Sid Thomas S*-ing to Power

S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

Completing Totalities

The Philosophy of Completing Totalities

And the hierarchy of Absolute Ideologicals (Token-inclusive universes of discourse)

(Continuing project: defining reality through deconstruction of the signs used in communicating it. Here, the 7 levels of token types as pure form are applied to the analysis of an important class of sign-uses)

*****/


Absolute Ideologicals are signs whose text is a token of a self-inclusive domain, as “sign is a sign”. They occur typically in self-predicated doublings, as in “Form of Forms” (‘geometry’ would be a study of that, in relation to space); “Lord of Lords” (‘theology’ would be a study of that, as the totality-completion personified). (Others are “I of I” (or “I and I”), “remembering to remember”, etc..)

The unconscious uses AI’s to hide its next level of development from consciousness (“it’s* behind here” = *door to the inaccessible).

“Intelligent Design”: deconstruction of the debate.

This projects a misleading dyad comprised of: a mentalistic term (“intelligent”) of questionable application apart from brain-awareness psychology; with a vacuous pseudo descriptive (irrefutable claim; it excludes nothing; any ordered process shows some design) in order to psychosemiotically engineer specific split-control brain-wave processing loops.

By doing this it injects an Absolute Ideological into common collective discourse, with all the ramifications that implies. (see elsewhere: the splitting function of ideological sign-use) Its use sets up a link, or bridge through the words “intelligent” and “design”, themselves, internally, as if oneself (ego conscious level: 5) had participated in The Plan, or could align themselves with Its Author by Believing in God. It is bt means of this internal processing link that “creationism” waits in the wings to pounce on “evolution”, as a backward, materialistic way of think about mankind’s origins (completion of third totality in sign-use; that for the external world; see below). And as soon as there us (shudder) “creationism”, there is….God. Says so in the Bible. The Book of our beginnings, as American people, if not as a very species. How many people in America Believe In the Bible as the inspired word of God ? – or swear they do? Lots and lots. INSERTING the phrase ‘intelligent design’ into the streams of public discourse and education (public TokenSpace) poisons its processes.



*****/ Elaboration

Whenever mention is made of “the absolute” (unsurpassable, completed) the tautological opposite prompted into position is: “The non-absolute”, or “relative”. The absolute, or absoluteness, is that which is limited by nothing other than itself, hence not comparable to that which is limited by other things. This includes all individual bodies, situated at any point in space, intersecting three dimensional lines that extend indefinitely in a simultaneous order, with time represented by their movement (processes proceding in a given direction).

The absolute ideological of dreams is the word “dream” itself. Use of the word cathects the neuro-circutry nexus that provides the morphic field background of the actual ‘sleep’- state contents. These can be recalled as such – altered state products: “I saw saw as in a dream” – with or without specificity of qualitative detail or content. But the word by means of which this is done, and predicated upon in ‘telling dreams’, takes that morphic field, as a whole, up to the next grammatical level, where it is characterized a body state. Thus “the dream” comes to refer to a quantitatively determined energy state, when described in terms from outside the body; while also understood to be referring to the inside, quasi-qualitative phenomena.

The absolute ideological of phenomena, as totality of qualitative and quasi-qualitative content of private TokenSpace (following Descartes, Hume, Kant, Russell, Freud) is perception of the physical object (world). Perception of the external world, involving use of phenomena as three-dimensional object-tokens, is a process that is not completed in consciousness through sign-use, but is completed (when veridical) by what exists outside consciousness relating causally to the body as stimuli.

The absolute ideological of physical objects is “the universe” as completed three-dimensional cosmos. As the (ideally) completed universe containing all ratio/scales of space to time, this “It” – the physical world laid out in space – is also the moral universe. If time is the totality of wave forces passing through it, as a totality, then there is metaphysical room for freedom through processes that change “is” of the past to “out to be” of the future.

The absolute ideological of the moral universe is the psychological totality of personal human development completed in the fourth dimension. This is the person “coming into manifestation”, as the result of completing the initial initiatory stage of a becoming process. The actualization of completed totalities in common cosmic morphic field at a given time (stage in the development of earth) defines the social style of their age and locale. All predications on objects in the moral universe (acts of gods and men) belong to public, not just private TokenSpace. True judgments express forms in the common conscience/consciousness

The absolute ideological of the social world is the completed totality of consciousness under Sign-use in general, or culture. This begins with signs for numbers, places, duration, people; passing into names of personality types, calendars, continents and numerologics. The concept of One Philosophical System, encompassing a single unified field theory of all individuals, predicates and relations.

The absolute ideological of the One Philosophical System (S*) is whatever completes it, even as it includes it, as a totality. Since this is the textual function ordinarily associated with use of “God”, the absolute absolute ideological in the system S* can be called “God”. This names the Form of Forms of TokenSpace, public and private.

The theory of absolute ideologicals holds more than merely formal interest for group-process trackers. That is because of their ‘political potency’. This comes from the re-directing – splitting – of energies when an absolute ideological is introduced under its own aegis – a preacher morphing into God Himself, say, like Jimmy Jones, and ordering the faithful to die. Or a poor obsessed demented soul claiming to be Hitler, Mousselini, or somebody reincarnate, seizing the day for their Man.
