What is Dialogism? by Per Linell
Tag: complexity

recent posts and discussions with brilliant co-bloggers (e.g. multi-sense realism,Β Anacephalaeosis, unwanted advice, tocksinΒ and others) have reminded me how woven, interactive and co-constructed we are with our environment… which sounds something like this (the awareness and attention and presence of it) to me:
Found Object/Subject: Self-Portrait
Inundated in end-of-semester bewilderment and projects….I riffle through book stacks and this catches my eye again…
and I quickly recognize myself in the mirror:
Self-Portrait of Mind – July 2013
The big TOE
I have been fascinated by and greatly enjoying the discussions and promulgations of some very astute bloggers considerations of the possibilities of and potential candidates for a “Theory of Everything.” Β See, for prime examples, the tremendous thought-work of MultiSense RealismΒ and Anacephalaeosis. Β Hoping to further conversation, I humbly post a couple of intriguing considerations of TOEs by two others of my thinking-hero-eschelon… and hope for responses from those above-mentioned and anyone else with thoughts on the matter (or process, as it may be)…!

The best that I can do on this trip is to share some of the inputs coming my way… aside from the gorgeous lush thick greens of Oregon and Washington, there are also these gorgeous, lush, thick growths…

ββ¦like a kaleidoscope which is every now and then given a turn, society arranges successively in different orders elements which one would have supposed to be immovable, and composes a fresh pattern.β
–Marcel Proust, Within a Budding Grove–
Boy meets girl.Β Man, Woman.Β Husband, Wife.Β Father, Mother.Β Produces the child, a child, children.
Pieces shake out of joint.
Father.Β Husband.Β Man. Β Girl.Β Woman.Β Boy.Β Produces the child, a child, children.
Arranges different order.
Husband meets girl.Β Man, Woman.Β Husband, Wife.Β Mother, Father.Β Mother.Β Produces the child, a child, children.
Jumble and collide, slide over.
Girl meets boy.Β Man.Β Husband.Β Father.Β Woman.Β Husband.Β Wife.Β Mother.Β Mother.Β Child, child, children.Β Produces none.Β Adds three.
Kaleidoscopes fresh patterns.
Husband, Wife. Β Men.Β Women.Β Father.Β Father. Β Mother. Mother. Mother.Β Child. Child. Child. Child. Child. Child. Child. (Children).
Many is the new unit.Β Same β the new variety.Β Names β the faulty designators.
Fall the doctrines of origin and cause.Β The sense belong.Β The myths of ontology.Β Infinite regress.Β Unlimited semiotics.
Turn the scope, altering view β collage is the new entire.Β Copy β the new original.Β Fragment β the new whole.
Child. Child. Child. and Child. Child. Child. Child. βbelongingβ now to Father-Mother. Father. Mother-Mother. Mother-Father.
Fresh pattern.
By steps and halves and partnerships; alliances and circumstance and blood.
Arithmetic of variables multiplied by chance and power.
Now Mo3 + M3 = 2 + 2 + 3.5 or F3 + W3 = 2(-1/2) + 2(-1/2) + 3-1 where Mo=mother (Mo1, Mo2, Mo3, Mo4), M = man (F=father, W=wife, H=husband, and so forth-1 once removed).
The scraggly male through one variable and nonsymmetrical equation would be F2×2(+3/.5)H3M? for W3/C2+C2+1/2C3 or Father of C=biological children 4 times via 2 sets with 3 additional Β½-children by marriage to W3 (third wife) which man or woman they are for one another is an n = unknown variable.
A physicist might be able to map this new arrangement, fresh patterning of conventionality: the family by strands of blood and webbed relations multiplying, bending and stretching (read: re-signifying) concept terms and nouns of relation such as brother, sister, mother, father, spouse &/or partner.
All in variable contexts.Β Involves Theory of Complexity.Β Without mastery or solutions.Β No absolutes.Β Arbitrary forms actively adapting.Β No truths.Β A world of half-breeds and bastards.Β Infinite regress.Β Anomaly.
