Dialectical ‘Meta-Equation’ that Models the ‘Meta-Evolution’ of
the Human-Social Relations of Production.
by [Guest
Author] Hermes de Nemores.
Dear Reader,
Questions have recently been raised, in ‘www’ dialogues in which I have participated, as to what Karl Seldon derived, and how he derived it, with regard to the global system of ‘Democratic Communism’, or of ‘Marxian democracy’ -- of ‘Political-Economic Democracy’ -- as the global successor system to the global capitalist system, using the dialectical algebra that he discovered in 1996.
Such questions deserve an answer.
This post summarizes the second part of
Seldon’s answer.
It was extracted from writings of Hermes de Nemores,
Secretary-General of Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica, and chairperson of its General
Council, from his recent update to an introductory text, whose earlier version
is available via --
[see, in particular, pages B-24 to B-37 in the latter].
-- and which I have adapted to the locally-available
typography.
Enjoy this second part of Hermes de Nemores re-telling of
Seldon’s amazing story of discovery!

Example 5: NQ Psychohistorical-Dialectical ‘Meta-Model’. The ‘Meta-Equation’
of Human-Social Relations of
Production ‘Meta-Evolution’
[Part 2 of 9].
Historically Specific
Commentary,
Epoch t =
1. The 'Intra-Duality' of ‘Raw Appropriation’,
from the Vanishing Point of Human 'Use-Value-Added'. This larger '''story''' also includes the story of the
[hu]man[ual] 'Appropriation' of the 'raw' products from diachronically earlier, pre-human Nature, ingredient in co-present,
synchronic, extra-human Nature, by palaeo-proto-human[oid]s,
which led, at length, with the physical-spatial concentration, or 'densification', of such activities, to a 'second
degree' of such Appropriation, to ‘Appropriation squared’ -- to a deeper Appropriation of the potentially
humanity-useful properties of many pre-human/extra-human ‘Nature-al’
objects/products.
This deeper Appropriation is enacted by human
agents, by their
initially probably accidental, and only later deliberate, 'inter-Appropriation' and 'inter-Application' of portions of extra-human Nature; by applying raw-Appropriated objects/natural
products to other such objects/products; by the deliberate,
human-intensional bringing to bear of the natural properties of one aspect of
"raw" Nature
upon other such aspects, by the actions of 'human[oid]-natur[e-]al' subjects/agents.
The archetypal image of this 'self-reflexive', 'second Appropriation' and 'second degree', or 'nonlinear', Appropriation; 'Appropriation of the Appropriation itself' -- 'raw Appropriation squared', or 'meta-Appropriation' -- is the deliberate striking of
one kind of stone upon and against an Appropriately other kind of -- e.g., “glassy” --
stone, to form a blade or burin.
This act epitomizes the
transition from a human praxis limited to the 'mere' Appropriation of 'raw' Nature, to the continuation/«aufheben»-conservation of that 'mere Appropriation' plus ['+' or '~+~'] the increasingly skillful
hand[i-]'crafting'
of increasingly 'refined' "Goods" --
A ---> ~<A> = A x A = <A>2 = <A + D<A> > = <A + qAA> = <A + G> ¬{<,=,>} A.
The equation specific to our generic ‘meta-equation’, >-|-<t = <A>2^t, for its epoch t = 1, is
>-|-<1 = A + G.
The emergence of G from out of this 'self-opposition', 'self-antithesis’, or 'self-duality', within A, indicated via ‘~’ as ‘self-relation’ sign --
i.e., out of A
~ A -- 'explicitizes' and 'outers' or 'externalizes' that 'essence-ial' internal, implicit, immanent, inherent intra-opposition within A, i.e., within the human-social activity
/ praxis of "raw" Appropriation of the productions
of 'pre-eval' or pre-human, and of 'co-eval', contemporaneously 'extra-human' Nature, by means of the A operation '''over-coming''' or 'coming-over'; 'over-going' or 'going-over' -- and thereby also
'internalizing', 'contain[er]izing', and hence «aufheben»-'containing' -- itself; 'subsuming' or 're-entering into' itself, that is, by A's construction of a 'meta-A', made up out of the manifold
multiplicity of, and including the multiplicitous '''cross-Applications''' of, A, as the 'Natur[e]al' result of a mounting, developed,
'pleni-populated', 'self-densified' praxis of A.
Repetition or iteration of this Appropriation operation -- in
effect, a self-Appropriation of the "Raw" Appropriation activity itself; the self-Application of the "Raw" Appropriation action/operation --
is what progressively partially deepens incipient humanity's Appropriation of 'non-human Nature', and thereby increasingly
negates the "predicate" or epithet "Raw" initially attached
to this activity of "Appropriation".
This repetition cumulatively
negates that epithet, in the direction of its opposite; of the 'not-Raw’, i.e., of the "worked-up", of the "finished", of the "refined"; of art/artisanship/artifice/artificiality/'arti-factuality'.
Incipient humanity thus moves
increasingly in the direction of the 'hu-man-u-f-act-uality'; of the for-human-consumption-human-improve-ment,
of Nature --
of ‘extra-human’ Nature,
and of ‘‘‘human Nature’’’ alike, as a reflexive
consequence of the former.
Out of this movement, there
arises asn increase in the 'fitness' and 'fitting-ness', for human use/consumption, of the heterogeneous «monads» of this socio-ontological category
of humans-Appropriated non-human Nature-products, pf this Appropriation of Nature's [other] productions, for its human product[ion]s; for human Nature, for human use, via human labor upon/'''added to''' that non-human Nature /«physis»; by the
human further-making of a thus 'humanized Nature'/«anti-physis»; of an 'objectified
human agency’,
or ‘objectified
subject-ivity',
via this making-objective of human 'subjecthood'; this outward 'image-ing' and
reflection of human faculties and needs in, into, and onto the world exterior
to the human body; the formerly exo-human Nature, by this 'exo-reflection' and
‘exo-projection’, of what was within, in[to] its without. Thus --
Humanity = the
[self-]Human[ifying] part of Nature is part of Nature as Totality.
The self-application of this 'Raw Appropriation operation' is the
following 'Contra-Boolean Process' --
Raw
Appropriation<Raw
Appropriation> = <Raw
Appropriation>2 ¬{<,=,>} Raw
Appropriation;
<Raw
Appropriation>2 - Raw Appropriation = Goods-Making = Craftsmanship.
The before-cited epitome of this deepening Appropriation, of this 'meta-Appropriation', including of this deepening 'cross-Appropriation', is the striking of one rock, held in one hand,
say a somewhat "glassy" rock, thus fitted, by its 'compositional Nature', to hold a sharp edge after
fracture -- a [f]act by then '''known''' to the mind that 'held' the hands
that held the two rocks -- by and against another rock, held by that same
[proto-]human[oid] mind in its other hand, that other rock, say of a species of
"harder" rocks, fitted by their characteristic 'compositional Nature' to fracture the
"glassier" rock upon impact, creating tools, '''burins''', '''blade’’’-edged rocks, objects existent in pre-h Nature' only "'by accident"',
but, here, a deliberate result.
Using these two kinds of rocks --
these two kinds of raw Appropriations -- against each other, i.e., 'contra-' one another, thus gives birth to
blades, burins, as initial «monads» of a new socio-ontological
category of 'Goods'; to rudimentary,
'human[oid]-hand-made', '[hu-]man-u-fact-ur-ed' art[e][f]acts; to human-improved-for-humans
products of human labor; products of
[self-]human[izing] and of [self-]human-ized Nature.
This act[ion] of the con-current, 'co-Appropriation' of two natural
products of differing qualities, harder versus "glassier", is orchestrated via
human agency so as to bring these two contrasting "'raw'" properties
mutually to bear upon one another, thus enacting a 'cross-Appropriation' of these qualities,
and resulting in the creation of a species of physical objects with qualities,
'''predicates''', or '''properties''' not normally extant in an earlier
'meta-state' of Nature,
a 'meta-state' devoid of the definite, historically-specifically human 'species' of
agency/'subject-ivity'/'subject-ness', and of its
collectively-/cognitively-contrived social ‘praxes’.
The formula 'A<A>' or 'A of A' -- the formula connoting the '[self-]Appropriation of
Appropriation [itself]' -- also connotes 'serial Appropriation(s)', the iterated re-Appropriation and deepening ‘‘‘raw'’’ Appropriation of the already, previously ‘‘‘raw’’’-Appropriated.
The latter is instanced in the sequential
stages of use-value-added '[hu-]man-u[al]-fact-ur-ing' or '''hand-making''' operations upon the ‘‘‘work-in-process’’’/‘‘‘work-in-progress’’’ objects/objectifications of
previous raw-Appropriation-activity, as in the
'''Neo-lithic'''/'''Chalco-lithic'''-emergent molding, and later, the
'proto-metallurgical' firing, of Earthen clay jars.
The advent of the so-called "artificial", the very advent of the «anti-physis»
itself, inheres in this deeper and iterated Appropriation/cross-Appropriation of the "Natural" -- of the '''pre-human'''/'''extra-human''', or
of the 'exo-human' ontology of the Cosmos.
It inheres in this deepened and iterated-Appropriation / cross-Appropriation of the «physis» by and for
the human outgrowth of that very "Nature"/«physis». It is above all necessary to avoid
repeating the error of taking the dialectic
of '«Natur» # «Geist»' as any kind of Kantian radical dualism.
This >-|-<1 = A<A> = A + G is the incipient form of the growth
of the human-societal self-force
of human-societal/communal self-re-production,
hence also the growth of the ‘Meta-Darwinian’ fitness
of the emergent, and ‘self-emerging’, self-developing complex unity of the Human Phenome/Human Genome.
The «genos»
qAA = G does not, in fact, connote a ‘one-«species» «genos», whose units, or «monads», are all of
a single ‘sub-kind’.
The phrase “universal Appropriation”, of the universalization of the «modus operandi», ‘‘‘technique’’’, or
‘‘‘technology’’’ of human Appropriation of the Totality of Nature, “raw”, also carries connotations
of Appropriations, as expropriations, of the human Appropriators themselves, as well
as the connotations of Appropriations of the human Appropriations themselves, which we have
explored heretofore herein, and which issue forth as Goods-productions, as we have seen
above.
Thus, on the darker side, universal Appropriation/universal expropriation
also includes the seeds of the later, slavery and serfdom social relations of
production, and includes practices of inter-band warfare
[the ‘self-hunting’ within early proto-humanity], and of cannibalism [the ‘self-consumption’
of early proto-humanity].
Universal predation, the universalization of human
predation, includes connotations of predations upon the human predators
themselves, by [the][other] human predators themselves -- connotations of a
‘self-predation’ going on within early proto-humanity.
The existence of the parasitical social relation of
production of human slavery
does not arise immediately, because, for a long time, the level attained by the
primaeval growth of the human-social forces of production is insufficient to
support slaves and slave labor.
Under those, primaeval, conditions, keeping, e.g., war captives, alive
as slaves costs more food, etc., than any “equivalent”, let alone surplus, in Goods, that slave’s labors can
produce within the limits of the available technology. At this stage in the development of the
human-social forces of production, prisoners, taken in the interminable
inter-band and “inter-clan” wars, are killed, e.g., ritually sacrificed --
thereby also further terrorizing and intimidating opponents -- and/or
cannibalized, not enslaved. The slave-relation can first arise, in its
first, patriarchal, familial forms, only on the basis of, and as an offshoot
of, an advanced development within the t = 1+ epochs of G, but it can persist, or re-emerge, in modified forms,
even as late as the t
= 4+ epochs of K, of «Kapital».
The existence of the social relation of production of serfdom presupposes agricultural production -- since
“serfs” are, by definition, agricultural laborers -- i.e., the serf-relation
presupposes a deeper degree of G.
It
presupposes the “human improvement, with respect to human consumption needs,
of the raw products of extra-human Nature”, all the way to the degree of “The
Neolithic Revolution”,
and, specifically,
to the degree of the “domestication” of, e.g., ‘sociaL plants’, as well as of “sociaL animaLs”, by humans, and also, consequently, of the, self-reflexive, ‘self-domestication’ of humans by humans, as well as of the, reflexive, “domestication”, of humans, by “sociaL animaLs”,
and by
‘sociaL plants’, including the
alteration of the genomes of such animaLs and pLants by humans-conducted artificial
selection; by humans-orchestrated selective
breeding.
That is, the existence of the
serfdom-relation
presupposes human-social internalization of,
and “cultivation” of, e.g., “sociaL animaLs”, and ‘sociaL pLants’, in a way which increases their “Darwinian fitness” -- their rates of species
biomass reproduction -- beyond the levels of fitness that they could obtain unaided,
in the wild, and which does so by ‘Human-Phenomic’ means, in ways which, symbiotically, also increase the ‘Meta-Darwinian fitness’ of the human-Phenome/human-Genome
complex unity
-- ‘the rate of human socio-mass self-reproduction’.
The serfdom-relation can thus first arise only on the
basis of, and as an offshoot of, an advanced development within the t = 1+ epochs of G, but it, too, can persist, in
modified forms, into later epochs as well.
