Systems Expressed in Modulo 2

Historical Theories (dialectic structure)

1. History is a material progression.
2. Critical theory implies a dialectic of history.

Math (linear structure)

1. + / - operators define space.
2. The result is meaningful, because it expresses numeric values in two dimensions.
3. Two-dimensionality allows mapping of more complex equations.
4. Because math is more useful than before, math must be useful.

Coherent Categorical Deduction (logical structure)

1. Opposites are exclusive of all but neutrals.
2. The only pure neutral is zero.
3. All words have opposites, however absurd.
4. A word can be found for anything that has a concept.
5. Opposites must be opposed diagonally, to have the longest possible distance.
6. Either comparisons cancel out (opposite vs. opposite), or direct comparisons must take place between non-opposites within the set.
7. In quadra, therefore, there are only two combinations (with A arbitrarily selected as primary, and secondary choices having no express set order): AB-CD and AD-CB, since opposites must remain in opposite positions, but secondary opposites can exchange places.
8. Since no other combinations are possible in term of the expressed categories without producing either opposition or a different, equally exclusive, and non-contradicting category set (since only opposites contradict, and opposites are always expressed within the existing set no matter how many sets there are), the two combinations can be deemed coherent for quadra.

My book The Symbolics has a bestseller rank!

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Just over 100 pages, this small and significant book combines knowledge and a high degree of selectivity, combined with insightful articles and primary descriptions to give the symbols nerd just what he or she needs: a dose of logic, meaning, and expert commentary, all from someone who has had a life-long passion for symbolism. In this volume, he explores the nature of symbolism, illustrating over 100 examples, including pagodas, fractals, birds of paradise, metaphysical systems, and many others selected for their symbolic importance.

Life Assistance / Magical Lore

At the entrance to Hell, if one is forced to make a bargain,
a simple bargain leads to being a male,
and a complex bargain leads to being female.


The real God is a god, and not being God is not-a-god?
Or perhaps it is more likely,
The real God is not-a-god, and not being a god is a god!
The second case seems more fair for everyone, since
God is the only one who could desire not to be God...
and everyone who is without godhood might need to make use of the powers...


In standard life, an important stage is the stage of admitting one's name.
When one admits the meaning of one's name, this is the time that one
acknowledges what sort of curse one tried to overcome.

New Foundation for Morality...

Since Hume's Guillotine, philosophers have had more trouble defending the idea of ethics generally. Here is my answer for the principle of ethics and morality:

"What is the source of morality? Perhaps the following: •A long life is more valuable than a short life. •A short life can be forgiven. Using this principle, the only way to be blamed is if one lives a medium-size life. But such is ridiculous by any standard! Therefore, if we have a standard (longevity or forgiveness), we are forgiven. But there is no getting rid of the standard. Hence morality."

Fundamentals of Science and Philosophy

FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE
1. Everything in science reduces to praxis.
2. Nature is at least structure, content, organization, and thought.
3. Number is the axis of imaginative science.
4. Identity is the legacy of information. Nature cheats when it can.

INTERMEDIATE SCIENCE
1. Black holes are visually condensed space-time, not physically condensed matter.
2. Heat is supposed to cause gravity.
3. Modular space admits of multiple universes.
4. Fundamental ideas may affect physical matter through logical evolution.

FUNDAMENTAL PHILOSOPHY
1. The meaningless is not supposed to be exaggerated.
2. Things are falling from all directions.
3. The principle is thought.
4. The mode is metaphysics

ADVANCED PHILOSOPHY
1. For every official formality, there is a universal degree.
2. After exclusive opposites, contradictions are resolved, and then extension.
3. Systems are formal ideas. Therefore, formality reduces to formality.
4. Ideas have dominions. The mind is the application of dominions.

PHILOSOPHICAL THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM MATH

Applicationism: so far as it can't prevent pain, philosophy is basically a reasoning enterprise.

Typological Wholeness: whole numbers are fairly sacred.

Process = Progress: if you want to add more process, it has to mean something.

Whole-Part Relations: subsets matter for the set.

Binding Formulas: oftentimes, logic requires specific formulations.

Maximal Incompleteness: if you want to be complete, you have to be good.

Coincidental Genius: what makes something good is that it is good, not that you think it's good.

Tropism: different rules hold under different conditions.

Standardism: accept or reject the rules, but formalism first and informalism second.

Populating the Data: structuring a system may require populations of lesser concepts.

Degrees of Abstraction: modes are clearly less than systems, but more than variables.

Conquer the Problem of Identity: avoid arbitrariness. Use acceptable categories.

Be Rigorous: make sure a system is a system, and not an arbitrary system.

Use Readable Language: more than being simple, being legible.
