APPENDIX Z24: Context Heretofore, we essentially generally operated without overall context. Most elds of knowledge have oated essentially on their own (or linked to close elds) in an ineffable and greatly inexplicable cosmos. Not explicated- by or tethered-to an all-enveloping metaphysics. Summa, however, offers a powerful all-embracing context and integrated thesis. While the author and […]

APPENDIX Z23: Explication Q4P ∞ is perhaps also explicated as – The cosmic Supra-Instinct & Essence. The underling cosmic Progenitor & Dynamic. The cosmic Common-Denominator & Imperative. The font, essence and drive of the cosmos. The [Divine] Qi of the Cosmos. The (elusive) [Chinese] Tao – the “source of everything.”* a The (elusive) [Jewish] Lurianic […]

APPENDIX Z22: The Q4P ∞ ‘Package’ …Includes but is not limited to the components Recursive / Looping upon itself / Self-Referencing / Iterative / Self-Sustaining* a As argued, “Possibility” is the sole “dynamic” which can arguably have been eternal. This is “self-evident.” Then hypothesizing that Q4P ∞ evolved from “Possibility” is, respectfully, not a major […]

Filed under Uncategorized.
APPENDIX Z21: The Assertion/Claim The assertion/claim herein is that Summa is the optimal working hypothesis for a unied and integrated metaphysics. Of course, like all hypotheses, it should be probed, challenged and debated. While it is certainly true that Summa frontally challenges the heavily-entrenched academic status quo, perhaps Summa’s hypothesis is actually right. Perhaps that* […]

APPENDIX Z19: The Data Comporting to the data v. Data proving the hypothesis Metaphysicians doing metaphysics seek an all-embracing hypothesis, at-a-minimum comporting to the data. Metaphysicians seek ‘aesthetic elegance.’ Physicists doing physics want testability. They want data proving the hypothesis. To them, a successful experiment is by denition elegant. To them, Grand Theory metaphysics is […]

APPENDIX Z18: A Fix-It “Conceptual Plug”? The Summa series started out with God and Evil (1988). In that work it was demonstrated how Q4P ∞ potentially might not just solve the classic philosophical- religious conundrum of Theodicy, but would seem to simultaneously solve as well several other key philosophical issues in metaphysics. As pointed-out in […]

APPENDIX Z16: Atheist v. Potentialist Atkins* v. Birnbaum consonant with Summa: “simplicity” “…The only clue we have at the outset is that the nal answer will almost certainly be one of extreme simplicity, for only the perfectly simple can come into existence…. what we perceive of as complexity may be the outcome of chains of […]

APPENDIX Z15: Gnosticism (selected WIKI excerpts)* “Gnosticism (from gnostikos, “learned”, from Greek: γνῶσις gnōsis, knowledge) is a modern scholarly term for a set of religious beliefs and spiritual practices found among some of the early Christian sects called “gnostic” (“learned”) by Irenaeus and other early Christian heresiologists. The term also has reference to parallels and […]

Comments Off on APPENDIX Z14: “Nothing”.
Filed under Uncategorized.
APPENDIX Z14: “Nothing” It would be incorrect, of course, to imply or infer that Summa maintains that NOTHING preceded all. That position, respectfully, would, by denition, be a metaphysical ‘dead end.’ The ‘starting point’ of the cosmos is not NOTHING. Rather, Summa proposes that ‘Potential/Possibility’ was/ is eternal. And ‘Potential/Possibility’ is clearly a far more […]
