One is known to be discussing the Beard of the Emperor in such a setup.</div><div dir="auto">2 The parts of the whole are known to be different among each other</div><div dir="auto">Our forefathers have agreed that the parts of the unknown (of the Beard) are not of a uniform make. This insight has not been recognized by their contemporaries in its revolutionary change of paradigm. </div><div dir="auto">3 Different units, used together with other different units to create different versions of the whole </div><div dir="auto">Till our days, those who pretend to be interested in Nature, Science, Logic and Information Theory often fail to recognize that they play with their own vanity, but not with the basic questions of what are the rules that determine how parts of a whole get organized into a whole. </div><div dir="auto">One can easily distinguish between the two kinds of people who are in the science agora. The vanity people will look at you and if they keep silent, that is the better variant. </div><div dir="auto">The research people will pick up the consequences of the parts of the whole being different and say that if the parts are different, then any two of the parts will generate one version of a whole, namely that simple version of the whole which is consisting of the two parts which we call for simplicity’s sake a, b. </div><div dir="auto">4 Vanity distracts by irrelevant details </div><div dir="auto">Simple people are easy to distract by simple surprises. We say that a simple version of the whole is made up of two parts, like c : (a, b). Now it can happen that either a looks much like b, or b looks much like a. In this case the whole c will look like c : (a, a), or c : (b, b). The two parts remain different, even if they appear to our senses to be extremely alike. </div><div dir="auto">Having been positively reinforced at school for recognizing similarities, people tend to build a world view that relies on what is a social success, and not on what is a correct picture of the world. </div><div dir="auto">So, people are led to believe that c : (2a) is a constituent principle and not a special case. Of this, they deduct that d : (i * a) is the basic form of the assembly. Lo and behold, the axiomatic idea that the parts of the whole are, but for a few apparent exceptions, different, has been replaced by the neurologically and culturally seductive conviction, that the parts of the whole are similar. </div><div dir="auto">5 Similar units can make no variants</div><div dir="auto">One’s job as a shrink teaches one about dangers coming from living in an oversimplified world. The customer has built up a world which is fine, nice, ideal but just happens not to be picturing reality. The customer keeps lamenting that the world is mysterious, puzzling, un-comprehended and so forth. He himself has built a world view which is too much ideal. Relative to the ideal, which exists only in his head, the actual world is a bit more complicated. In order to get along with the real world, customer would need to discount the pleasures coming from the ideal version of the world which he had been building up since a long time. </div><div dir="auto">6 What a charming infant, with so many needs</div><div dir="auto">Social security admin pays one to sit with the customer and listen to his troubles. It is axiomatic that the customer is the one who has interesting, fascinating, extraordinary, nonpareil properties and one is just a boring, nondescript average guy with nothing of interest to contribute to the interaction. It is not done to tell the customer that he created untenable expectations himself, by having built up a nonrealistic set of background relations. Had he not insisted that his wife has to be fascinated by him, he could take it with a relaxed attitude that she sees nothing more in him than a normal, regular guy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">An
extraordinary task requires extraordinary rhetorical tools. The task of this
treatise is to offer an explanation for the meaning of the term ‘information’. Because
the explicandum is not well known, (actually, not known at all), the rhetorical
task comes in the category well established in Rhetoric, the category where one
discusses the Beard of the Emperor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">In Part I.
we have shown that the discussion about information follows indeed the same
patterns as the discussion about that Beard. In both cases, we have places and
occurrences that come into reality, or not, on those places. The constituents
of the whole are interrelated among each other with observable results, without
our knowing, <i>how the parts are organized
into a whole. </i>What we look for, is a <i>Principle
</i>that governs, on which places which types of occurrences can come into
existence. In the classical version, it is follicles on a face that can and may
contain hair, without our knowing, why there and why this kind of hair. In the
case with information, we see – in the example of genetics – that positional
change of simple logical tokens gives rise to attachment of specific kinds of
material (protein molecules) on specific places. The Unknown relates to the
Whole: we know each of the parts, what we do not understand is how, by which
Principle they organize into a whole. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">In the
present Part, we shall undertake to show that a web of relations exists among
parts, which are each known. We discuss on diverse levels the same hypothesis: <b>that
a-priori logical relations do exist in Nature. </b>This statement is equivalent to saying, that the Beard is such as it is,
because <b>Divine preexistence of destiny </b>gives forms to results of some <b>Generating
Principles. </b>(In the historic example, we would be saying, that there is a preordained
Quality to Emperors which causes that their beard grows in an imperial
fashion.) The approach that externalizes reasons and sense outside of one’s own
individuality can be a rational method, or it can refer to external forces at
work, the comprehension of which is beyond our intellectual capabilities (<i>Aquinas: Summa Theologiae, What the
Intellect Can Recognize, </i>[5]). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">The rational approach rejects the idea of the Supranatural. By rejecting
the idea that an outside force knits, knots, and weaves parts of a whole into a
whole according to its own pleasure, one should take care not to also reject
the idea that there may be a rational reason for parts being knitted, knotted
and woven together in such a fashion that may appear as the erratic pleasure-seeking
behavior of a Supreme Being. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">The incomprehensible complexity of the world can be dealt with by saying
that a. the spectacle looks like the production of an attention-seeking neurotic,
and one is not able to comprehend the divine mind, b. the spectacle is indeed
impressive, but it does have a rational explanation, even if we can’t come
close to understanding it. This has happened to our forefathers. They closed
the book on the growth of the Beard, because there was no rational way of
comprehending all the variants that could have been grown. Had they had computers,
they could have tabulated all kinds of beards and would probably have come – by
brute force computing – to the same general principles we present today.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">Now, with the arrival of computers, one may be more selective in what one
rejects and what one accepts. Coming across a behavior of natural numbers
(actually, of nephews to them, paired up) that is cross, unexpected, extraordinary,
and surprising, one learns to accept that the seemingly well-ordered collection
that a few dozen of natural numbers pretend to be, is in reality a riot of
competing rivalries, where under some circumstances uneasy compromises can be
upheld, for a while. That what we believe to be the well-ordered reality turns
out to be a special case. The general case is much more tumultuous. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><b><span lang="EN-US">There
are rules to the tumults among the parts of a whole. </span></b><span lang="EN-US">The term <b>a-priori existing logical relations</b> appears to have been invented
for this fact, that there are rules that show what makes a whole, checks out,
is consistent, fits, is true, is comprehensible. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">In Logic,
we know that from <i>a. all living humans
breathe, b. Franz is a living human </i>follows as the missing part of a whole:
<i>c. Franz breaths</i>. We use the a-priori
existing logical relation demonstrated on Franz as a routine basis for our managing
our mental contents.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">In the
context of the Beard or of information, we show that there exist as stringent
rules of conclusion, which determine which parts of the whole are attached to
which other parts of the whole, as demonstrated on Franz. Here we say <i>a. two of three are {(4,10), (7,10)}, b. the
third of the three is (7,13), </i>of which follows as the missing part of a
whole: <i>c. this plane of space is empty. </i>The
result being a consequence of the premises, this is as numerically true as
Franz is logically true, comparable to the sequence of thoughts: <i>a. one summand is 3, b. the other summand is
4, c. the sum of 3,4 is 7. </i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">In the

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">We can,
however, speculate that we are under-educated in some ways of seeing the world,
falsely believing that our excellent education is the only way to achieve
clarity when assembling parts of ideas into a whole idea. Specifically, one may
point out that the cultural heritage left for us to cultivate further, which has
been inherited by us from the noble people of Sumer, does use delineating
instructions, contrasts against how not to count and what not to count. We
count according to strict rules. These rules were set by the Sumerians.</span></p>

assignment of a mental creation to a mental impression. We think up the ideas <i>1,2,3,… </i>as we see differently many apples
or houses or dolls, sitting in elementary school. <i>What </i>we count is a cultural convention. In our schools we learn, in
due accordance with the Sumerian tradition, <i>how
many </i>is the property that is relevant. We see the collection grow or shrink
and learn to mimic these changes by using the correct symbols which denote <i>how many </i>the objects are. In a different
cultural environment, we could have learnt to count degrees of <i>uniformity and diversity </i>as we were
looking at pictures combining houses, apples and dolls. This was the way the
inventive people of Akka had preferred. In order to give credence to our
insinuating speculation, that the Sumer method may be good and practical, but
not all that is there to counting, we have to digress into the history of the
Sumerian – Accadian wars, which, as we know, have ended with the complete
supremacy of Sumer above Akka. </span></p>

rhetorical polarisation we may imagine the two city states to have developed
different cultures due to elementary economic circumstances. The Sumer produced
a lot of grain and livestock and were generally of a productive sentiment. The
Akka were merchants and artisans, deep into specialisation in many arts and in

bin Zoltan ibn Alfred. </i>The figure may not be historical. Some say, this

Sumer, they had comparable things to count how many these are. In Akka, the
burghers had each different merchandise in their warehouses: some fruits, some
silk, some fish. In the hours of small talk about life, after work, when minds
wandered around what to invent next, their observations centered not so much
around <i>quantities, </i>but rather around <i>qualities, properties, preferences, regularities</i>.
The Sumerians had no problem expressing changes in quantities: they did possess
a common idea about what aspect of change is spoken about. In Akka, each a
specialist, it was less easy to come to a common understanding what one talks
about. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt 36pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt">For the jeweler, it is not the
<i>number </i>of stones that is important,
but their <i>quality. </i>For the
fishmonger, not the total mass of fish he possesses is important, but how their
<i>properties </i>are. The only entities
they had as a possession in common was their wives. Their perspective being
that of properties, not of quantities, and their common logical tokens being by
nature different, they naturally dwelt into the comparison of qualities of relatively
few, different units. (No reasonable husband in Akka would have suggested to
his wives that he regards them devoid of properties, interchangeable.)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">In the <i>Guidelines
</i>el-Hakim introduces <i>ranking </i>and <i>grouping. </i>His theory of aspects encourages
the husband to accept the properties of the wife as is and adapt himself,
because as he says: <i>“what is in their
inner nature is the most beautiful if it comes to flower by its natural implications.”
</i>Importantly, he remarks that the number of distinguishing aspects not only
not can be infinite (the husband may wish an infinitely subtle-differentiated
system of relations among his wives, but this will remain a dream), but is
necessarily lower than the number of wives. Some of the wives will always be
similar, under some aspects.</span></p>

that <i>16, 17, 18 </i>had a benign
influence on each other and that one should concentrate on a collection of a
manageable size to discuss priorities, qualities, rivalries, alternatives and equivalences,
similarities, and differences. They have chosen 136, because it laid in the middle
of two of their central milestones. They used <i>120 </i>in diverse forms, of which we keep the unit <i>60 </i>till our days, and they used the term
<i>grand dozen </i>for <i>144. </i>Their reasoning went: a. once you have calculated <i>2*3*4*5 </i>you have calculated all variants
of differing dimensions, b. once you have calculated <i>(3*4) * (3*4) </i>you have calculated all variants where the dimensions
are maximally similar. There is no reason to overdo additions, it can become a
habit and a compulsion. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">As the last war broke out, el-Hakim is reported to
have said: <i>See how science falls silent among
the arms. They will win and they will enforce their simple, unsophisticated
ways. They have taken the easy end of the log we carry. Any monkey can
calculate with uniform units. The inner interplay and how to count it, they
completely ignore. As Adorno will have said about Wittgenstein: Philosophy is
not investigating how correct and true sentences interact, philosophy is trying
to express clearly that what is yet un-comprehended. Counting the more-or-less-ness
of things by using uniform units is something completely different to counting
the such-or-such-ness of things, where one needs different units. Not the size
of the collection matters, but how the parts in it relate to each other. The
task is not to count how many is that what we already know, the task is to
predict, which part of the generally unpredictable will turn out to be
predictable.</i></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Dear
Colleagues,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Part I.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">1. Augurs
promising</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As was
remarked before, this group has matured into an
interactional community which comes close to the
ideal of friendly exchanges of advanced
thoughts. We have open minds, talents, are
interested and possess of time. This is an
artistic group which uses humour as one of its
communicative tools. The scenery is set for an
unusualy, really deep discussion. The stars are
in a favorable constellation, and the flight of
the eagles augurs great advances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The art of
Rhetoric has a great tradition and possesses its
own laws, rules and expediencies. Schopenhauer
has demonstrated in his <i>Eristic Dialectic</i>
[1], how a controversial discussion is to be
managed, if the goal is to gain advantages in a
debate. Here, we deal with a similar special
case of rhetoric, namely, how do we discuss a
subject about which the participants in the
debate know nothing. The methodology of
discussing the unknown has also a traditional
subject. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">2.
Subject of the Debate</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">There is an
idiomatic expression in German: <i>“um des
Kaisers Bart streiten”</i>. To discuss the
beard of the Emperor has become a synonym for
uselessly debating such things, about which no
one knows anything, and there is no way to come
to a clarification. Even if there were a way of
verification of hypotheses, the results would be
of no value, because there is no real
consequence attached to either of possibly many
results of the debate. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt" lang="EN-GB"> (Kaiser Frederic I,
drowned in 1190 during a crusade, was known
South of the Alps as the Red-Bearded,
Barbarossa, but not North of the Alps. Much
research has been dedicated to the controversy.)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Let us use
this etalon of scientific debate for our own
purposes, too. After all, we do not know what
information is, how it is interdependent with
energy, what forms can it have, and how much
these forms contrast among each other, and what
the meaning of information is. We similarly have
no idea, whether information is present in the
whole or in the parts of the whole, and if so,
by which methods and rules. Actually, even
questions of reality, objectivity,
interpersonally understandably communicating
about the subject emerge, as it could well have
been that the Emperor had no beard at all. We
propose to use for the discussion of the concept
of information the patterns of debate relating
to the beard of the Emperor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">3.
Clarification of the Meanings of the Terms
Used</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Unfortunately,
due to the strict discipline kept by the Server
at Zaragoza University, one can not include
drawings and illustrations in his contributions
to FIS. This is why I have to refer to a Figure
in Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_hair%23Styles_of_facial_hair" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)" rel="noreferrer
noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_hair#Styles_of_facial_hair</a>.
Let me propose for the current debate to use the
term ‘beard’ for the whole set of hairs on the
figure. This includes the subsets named
‘moustache’ and ‘jawbone’, where moustache means
all and every form of hair originating from
above the mouth and jawbone means all forms of
sideburns and goatees, that is, all the hair
that follows the bone of the chin. Generally,
the description of the beard agrees to <i>a + b
= c, </i>where <i>c </i>is the complete
facial hair (beard),<i> a, b </i>are
respectively the hair N of the mouth (moustache)
and the hair in regions W, S, E relative to the
mouth (sideburns & goatees). Here, however,
we shall call that part <i>a</i> of the
beard{N, /W,S,E/}<i>, </i>which is <i>less </i>than
the other part <i>b </i>of the beard <i>c</i>.
Whether <i>less </i>refers to less mm² or to
less mg of hair material shall be discussed in
the sequel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The beard
can grow on any and all places of the plane of
the skin. We create a Mercator map of the skin
of the face of the Emperor. Where the beard does
grow, a potential has been realised. If there is
no growth, be it because it had never grown
there, or it became shaved away or it fell out
(temporarily), we have a state of Zero. If there
is a hair on a spot, we give one of the symbols
{1,2,…,16} to distinguish it against other kinds
of growth. Such, we have <i>17 </i>degrees of
beard, from <i>Zero </i>meaning no beard at
all, thru <i>1 to 16 </i>which symbols
distinguish each a type of hair that has grown.
There are natural processes governing the growth
of the beard, and then there are actions by
participants in society, mostly by the subject
himself. One is free, as an Emperor, to grow any
and all forms of combinations of Zeroes and
Ones-to-Sixteens. The omnipotence of the Emperor
finds its limits, however, by the prescriptions
of Nature, which is likewise free to allow or
hinder the growth of hair on any specific spot.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">4.
Perspective of Discussion</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Attempting
to do right in a discussion about a subject
about which no one participating in the
discussion has admittedly any idea at all, has –
as mentioned – a noble tradition. That attempt
has been given up and has become a subject of
ridicule. The failure to come to a result is in
itself a result: that all the avenues
investigated so far have proved to be dead ends.
We know for sure, that all such methods that
have tried to establish a closing statement
about the Beard have proven to be a failure, at
least in their interplay. Therefore, a
completely new approach is needed. How can one
propose a solution to a problem of complex
interdependent unknowns otherwise than by
referring to the tradition established by having
investigated the beard of the Emperor? <b>We
discuss some behind-the-scenes organisational
principles that weave the different kinds of
unknowns into one complex system. </b>These
are other words for asking, which patterns of
hair could the Emperor have, and which are
mutually exclusive? Could he have grown spots
like a leopard or stripes like a zebra? What are
the rules that determine, which patterns can
come into existence and among such, which are
perceived art and beauty?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Please allow
me to use the classical perspective, even if it
may appear to you to be an arbitrary one, and to
re-formulate some of the contributions in the
FIS chatroom of the last few weeks and months,
under the aspect that we seriously and
diligently pick up on the work of our
predecessors and frame the whole collection of
unknowns as being part of the questions of the
beard of the Emperor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In order to
convince you about my seriousness of
transforming our debate relating to the concept
of information into the form used by our
predecessors and forefathers while they
discussed the concept of the beard of the
Emperor, I have culled some of snippets of your
contributions. We shall re-phrase some of them
to make visible that we are indeed conducting a
discussion here which accords in its syntax to
the discussion about the beard.</span></p>

that our current discussion about the ontology,

information follows the rhetorical rules of the
classical debate, among the subjects of which
the Beard of the Emperor has a classical,
prominent position. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In the
present Treatise, we discontinue discussing the
man-made and the man-judged levels of reality:
neither do we discuss how the Emperor was shaved
and trimmed, nor do we discuss what the social
consequences were of his beard being such as it
was.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We are
discussing, how parts that are unknown
are/become organised into a system which, while
remaining in its deep essence unknown, has
recognisable features, which each can be

know the complete, interacting system, without

Failures, Discouragement, Reluctance,
Resistance</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">As has been
stated before and repeated by Joseph (May 9,
2022): <i>“… most attempts at finding ‘clear’
definitions and other analytic approaches have
failed.”</i> This was the point at which our
forefathers have given up, and it seems that all
hope is lost when searching for an <b>organisational
principle</b> (along <i>Giordano Bruno: The
Cause, the Principle and One </i>[2]) <b>which
makes unknowns to interact in recognisable
patterns</b>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Practical
necessity overcomes intellectual abhorrence and
timidity. Even if the case with the Beard
appears to have been closed, the same situation
confronts us today. It is the same whether we
discuss the beard, follicles on specific places
getting enough nutrients or not, how
crystallisation takes place on a plane, how
planes can be laid atop each other to create a
space, how molecules attract and merge, how the
position of a logical marker on one of three
places determines the quality of the molecule
that can attach onto a specific place – all
these questions debate the relations of parts to
the whole, where <b>the parts appear to be
organised</b> <b>according to some</b> – as
yet unknown – <b>behind-the-scenes plan or
plans</b>. The debate goes back to theological
roots: if we believe that there is <i>one </i>overriding
Principle that organises the parts into the
whole, we are close to <i>monotheistic </i>concepts.
If we see an incessant, innate rivalry among
several Principles, we find ourselves in <i>polytheistic
</i>systems of thoughts. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">It is an
uncalled-for effort for contemporary scientists
to have to decide, whether they believe the
main, basic organisational principles to be <i>one
central</i> or rather <i>several coequal</i>
organisational perspectives. It is pure
necessity that forces us to do mental
contortions (<i>asanas</i>). If the interaction
in genetic information transfer, or among forms
of memory, had been accessible by <i>definitions
and analytic approaches</i>, we would not need
to uncover, de-archive the debate about the
Beard. Admitting that we are lost graduates us
into the position of a participant in the Debate
About the Beard. This is not by free <i>voluntas
</i>that one learns that different
organisational principles exist, alongside the
usual. Who wants to learn the Akkadian concept
of Unit and ways of counting, if he hasn’t to?
Who wants to familiarise with the system of
bondages during the feudal ages? In fact, no one
in his right sense would want to spend time
discussing the beard of a long dead emperor. </span></p>

to </i>variants. A part of the brain feels
superior towards a different part of the brain,
because the former has <i>publicly learnt </i>to
deal with uniform units, while the latter had to
<i>individually autodidact </i>how to deal with
diversity and variants. In the present Treatise
we ask Mr. Clever to help Mr Touchy-Feely (Mr.
Clever’s inner child) to express himself. This
may give rise to some cognitive dissonances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">There are
precedents for the irritation that the
introduction of a new world view has brought
about. “How can that be, that the Earth circles
the Sun, although we see every day that the Sun
circles the Earth?” and “How can that be that
our ancestors were apes, although we clearly see
that we are actually different to the apes?” are
of the same category as “How can that be that
concurrently counting in two counting systems
makes counting more exact and more indeterminate
at the same time, although we see that our one
and only counting system is functioning exactly
and error-free?”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Reader is
invited to adjust his perspectives as he
investigates the question, by which principles
and rules many unknown parts are organised into
a system which is a whole, and then some more
than the sum of its parts. (Definition of <i>Gestalt
</i>[4]). There is the subjective component of
the spectator, how the individual history of the
spectator had prepared him to accept a new
idea/explanation (how well his distracting
abilities can play with his abstracting
abilities), and there is the objective
component, how the spectator believes the world
to be organised by Nature.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Aside from
the reluctance to put up a perspective while
regarding the melee of the unknows to interact
beautifully, there remains the primary question:
<b>What do we use as measuring unit to establish
that a degree of organisational
interdependence is observable which is
different to the value of the degree of
organisational interdependence achieved by a
different observation?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">7. Proposed
Solution</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We take the
plane which is a depiction of the face of the
Emperor and <i>turn it over. </i>In the retro
vista we see all the physiological works of a
skin, with some follicles sprouting a hair and
some not. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We
distinguish the <i>paths </i>of the
nourishment flows (and suppose that there are
several types of nourishment compositions), from
the <i>material </i>that sprouts on some
spots. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We clarify
the terms <i>path, material, composition </i>by
referring to the term <i>cycle. </i>The term
cycle is a part of the context: reorder in
consequence of <i>periodic changes.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The term <i>periodic
changes </i>is considered to be axiomatic, or
given the deictic definition ‘that what happens
as consequence of the Moon’s movements around
the Earth, the Earth’s rotation, the Earth’s
movement around the Sun’. Transported into
dealing with natural numbers, periodic changes
are observable there in the form of orders
(sequences) and of reorders (procedure which
generates cycles).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The cycles
are – in a geometric interpretation – paths.
Paths can cross. In a visual interpretation,
cycles can also be seen as strings or filaments,
or caravans. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In fact, we
have created an etalon cohort of logical tokens
(made up of <i>136 </i>pairs of <i>(a, b)</i>),
which we use as a catalogue of possible states
of whatever that consists of two parts. The idea
to take the most basic collection of individuals
(aka ‘logical primitives’ © <i>M. Abundis</i>)
and subject these to repeated periodic changes,
is to establish a researchable data set, out of
which numeric values for the strength of a
relation among elements can be read off.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The patterns
observed while the logical primitives are
reordering allow erecting space concepts, with
spots and places where caravans cross.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We shall
introduce the concept of a follicle to be one
specific kind of place where the caravans
crossing have specific properties. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The only
remaining task is to set up the accounting
behind the idea. The resulting web of numerical
relations binds the elements to each other by
means of what we term <b><i>bondage. </i></b>The
bondage reflects the connection of an element to
different elements.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We propose
to use the bondage values as a concurrent
system. It may well be, that the bondage value
system is that organising principle that knits
elements and places together with temporal and
other qualitative properties. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">8. Closing
Remarks</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The
proposals in the last Chapter shall be published
in more details in Parts II – IV. </span></p>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks to Joseph for his lucid
comments. Most people in this list think that
the new syntheses needed should contain a
fundamental ingredient: clarifying the
scientific & philosophical thought around
information. It is a critical element that has
obscured, polarized, and aggravated nasty
problems of our times. Would we be capable to
offer clear advancements about that? <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>About the current session, thanks to
Mariusz for his presentation & responses.
The point of view of the arts is an important
angle for the above tasks (it would be great
that he remains and contributes in our list).</div>
<div>Thereafter, maybe it is time to go to the
next session on Natural Computation. However,
for technical reasons of the supporting
publication, we should wait a few weeks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In this context--Terry, would it be
possible that you continue with your session
during these weeks? There are several messages
addressed to you that could be useful to
connect with...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best greetings to all,</div>
<div>--Pedro<br>
