Dear Psycho-History Discussion Participants,
A new book has just been released by Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica,
entitled --
A Dialectical "Theory of Everything" -- Meta-Genealogies of the Universe and of
Its Sub-Universes: A Graphical Manifesto
-- see:
www.adventures-in-dialectics.org . . .
This book begins with a series of 21 definitions of key terms/concepts. The
first definition is that of Psycho-History!!!
I could be wrong on this one, of course, but I think it may accomplish, for Psycho-Historical Dialectic, including for
Platonian and Hegelian Dialectic, +, at long last, what
Boole did for Aristotelian, +, formal logic with his 1847 "The Mathematical Analysis of Logic", and his 1854 "Investigation of the Laws of Thought"!

The book is in the form of a "coffee table" image-book, replete with diagrams,
and other "grams", in vibrant full color, lit up like a Medieval "illuminated
manuscript".
Here's the text from the front and back "flaps" of the "dust cover" jacket --
"A Dialectical Theory of Everything — Meta-Genealogies of the Universe and of
Its Sub-Universes: A Graphical Manifesto
Volume 0: Foundations (Edition 0 – December 2010), from F.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 of dialectic. Foundations presented include a
unification 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, 'onto-qualitatively', the dialectical self-evolutions,
and 'self-meta-evolutions', of our «kosmos» as a totality, which also predicts a
next major «kosmos» self-development, and which summarizes the dialectical
"theory of everything" that gives this work its title.
A dialectical, categorial progression of systems of '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 first system. The second system is a
'purely-qualitative', "non-standard model" of N arithmetic [i.e., the first
four, "first order" Peano Postulates hold for this system], with a
'contra-Boolean' algebra, founded upon a hitherto-unnoticed, strong negation of
Boole's "Fundamental Law of [formal-logical] Thought".
See Prelude Letters, below, for more background on the content of Volume 0.
Volume 1: Geneses (Edition 0 — 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' (Edition 0 —
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.
Volume 3: The Dialectic of Nature (Edition 0 — forthcoming)
from F.E.D. Press
Volume 3 explores 'self-meta-evolutions' of human society as processes of later
natural history, including those of the human-social relations, and of the
human-social forces, of human-societal self-reproduction. It also addresses the
parallel development of related human thought-modes, including a
psycho-historical-dialectical mathematical 'meta-model' of the 'dialectic of the dialectic itself'."
Happy New Year!

Miguel
