Postscript : Chaos, Complexity, and Metaphysics (continued)

The analysis, which follows, is an examination of individuality/the strange attractor and its relationship to the whole as well as the whole to individuality/the strange attractor.. We will not be discussing ‘Being’s’/the whole’s/summation’s significance to ‘Being’/the whole/summation. In essence we will be examining the internal dynamics of metaphysical systems rather than the external dynamics of such systems.

We begin by establishing three potential components for a metaphysical system. Having done that we will examine a few potential systems that could emerge from these three components.

Regarding Metaphysical Systems
Applying metaphysical system model building to science and mathematics is the process of moving forward with what theoretical metaphysics establishes.

Theoretical metaphysics brings to the building site of model construction, the materials with which the metaphysical engineer begins the construction of the model itself.

As such, let us examine the building materials which theoretical metaphysics has put before us. Once we have taken this step, let’s examine some of the potential models of reality metaphysical engineering could construct from the components of strange attractors, complexity, and chaos.

Since a relatively large number of models will be presented, we will examine only four in detail. We will then take the final model and put it into non-technical language, generalizations.

Preliminary
As a preliminary, we will examine visuals of a few metaphysical systems, which could emerge from three basic components: individuality/strange attractors, action/chaos, and summation/complexity

We will represent the three through linguistic symbolization and definition as follows:

Linguistic Symbolization: Definitions:


It must be said at this point that there appears to be four metaphysical components not three metaphysical components as previously suggested. The fourth component is the initial point/base assumption from which this discourse originates. The base assumption, the original premise, the initial point from which this discourse originates is:

One or more of the first three metaphysical components do in fact exist. Metaphysical component #4, existence, exists. Existence is ‘the’ premise of this discourse. At a minimum, without the existence of, at the very least, passive existence, discussion of any topic becomes a mute activity.

What is the strange attractor? Within The metaphysical model being suggested there are two forms of strange attractors we presently comprehend.

Type 1: Strange attractors lacking knowing of abstraction

Type 2: Strange attractors knowing abstraction

Type 1 strange attractors known to us and the patterns they establish are confined within a space/time/matter/energy universal fabric. Such a fabric is found within our physical universe

Type 2 strange attractors known to us, strange attractors of knowing, emerge fully patterned from the confines of physical reality, become confined within the ‘greater’ boundaries of the abstract.

Both the Type 1, non-knowing/deterministic, strange attractors and the Type 2 , knowing, strange attractors find an interesting analogy to the nucleus around which a snowflake or a raindrop form.

Type 2 strange attractors are the type of strange attractor to which we can best relate. We are intuitively most familiar with Type 2 strange attractors and the patterns they establish, originate, within a region of chaos, the physical universe, because each individual human/knowing entity originates from a strange attractor of knowing. In addition we are capable of knowing complexity patterns whose strange attractors may or may not be composed of knowing because we find our knowing to be centered within complexity pattern of physicality called a human body and human brain.

We do not ‘know’ what the strange attractor of non-knowing is even though we are within such a region. It is because we are a strange attractor of knowing that we do not ‘know’ the strange attractor of non-knowing. Will we ever be capable of knowing a non-knowing strange attractor? Perhaps after all our strange attractor based upon knowing builds its pattern using the non-knowing, the physical, as its source of chaos material from which we build our abstractual patterns of complexity.

It is the abstractual world of chaos and complexity with which this work, The War and Peace of a New Metaphysical Perception, dealt. Such a world is philosophically labeled as metaphysics. The abstractual world is a world within which the physical is located and in turn it is the physical within which the abstract is created. Metaphysically the model is labeled the being of ‘being’ being ‘Being’. Graphically the model appears as:


The region of passive complexity is considered passive not because it has no dynamic consciousness rather it is considered passive because no new abstractual knowing is created within the region void the universe/universes/devices capable of generating ‘new perception’. The region of passive abstractual complexity would in essence be the epitome of Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence if it were not for regions of chaos within which original complexity could emerge.

A more complex version of the model demonstrating the dynamics of the system itself becomes:


The understanding as to how there can be a region of chaos existing within a region of no chaos while not existing within the region of chaos is fully addressed within Volume I, Tractates 6 and Volume II, Tractate 10 of this work.

Within such a model, complexity becomes dependent upon chaos for its avoidance of eternal recurrence and chaos becomes dependent upon complexity for it emergence from nothingness through the principle of symmetry.. The full dialectic of such a process is discussed within Volume II, Tractate 10: The Error of Heidegger.

Since this is a dialectic of metaphysics much of the work is left in a linguistic metaphysical format but the initiation for the discussion of the interrelationship of chaos and complexity are begun with the introduction of terms such as: strange attractor, chaos, complexity, passive complexity, active complexity, edge of chaos, edge of complicity, etc within Part I: Metaphysical Systems – Potential Models..

In addition, this dialectic deals specifically with strange attractors of knowing with free will/choice as opposed to non-knowing strange attractors governed by laws and principles and strange attractors of knowing governed by determinism. The understanding regarding the interrelationships and function of the three types of strange attractors is essential to understanding both the interrelationships and the roles of chaos and complexity one to the other. The interrelationship and function of strange attractors with free will within regions of chaos and complexity is of primary concern to ‘higher order life forms’, ourselves included, since, philosophically speaking, such an understanding addresses the three fundamental philosophical questions:

Where are we?
What are we?
Why do we exist?

The issue regarding the validity of the concept of free will is not what is addressed within this discourse. The issue regarding the validity of free will is examined in great detail throughout the work: The War and Peace of a New Metaphysical Perception, and in particular within Volume I, Tractate 3: The Error of Boethius
