

LEVELS OF THE ARCHETYPAL SUBLIME

LEVEL 1: A Flawed Painting

"Abstract W7" by Nathan Coppedge

LEVEL 2: Stylish Personal Items

A handbag from Etsy. "Styluses" from Etsy.

LEVEL 3: The Life of Picasso

A near-perfect composition by Picasso.

LEVEL 4: Surrealism / trick symbolism

"The Persistance of Memory" by Salvador Dali.

LEVEL 5: Most Non-Evocative Op-Art

An example of (evocative) Op-Art by Baartman.

LEVEL 6: 1 Mathematical Hyperbolic Geometry

From the forthcoming Dimensional Mathematics Toolkit.

LEVEL 7: The Best Work of Braque, Malevich, or Max Weber

LEVEL 8: A Rain Forest

An image of a rainforest.

LEVEL 9: Mon Crests of Japan

A Japanese heraldic crest.

LEVEL 10: Metaphysical Typology

Chinese Box, from Nathan Coppedge's "Systemo".

LEVEL 11: The World of M.C. Escher

A work by M.C. Escher.

LEVEL 12: The Roichus / Eridianism

LEVEL 13: The Mime or The Mime Chamber (I had also called it Midnight the Clown): a dream I had of a clown that walks into and out of a room shaped like a Yin-Yang. His hat is shaped like a pagoda, which is oh-so-significant: the immortal within the transient also originally called 'God winking'.

Generalize about the best examples, and we can create an entire universe that is Sublime!

Symbols I have Collected Over the Years

LEFT: A symbol of dimensional philosophy, tentatively called "The Aperture". I have used it as a logo for The Dimensional Encyclopedia.

LEFT: "The Amalgam". I used this as one of the major stages of personal development in my psychology book, a stage that precedes The Universalist and The Integrator.

LEFT: "The Arc of History". From a dream.

LEFT: "Dream Door" from earlier work. The frown shape actually represents an entrance onto the sublime through inverted forces.








I also have a book of symbolism in the works. The nearest thing I have published so far is The Book of Uniques (Coppedge, 2014).

It's the Dark Emperor Archetype (Humor)

There might be some shadow figures that are much more qualified...

Oh? But they didn't invent perpetual motion!

Fade into the shadows, false immortals!

Your next-best option is to be Picasso!

Interface Euphoria 9.0

Jet Potion

Verge's Virgins

Etc.

Synesthetic Fibrillator

A fibrillator (fluctuating device, such as a reed instrument) involving synesthesia (the overlap of multiple types of sensory input). A continuation of a theme of pseudo-scientific ideas, synesthetic fibrillator can be treated as a kind of archetypal classification similar to the Aolian Harp, the Golden Braid, or Pan's Pipe.

Essentially, quantity overlaps with system and quality variables, producing a kind of synergy in which these types can become "fossilized" in eachother. For example, sensations recorded in systems become music, and quantity recorded in systems becomes classification. Quantity recorded in sensations becomes digital language or codification.

So the fibrillator relates these secondary aspects of its utility, namely codification, classification, and music. These in turn become overlapping categories which establish identities for sensations. Through correspondence---which transpires in synesthesia---codes are musics, classifications are codes, etc.

But what is the imputation of the device? Clearly there is a "vertical" series of centers, such as biological integration, interface interactivity, and social networking that corresponds to sensations and the various languages which may express them. And, like these vertical centers, other horizontal or diagonal centers may exist which also embody a sensory paradigm.
