Intent to publish The Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit



The book follows up unofficially on the work of Peter S. Fosl and Julian Baggini, by making great strides into the field of categorical and typological knowledge systems; The book is scheduled for release in early 2013, by Authorhouse.

The forms of knowledge present in the book make great strides beyond what I thought to be a rarified coherent system based on God and objects, which I wrote into my web publication, the Unity Project, a number of years ago.

Categorical knowledge will be a recurrent theme in future book projects, including a work I have already begun called How to Write Aphorisms: The Aphoristic Method. While this work may not be as initially popular as the 1-Page-Classics or the Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit, it seems possible that gradually the small numbers of sales from the entire collection will be mutually supportive, and determine that I have a minimum influence, if not upon future scholars, then at least upon a small sampling of students and "fringe thinkers". However, finding a means to advertise without paying a hefty sum has been difficult beyond belief.

Hyper-Cubism Available on Etsy

Hyper-Cubic paintings using a technique of overlapping multiple drawings.

For those interested in collecting Hyper-Cubism, this is the first major opportunity, besides waiting for me at a cafe.

Printed on canvas.

I've also added it to my links for future reference.

Coppedge's Law of Iteration

I've been promoting my idea of Coppedge's Law of Iteration on the web (Google+ Intel and Twitter.com).

"Qualia computation increases in proportion to exclusivity"

Compare Boyd's law: "The value of information increases in proportion to the number of iterations, not the quality of the iterations"


More about methods to be used with iteration and exclusivity in my upcoming book, The Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit.

Condensation Tower


I have a dream that I may have inspired an Israeli energy tower in Arizona. The plans to build this concept only materialized in May 2012.

I sent a file similar to this diagram to an Israeli academic. Only now I forget when the actual date was that I sent the image. So it may not be original afterall. But in 2000 Israel had no publically disclosed plans to build such a condensation tower.

A public library will order the 1-Page-Classics

Newton Free Library sent me an e-mail saying that they will order my book (I had previously contacted a large number of free libraries including Newton).

That means I'll have more exposure sometime in the next year, which is a crossing point for more serious dealings in the arts.

Recent Stages

I recently posted business cards around New Haven in an attempt to attract new audiences for my book, the 1-Page-Classics.

It is a complex book, and I think successful in more than one area. It is not exactly a novel, one reason the publishers decided to classify it as general philosophy (according to my behest) and also literary criticism---the last choice being not exactly fair, it's actually a small percentage of the content and more creative than revisionary. Some of the content is fiction based on pre-existing classics, and some of the other quasi-fictional content is actually original, or otherwise was interpreted from history (lost works) using psychic powers.

One question emerging in my mind recently is if, in addition to several books of philosophy, I may also publish an art book at some point. But it all depends on sales. I don't want to commit if there is no audience for any of my material.

I'm too superstitious to cross my fingers.

I found my old website---a website I no longer pay for

It turns out my old index page is still running at http://www.geocities.com/drypress/index.html

Also noted are my brother Brian's computer games, which are very entertaining---and he designed them. They may be found at http://www.geocities.com/drypress/BriansWebGames.html

Actually, one of the two games doesn't work the way it was posted.

Remember to de-activate NumLock, and the first game works up until the end.

This is a favorite style of architecture for me---

Reminds me of Hyper-Cubism. The style could be improved by a creative use of technology or public areas.

Is the new Apple headquarters inspired by categorical knowledge?

The recent design for the Apple Headquarters resembles a categorical diagram of eight sections, a functional symbol for coherent knowledge:

I've never been an Apple fan, but at least it's as though society is advancing. I have to have some respect for the "other half."

Cars inspired by Hyper-Cubism

Amongst the things that might be inspired by Hyper-Cubism on some level, is a recent automotive design:

http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/jaguar-f-type-arrives-2013-e-type-long-163031996.html

This might just be a 'zeitgeist' thing.

Another example is the design for the Westminster area in England. Divine time travel? Earlier examples? Dunno.

Free Hyper-Cubism, Maybe the Next Picasso

For those that don't know, I've been giving away free artwork at a cafe in New Haven.

Jojo's cafe has been the only cafe to allow me to do so. I try to give thanks to the owner as often as I can.

I've already given away over 100 artworks in the last year or so. The project will continue.

Many young women, including several Yale students have framed my artwork themselves.

In some ways its been the most inspiring activity of my life.

According to U.S. law by the way, artwork is an exception to the rule, it IS IN FACT LEGAL TO RE-SELL THE WORK.

FYI: It's value may grow.

Current major collectors include Gail Hardin (a former neighbor), and my father. There are others, but I'm terrible with names. Someone should make a list of the names and numbers of the artwork and who owns them. There are (at least) dozens. And I still have a big folder full. I produced three or four good ones today.
