[ Dialectics, Complexity & the Processual ]

"Hegel’s dialectics is not a theory of the excluded middle but rather a theory of operations. In a dialectical process, A and non- A are two instances co-existing at certain moments.

What is at stake, however, is not ambiguity but complexity; that is to say, reality embodies a complexity that cannot be reduced to numerical positivism or simple logicism based on the principle of contradiction." Yuk Hui.

[ Meta-Duality: no Ontology without Epistemology, no Epistemology without Ontology ]

My enacted "middle-way²"/scybernethics bidimenTional (quasi-bidimensional) view: there is no "form" ontology without epistemology.

Being and knowing are two faces of the same coin

1/ Image
but also needs to be clearly collectively distinguished, as the synthesis is for me personal and embodied, complex, ineffable, in no way normative.

2/
Ontology (recursivity, being, awareness)
<-co-determination->
Epistemology (interaction, knowing, con-science)

= epistemo-ontology or onto-epistemology.

Both² are necessary for a viable future. This is "crucial" (cf. crux).

[ Key Distinction: Appearance//Illusion ]

"To mistake appearance for illusion is to undercut the very grounds on which intelligibility rests."

A very important distinction² that binary "realist" & techno-transjective polarizations (true/false, 1/0) tends to confuse by

1/
flattening (mono-dimensionality) BOTH the environment (objectivist 3PP polarity)/Umwelt (subjectivist 1PP) AND the action/sensation-perception, which are key co-determining distinctions for meaning-making & intelligibility in a complex world.

2/ Image
The actual convergence between naive (non-phenomenological) realism & transjective (confusion object/subject) technologies is, in its excess, a collective poison leading socially to a loss of embodied know-how (proletarianization, cognitive today with digital psycho-techs)

[ What is Science: 1. Origin: Collectively Enacting a First-order Perspective ]

Here's an initial objectivist first-order* description of the nature & constitution of modern scientific inquiry from an enactive point of view:

* 3P-only description without the observer-actor

1/3 Image
It could be complemented, to have a better grasping about the form/process complex dialectics, with the famous Varela"s paper "Not one, not two": the "it" (form) and the process leading to "it".

A new discussion on the subject (not seen yet):


2/3
I will follow this initial intro with a more scybernethic and second-order style of representation that will help to give more meaning, I hope, to second-order logic², to the importance of the initial suspension of judgment and more generally to second-order rationality².

[ Logic²: from Morin's Complex Thinking to Ancient Catuṣkoṭi Logic ] 🧵🪡

I'm happy because yesterday I have finally academically sourced (G. Priest) my second order logic, or exploration heuristic and hermeneutic logic, the other complementary, Image
implicit and hidden face of classical normative and propositional logic (Aristotle, Russell, Frege, etc). Image
Both define what I call a bidimenTional formal space: one linear classical Cartesian representational dimension coupled orthogonally with a recursive self-referencial imaginary/complex (math. sense), "fractal" one. Image

[ "Metaphysics": Formal Worldview vs Processual Method ] 🧵

I don't like the old term "metaphysics" because of its lack of analytical discrimination: do we speak politely about the subjective preconceptions of a view (so critically about its hidden & implicit political agenda), Image
or about its transcendental (Kant) a priori conditions of possibility?

Moreover, even if physics has historical precedence as a prototype of the objective study of the world-out-there, i.e. of a materialist so-called "realist" formal view,
science is today much broader, even if restricted to the sciences of nature (not so "natural"...), and physics much more fluffy.

[ Scybernethics & Neurophenomenology ] 🧵🪡

Both shares the same influences (enaction) and objectives: to exceed the mind-mind problem (extension of the traditional mind-body problem, Jackendoff), i.e. relating computational & phenomenological aspects of the mind. Image
While neurophenomenology is polarized on the traditional first order of science, coupling the rational dimension with experimental empiricism, scybernethics is more philosophically polarized and aimed at the active transformation of the observer-actor himself.
In short, neurophenomenology is more normative while scybernethics is more heuristic and hermeneutical. Two faces of enactive science.
