. . . then, if we are not able to hunt the Good with
one idea only, with three we may catch our prey: Beauty, Symmetry, Truth are the three.... --Plato, Philebus |

542.01
This triadic concept is exclusively planar__ergo, nonexistent.
What is
inadvertently omitted is the observer of the planar
triad, whose observer position marks
the fourth corner of the tetrahedron, the minimum system.

542.02
The observer-plus-the-observed, Beauty, Symmetry,
and Truth are the four
unique system-defining characteristics. It is possible
that Plato might have approved a
systematic reordering of his statement to read: The
observer (as a truth) observing three
other truths constitutes a system whose macro-micro-Universe-differentiating
capability
displays inherent symmetry and beauty__symmetry of four
vertexes subtending four faces
and symmetry of any two opposite pairs of its six edges
precessionally subtending one
another, together with the beauty of accomplishing such
symmetry and Universe-
differentiating with the minimum of structural system
interrelationships.
(See Fig. 542.02.)
|
|
|
542.03
The qualitative interrelationships of this beautiful
and symmetrical system are
expressed in the generalized formula
42 = 16, 16 - 4 = 12, 12/2 = 6.
Six is the set of the uniquely symmetrical interrelationships
of the minimum system.
|
|
|
542.04
Beauty and symmetry are inherent and make superficially
"good" the three
additional interrelationships: thankfulness, maximum
economy, and wisdom. They also
make "good" all the remaining cases on balance__the 32
cases (Sec. 1044)
of all the
simplest cosmically conceptual and structurally realizable
systems of Universe.
|
|
|
542.05
Is there a qualitative systems attribute? Can special
case system events and
characteristics be appraised qualitatively? My answer
is that you and I are always off-
center. All special case realizations of generalized
principles are always aberrated
realizations. Since there is no simultaneity, there
is always realization lag. Consciousness is
aberration. But the lags are always accompanied by experientially
evolved inventions of
more efficient operational means of decreasing the magnitude
of tolerated errors__i.e.,
off-center aberrations.
|
|
|
542.06
Evolutingly we always acquire the means to come closer
to the truth, but in
all special-case temporality and its asymmetric resonance
we can never reach statically
concentric congruence with truth.
|
|
|
542.07
Quality describes the relative proximity__concentrically
attained__of
absolute congruence with convergently directioned, dimensionless
truth.

Reality and Inexactitude
|
|
543.01
Reality is the special case, episodic, high-frequency
recall of like experiences
within our individual scenario lives. Reality is nothing
but highfrequency recurrence of the
awareness of a dominant generalized principle remanifesting
itself in our special case
awareness sequences.
|
|
|
543.02
The cognitive is self-startered by mind's outer-rampart-guardian
intuition
and by mind's aesthetic delicacy of tolerance of pro
tem imperfection. The intellect
differentiates the reactions and discernments of our
sense apprehending. The intellect-
invented differentiations become operative when the
high frequency of unrecognized
events accelerates in pure principle to thicken up as
do storm clouds: "Something's about
to happen.... Now it's happening. "
|
|
|
543.03
What you and I call matter are the high-frequency
recurrences of
interprinciple, interangular-action accommodations .
. . the deflectings . . . the thickenings
. . . sometimes intensifying to hurt or bang!
|
|
|
543.04
The cyclic timing of our only-apparently continuous
sight__as
photoframes__differs greatly from the cyclic timing of
our other senses, each of which has
its separate harmonic ranges and velocities
(Sec. 801.09).
|
|
|
543.05
The apprehending of reality is a mind function. Reality
= inexactitude.
|
|
|
543.10
Local and Cosmic Exactitude
|
|
|
543.11
Metaphysical principles are absolutely exact, absolutely
inelastic, and
absolutely intolerant of error: these are the generalized
principles. Despite elegant
mathematical expression, they may never be exactly defined
by their human mind
discoverers.
(At Sec. 986.702
we see Einstein's once
seemingly perfect equation E =Mc2
having to be improved to read E = 2V2 , as vectorial
expression of the T Module and E
Module relationships__the vectors being a more economical
expression of the product of
mass and velocity.)
|
|
|
543.12
But there exists a plurality of such non-positionally-realized
but eternally
coexistent generalized principles whose integrated relative
degree of relevance to any one
episode or event of the individual's experience scenario
is inherently inexact. These
inexact events are always special case effects of the
momentary integration of a plurality of
generalized principles.
|
|
|
543.13
The wave-frequency characteristics of energy (either
seemingly
disassociative as radiation or seemingly associative
as matter) are propagated by the
elasticity of the mind's tolerance of the inexactitude-shrouded
but nonetheless-recognized
generalized principle. In complex social phenomena,
we speak of this tolerance as love,
which spontaneously forgives, allows, or tolerates outright
macro-error or micro-deviation
from exquisite exactitude.
|
|
|
543.14
The realities of you and I are typical special cases
of the infinity of
inexactitudes of the individual cognition lags and re-cognitions
of the generalized integral
of all generalized principles__love.
|
|
|
543.15
It was only the recall of the total of all the love
that I had known in my
childhood that turned around my determination in 1927
to throw myself away and instead
to employ the throwaway-self toward repaying all lives
for my unforgettable experiencings
of the infinite tolerance of love as it had embraced
and permeated (both) my infant,
childhood, and juvenile years. My commitment to this
repayment in turn led to the
discovery of the cumulative total of loving understanding
of all humanity in all time as ever
regenerated in parents and grandparents for all its
children and by the ever regenerative
tolerance of children for parents.

Gravity and Love
|
|
|
543.21
The scientific word for the integral of all the special
case realizations of
gravity is love.
|
|
|
543.22
Love is the integral of gravity and radiation. Energy
as either radiation or
matter is the summa frequency, local-in-Universe, aberrational
palpitation of
comprehensive gravity embracement. Energy manifests
itself as the palpitating, gravity-
tolerated, aberrational pulsings-through of the plurality
of exact centers of pure principles.
This plurality of principles, being inherently different
one from the other, have ever-
varying interdomain proximities that produce varying
push-pulls of the plurality of
generalized principles influencing the locally-tuned-in
event, which proximity variations
depend on which set of principles are most informationally
relevant in comprehending both
the local and cosmic significance of any given local
experience event.
|
|
|
543.23
All the foregoing abets our comprehension of the truth
toward which all
experience leads__to the truth that the physical is only
a misapprehension of the
metaphysical and that the reality is absolutely truthful
love.
|
|
|
543.24
There is only the metaphysical. The physical can never
be only- because it is
only partially experienceable and think-aboutable.
|
|
|
543.25
It is the love-gravity toleration of high-frequency-recurrent
aberrations from
any one absolute principle's exact center, along with
the varying yielding toward other
centers, that permits those from-time-to-time, love-intellect-mind-intuited
discoveries of
the mathematical variation rates of interrelationship
changes evolutionarily existing
between the nondimensional plurality of pure principles.
This infinitely regenerated and
loving comprehension breeds realizations of the infinitude
of intercombining the plurality
of principles, which infinitude of realizations and
complex interrelationships of variable-
relevance tolerance effects altogether constitute both
the over-all theme and the separate,
unique, individual experience episodes of any one life
at any one time.

and 1005.20.)
