The Generic Octadic Format for Dialectic as Applied to ‘‘‘HISTORICAL [DIAchronic] DIALECTICS-in-General’’’.



The Generic Octadic Format for Dialectic as Applied to ‘‘‘HISTORICAL [DIAchronic] DIALECTICS-in-General’’’.







Dear Reader,


The F.E.D. General Council has recently released an Octadic-Format dialectogramic summary/overview of our generic meta-equation meta-modelas applied for Diachronic, HISTORICAL DIALECTICS-in-General, for its epochs t = 0 to t = 3.

A JPG of this dialectogram is scheduled to be posted to the F.E.D. main web site’s Applications Page, to its section entitled Universal Algorithmic-Heuristic Categorial Combinatoric Ideographical Dialectical Method [Octadics, JPG8] --



For your convenience, I have also posted these dual-model’ images below, together with above, an image about our Dialectical-Encyclopedic Principle of dual modeling.


Regards,

Miguel

The SYSTEMATIC Dialectic of the CONTEMPORARY human-social formation, to presentation step s = 3 -- New Summary ‘Dialectogram’ co-depicting ‘allo-hybrid’ & ‘auto-hybrid’ socio-ontological categories together.


The SYSTEMATIC Dialectic of the CONTEMPORARY human-social formation, to presentation step s = 3 -- New Summary Dialectogramco-depictingallo-hybrid&auto-hybridsocio-ontological categories together.







Dear Reader,


The F.E.D. General Council has just approved release of a new, summary dialectogram, to presentation step s = 3, for a ‘‘‘systematic, synchronic-dialectical method of presentation of our contemporary human-social formation’’’, a formation that is common across much of our planet today. 

The meta-equation meta-model for this method of presentation is the synchronic, systematic, presentational counter-part to the diachronic, [psycho]historical meta-equation meta-model presented here in an earlier blog-entry.  Further exposition of that [psycho]historical meta-equation meta-model counter-part is available in the PDF text reachable via the following URL --


This new summary dialectogramco-depicts both theallo-hybridand theauto-hybridsocio-ontological category-symbols generated by this meta-model, together, in a unified format.

This image is scheduled for later posting to the F.E.D. main web site Applications Page --



For your convenience, I have pasted-in the JPEG of this image, together with that for its diachronic counter-part, below.


Such pairs of dialectogramdiagrams, and the pairs of dialectical meta-equation meta-models that they attempt to depict, are central to one of the key principles of duality that characterize our concept of a Dialectical Encyclopedia[i.e., of an ‘«Aufheben»-icEncyclopedia].  For eachDomain to be extensively defined and described in such an encyclopedia, the first-presented dialectical meta-equation meta-model describes the known history of that ‘Domain, up to its present meta-state.  The second-presented dialectical meta-equation meta-model describes the present meta-state of that ‘Domain in detail.  The first-presented dialectical meta-equation meta-model may also then be iterated and solved further, to beyond the present meta-stateof that Domain, to provide a prediction/pre-construction of the encyclopedists’ expected future for that Domain.

Evolutionary Theory Beyond “The Modern Synthesis”.



Evolutionary Theory Beyond The Modern Synthesis.







Dear Reader,



I recently posted a comment to an [old] blog-entry, entitled “Is the “Modern Synthesis” Effectively Dead”, at --


-- as follows:

I have become aware of a new tradition in ‘‘‘evolutionary theory’’’ -- and in ‘meta-evolutionary theory’ -- that is also critical of the fetters upon evolutionary theory that had been imposed by “The Modern Synthesis”.

This new tradition is even critical of the very term “natural selection”, because of its subliminal connotations of some human-like agent [as in the “artificial” selection involved in human domestication of plant and animal species], i.e., some [pseudo-]subject, even some “divine” agent, “choosing” genomes, whereas the scientific essence of the Darwinian paradigm is one of differential rates of self-reproduction of populations, such that the populations exhibiting the highest SUSTAINED rates of self-expansion/of self-reproduction are the “fittest”.

More central to this new tradition is an evolutionary paradigm that extends -- and rigorously so -- the category of “evolution” to trans-genomic processes, and, hence also, to ‘meta-dynamics’ of ‘self-developing process’ in our cosmos that arose both before and beyond “biological evolution” per se, via their concept of ‘self-meta-unit-ization’, or of ‘self-meta-holon-ization’.

This new evolutionary paradigm can be stated, in general form, as follows:  populations of individual units of a given kind arise, by an earlier process of ‘meta-unit-ization’, which then successfully self-reproduce in expanding quantities [quantitative change as “mere” evolution], to the point where local ‘physical-spatial concentrations’, or ‘self-densifications’, of those units become sufficient to trigger the next consecutive step in ‘meta-evolution’; the irruption [‘meta-evolution’ as qualitative, ontological change, via a kind of ‘metafinite singularity’] of a new kind of units’ populations, via combinations of some of these units into ‘meta-units’, each such ‘meta-unit’ being made up out of an organized, heterogeneous multiplicity of its predecessor units.

Specific cases of this general ‘meta-evolutionary meta-dynamic’ would include the irruption of eukaryotic living cells from ‘pre-eukaryotic’ or “prokaryotic” living cells, by “endosymbiosis”, or “symbiogenesis”.

But such specific cases would also include the irruption of “composite” bosons and fermions from their “non-composite” brethren/ancestors; of atomic nuclei from composite “particles” [protons and neutrons] in “cosmological nucleosynthesis”, and; of molecules from atoms, e.g., in primordial “atomic clouds”, self-becoming “molecular clouds” -- all pre-biological cosmological phenomena.

Such specific cases of ‘meta-evolution by population meta-unit-ization’ would also include the formation of humans-led ‘meta-societies’, wherein multiple “social animal” and ‘social plant’ species-populations, as units, unite to form a higher kind of unit, via ‘‘‘mutual domestication’’’. 

The latter constitutes a necessarily post-biological phenomenon, in that the ‘meta-evolutionary’ irruption of such ‘humans-led meta-societies’ presupposes the prior stages of biological ‘meta-evolution’:  ‘pre-eukaryotes’ --> ‘pre-eukaryotes’ + eukaryotes --> ‘pre-eukaryotes’ + eukaryotes + [asocial] multi-[eukaryotic-]cellular organisms [“metazoa” and “metaphyta”] + social organisms [“social animals” and ‘social plants’].

Writings about this new [meta-]evolutionary paradigm are available via:  www.dialectics.org .
