Dear 'real.democracy',
Here's a try at such a translation --
I sympathize with your difficulty with this material.
I wish I was a better expositor of it, but I can only hope that my skills in
communicating this material will grow with time, and with practice, because I
think this material is very important.
This material is important, I think, because it "models" -- in the sense of
"exemplifies" -- dialectical thinking, potentially rendering dialectical
thinking more "teach-able".
And, unless the skill of dialectical thinking spreads rapidly throughout
humanity soon, I think that we will lack the capability to make the
revolutionary transition out of capitalism, before capitalism [which = we
ourselves acting as capital] kills us.
One of the recent posts for the F.E.D. source of this material, located at --
http://www.adventures-in-dialectics.org/Adventures-In-Dialectics/MetaMonadology/\
MetaMonadology-entry.htm
-- reads as follows --
"What this text addresses, in toto, is the '''psycho-historical''', cognitive
revolution that F.E.D. is offering. It's deeper title, then, should be:
Announcing a Cognitive Revolution, Necessary Precursor to Humankind's
Self-Liberatory Self-Transformation Beyond the Capital-Relation as Predominant
Social Relation of Re-Production of Modern Society
As I state at the outset of Part II of this text:
"I believe that experience with compact, explicit dialectical models; with
the 'algorithmic dialectics' and the 'dialectical algorithmics' of, e.g., the
N\Q categorial ideography, can help to catalyze, in the 'experiencer', a
cognitive revolution. It can help to catapult that experiencer [deeper] into
'''the dialectical operations stage of adult human cognitive development'''.
That, at least, has been my experience.
I also hold that such a revolution in cognition, diffusing in widening
waves, rippling throughout the global populace, is prerequisite to a successful,
liberatory transition to the higher polity — to the political-economic democracy
— of 'democratic-communist' society".
I.e., to the 'externality-equities based economic democracy that F.E.D.
advocates [for more on this, see http://www.equitism.org].".
I ditto that assessment.
This material has had an enormous impact on my thinking, and on my very being.
It has catapulted me into awareness, and possible solution, of some of the
deepest mysteries about our species -- about our past, and about our implicated
future.
Now, I understand the vital difference between what the ancient Greeks meant by
<<arithmos>>, which, we today, translate simply as "number", and the
vastly-reduced meaning that we, today, under the alienating psycho-historical
influence of our praxis of "[the law of ]value", mean by "number".
I understand much of what Plato must have meant by his <<arithmoi Eide-tikoi>>,
his "assemblages of <<Eide>>/<<Ideas>>", the core of the Platonic dialectic, and
why they were <<a-sum-bletoi>> -- "un-add-able" --, and why so different from
his <<arithmoi monad-ikoi>>, much like our "Natural Numbers", 1, 2, 3, ..., and
from the <<arithmoi aisthetoi>>, the assemblages of sensuous object[-unit]s.
I understand much of why, at the heart, even, of formal mathematical logic --
much to the chagrin of the capitalist anti-dialectical logicians -- you can't
define the basic postulates for the Natural Numbers, as "UNQUALIFIED ONTOLOGICAL
QUANTIFIERS" without those postulates inescapably also applying to an exact
opposite system of arithmetic, that of the "UNQUANTIFIABLE ONTOLOGICAL
QUALIFIERS" that encode a dialectical logic, a PURELY QUALITATIVE system of
'''numbers''', or "ordinalities", within which quantity has no meaning, in the
sense that it is not expressible.
I also understand much of why Boolean Algebra, and its undergirding "Boolean
Arithmetic", which also model formal logic, have THIS SAME arithmetic of
UNQUANTIFIABLE ONTOLOGICAL QUALIFIERS, as their intra-dual, created by
profoundly negating the postulate of Boolean Algebra which Boole named "The
Fundamental Law of Thought", but which is, in fact, only "The Fundamental
Limitation of UN-Dialectical Thought".
Like any arithmetic, this dialectical arithmetic is, in a way, very simple.
If we use the signs "X ---> Y" to stand for "X becomes Y", then this arithmetic
models essentially the following "self-reflexive" ["squared"] process --
first thesis ---> first thesis squared =
first thesis + first anti-thesis --->
[first thesis + first anti-thesis] squared =
first thesis + first anti-thesis + first syn-thesis
+ second anti-thesis ---> . . ..
Thus, for the example that we have already been discussing, the above pattern
particularizes to --
Quantifier Arithmetic ---> Quantifier Arithmetic squared =
Quantifier Arithmetic + Qualifier Arithmetic --->
[Quantifer Arithmetic + Qualifier Arithmetic] squared =
[Ontological] Quantifer Arithmetic +
[Ontological] Qualifier Arithmetic +
[Ontological] Qualo-Quantifier Arithmetic
+ Metrical Qualifier Arithmetic. . . .
And, I now understand how to see the whole, self-constructing <<kosmos>> hidden
in the brief, 14-symbol, self-reflexive formula --
C(t) = <q|n>^2(^t)
-- wherein q|n stands for the earliest <<arithmos>>, or cosmological
"population", of pre-atomic / pre-sub-atomic <<monads>>, or "units", or
"[onto-]logical individuals" that has been identified by physics, plus anything
else unknown to present science -- the earliest-known [sentential]
"SUBJECT-ivities", or AGENTS-of-action, and also the earliest-known [sentential]
"OBJECT-ivities", or recipients-of[[THEIR- OWN]-action.
I also remember that there was a time when the "Hindu-Arabic numerals" -- our
"simple" 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . -- were a mystery to most of humankind.
Today, we spout them off with seeming effortlessness, and even those who can't
read can count with them. ...

Miguel

formula (^1)<q|n>(2^tau).
