Dear Psycho-History Group Members,

Part I.

Pre-Note: The model of our "kosmos" presented herein is an 'ideo-graph-ical' model of the dialectic of the "physis", in the ancient Greek and philosophical sense of that term. A definition of that term thus seems useful at the very outset of this exposition. For example, the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, College Edition [1968], defines as follows --

"physis (fi'sis), n., pl. -ses (-sez). 1. The principle of growth or change in nature. 2. nature as the source of growth or change. 3. that which grows, becomes, or develops. ...".

Note also that this ancient Greek term,"physis", in its "combining form", of "physio-", or "physi-", resides at the [psycho-]historical and semantical roots of modern English terms such as "physics" and "physiology".


This exposition is based upon a new model of the universe set forth in writings by Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.], mainly as drafts of a book entitled Dialectical Ideography: A Contribution to the Immanent Critique of Arithmetic, and posted to the following website --

Introduction. Watch the "kosmos", in a Process of "Continual Emergenc[e](y)", Unfold Before Your Mind's Eye, in Simulation, via an Historical Dialectic of Nature Model with a 3-Symbol Seed --

n^(2^t)

-- wherein n[with underscore] denotes the primordial "arithmos" [ = "number of qualitative "monads", or units"; i.e., "assemblage of ontological units"] and "ontological category" that has "pre-nuclear "particles" " as its "monads", or "units", taken as the "historical premise" . . .
