<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We see a system of thoughts which agrees to idealisations,
simplifications, schematisations, unification. This system of relations of
concepts is opposed to, actually included in, a confusing multitude of experiences,
which is less clear-cut, more complex, mostly opaque, partly and partially
understood, but lacking a cohesive explanatory framework. We suspect that
information is in that range which is presently outside the known,
well-expressible, coherent, logical idealised mental image which we call Logic,
Ideas, Formal Systems, which are clearly expressible and belong to our set of
things known. Outside of this is something built up of actually existing, real,
observable and generally well-measured surroundings, which is the presently incomprehensible
part of the world for us.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The working hypothesis is that we can extend the boundaries
of what is summed up under “Logic”, which leaves less in the remainder. If the
world is all that we can understand and do understand and that which we do not
or can not understand, there is a room for advancement in the field that we can
understand but do not, as yet, understand.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">3) Epistemology<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">That, what we understand has been systematised in a
conclusive manner by Wittgenstein and his descendants (Boole, von Neumann,
Shannon, etc.). The Master had written about the grammar of clearly expressed
true sentences. This brought him immense enmity from his colleagues,
co-philosophers. Adorno summarised the rejection by pointing out that it is by
no means the job of a philosopher to spend time with sentences that are well
understood, clearly expressed and true. Rather, he should work on the barriers,
obstacles and borders which separate that what we understand from the
interesting; he should try to make the hardly or only partially understood
become better comprehensible. Wittgenstein has admitted the truth of the
argument and ceased to call his most important work a piece of real philosophy.
(Like Juan Gris, Picasso and Braque admitting that they created no real paintings.)<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">If one excludes religious, mythical or esoteric kinds of
thoughts, there is no escaping the fact that the unknown can only be approached
from the inside of the bubble in which we live our rational, logical,
communicable lives. The tools of our thinking are with us inside the yellow
submarine in which we conduct lengthy discussions about what is outside.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We have to stay in the realm of sentences that are
descendants of <i>a=a.</i> The knowledge, that there exists a basic equivalence
which allows us to conclude that two separate mental contents are in some
measures equivalent, in the degree of the measure: identical, this instinctive,
inborn archaic axiom has to remain the basis of all rational thought systems. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We have, however, found some small print loophole-escape in
the long-long discourses about the consequences of <i>a=a.</i> This may appear
to be pure chuzpe, cheeky, pesky and impertinent, but we state that we have
never found in the contract stated that <i>pos(a) = pos(a). </i>This is a
hitherto neglected sub-chapter of the General Song About <i>a=a</i> and we
intend to present an invitation to the right honourable learned friends to see
what appears naturally if one does a walk along the path of <i>pos(a) { =, </i><i><span>≠</span> } pos(a).<span></span></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">4) How we approach the unknown<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The tool we use is the next step in the succession kaleidoscope
– Rubik’s cube<span> </span>: <span> </span>tautomat. These toys investigate movement
patterns and the results of movement patterns. The tautomat leaves aside the
random component of the kaleidoscope and leaves aside the numeric restrictions
of the cube, and can be understood to be a succession of <i>n </i>urns in which
<i>n </i>balls are placed, where each ball is painted half by 1 of <i>d </i>colours,
with the other half being painted also with 1 of the same <i>d</i> colours. There
are many ways to line up the bi-coloured balls. If one is undecided, which is
the right way for the balls to be lined up, one turns the reordering knob and a
resorting takes place which is the spectacle to watch. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The task is to observe, which successions change in what way
into a different succession. In order to enjoy the tautomat, the user has to
unlearn some cultural conventions. The <i>a </i>we use in this <i>pos(a) { =, </i><i><span>≠</span> } pos(a) </i>spectacle
is not just any <i>a</i> as implicitly understood in the General Agreement on <i>a=a.
</i>Here, each of the <i>a</i> is, by its being bi-coloured, an individual,
while being also one of a group of those which share one of its colours. In the
normal world, it makes no sense watching reordering of elements, because all
elements have been traditionally held as being indistinguishable, of no
specific property as such. The subject of sequencing of objects is a terrain of
cultural negligence in the field of formal sciences, while social, political,
economic and biological life runs almost exclusively on the logic of
preferences and sequencing. Having as <i>a </i>such objects that are
distinguishable, therefore sortable and in their collective, orderable, as
their birthright, a priori, creates endless opportunities of watching them fight
for priority and get along with each other. There are strong hints from
neurology and psychology that mental processes are an interaction between
position-based and quantity-based algorithms. The quantitative side of <i>a=a </i>is
an old bone chewed clean. The new approach <i>pos(a) { =, </i><i><span>≠</span> } pos(a), </i>together
with the idea of using distinguishable <i>a </i>can give an energic jolt to the
concepts among professionals on basic relations between matter and place.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">5) What we find<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The numbers speak for themselves. The rigid logic of the
numbers educates one on which of his ideas are reasonable and which are a
phantasy. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The patterns of the kaleidoscope use of the tautomat show
two rectangular spaces to exist concurrently, transcended by two planes. Of
these, one common space can be constructed which in our experience of reality
actually exists, although the numbers foretell many and varied conflicts in
this common space. A remarkable feature of this common space is an axis that
appears to picture the phenomenon known as gravity.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">There are aspects of the numbers’ tale which show
coexistence and regulated succession which is translatable to effects in space.
The most usable transformational reorderings picture a logical statement to
consist of three logical places – these are in a strict succession – and on
each of the three places the possibility of 1 of 4 logical markers which
influence materially the properties of more-dimensional spaces. This
arrangement appears to agree to the basic syntax used by Nature in the
transmission of genetic information.<span></span></p>
