Preliminaries: Building Blocks: Frameworks of Perspectives (Wondrous Wisdom)
Channel: Math 4 Wisdom
Date: 2023-01-18

This is the first in a series of videos to overview the basics of "wondrous wisdom" so that I could then share with you my ongoing research.

As things stand, "wondrous wisdom" is simply my philosophy about everything.  Every philosopher develops their own private language which, if successful, can be taken up by others who pursue it further.  And yet philosophers are not able to come to agreement on anything.  What would be truly successful would be to develop a language of wisdom, which is to say, a language of cognitive frameworks, which would allow us to understand and relate each and every thinker.  Since 1982, when I was 17, I have been documenting such a language, which I now call "wondrous wisdom".  My hope with "Math 4 Wisdom" is to foster a scientific community to work on this together by relating this language of wisdom with the language of advanced mathematics.  Meanwhile, most every day I keep investigating this "wondrous wisdom".

I start this video with an outline of what I hoped to get through, which was outrageously optimistic.  Fortunately, I went at a reasonably leisurely pace.  So this first video is simply about the preliminaries.  These are the basic cognitive frameworks by which perspectives fit together.  I documented these early on and they continuously arise in more sophisticated structures.

0:00 I start with my outline which includes Preliminaries (the "bottom-up" facts which we go through in this video) and then Overview (the "top-down" perspective on the big picture, which we didn't get to) and finally Research Update (I was hoping to discuss my latest research!)

12:00 The most elementary structure is "Everything", which has four properties: No external context; No filter (accepts all things); No internal structure; Required concept.

16:30 The twosome (for existence), threesome (for participation), foursome (for knowledge) are the A-B-C's of the language of wisdom.  They are divisions of everything.

21:15 We conceive the twosome (opposites coexist & all is the same) by ways of four conceptions (free will & fate)(outside & inside)(theory & practice)(same & different).

26:00 We conceive the foursome (for knowledge) by way of two conceptions, the questions (whether? what? how? why?) and the answers (whether! what! how! why!)

31:15 We conceive the threesome (the learning cycle of taking a stand, following through and reflecting) by way of four conceptions (necessary, actual, possible)(object, process, subject)(one, all, many)(being, doing, thinking). This makes for 12 circumstances which are the unities for the backdrops by which we imagine an individual perspective.

39:45 I mention the onesome (for everything) and also the nullsome (for God).

41:30 I mention that there are 8 divisions, 6 conceptions and 12 circumstances.  The divisions frame perspectives.  The conceptions are *perspectives* on perspectives by which we conceive the frameworks as wholes.  The circumstances are perspectives on *perspectives* by which we conceive individual perspectives.

43:15 The 8 divisions form an eight-cycle.

47:30 The sevensome describes a self-standing logical system.  The eightsome would add an eight perspective by which "all are good and all are bad" and so the system is empty and we have the nullsome.

49:45 I hope to relate the eight-cycle to Bott periodicity and topological insulators.

51:45 Our minds shift from division to division (from mental state to mental state) by way of three operations (levels of reflection).  The Unconscious (which knows the best answer!) adds a perspective.  The Conscious (which asks questions requiring several answers) adds a perspective upon a perspective.  Consciousness (the controller which chooses between the two) adds a perspective upon a perspective upon a perspective.

54:10 Our minds set up a dialogue between a champion of answers (what we know) and a champion of questions (what we don't know).  I suppose this is why our brains have two hemispheres.  I also suppose that our society needs such dialogue between two genders, however they may manifest themselves.
