i have been writing up a storm, on not-so-bad days. i finished vol 3 (now vol
2) of the kosmos trilogy—which is now about 1400 pages or so in all, which i
will edit and hopefully condense a bit (or hell, just arbitrarily break it in
two and put "volume 2" on the first pile and "volume 3" on the second). the
last half of it will be appearing in a series of 4 or 5 150-page excerpts (which
is the 800 pages i wrote during this recent episode in the last several
months), of which excerpt A is already posted on the kw shambhala site (on integral
methodological pluralism and integral post-metaphysics). but while i was
editing excerpt B, i got sidetracked into this thing on perspectives that i
mentioned to some of you. it's basically another book, and it's really outrageous,
easily as cool as the SES stuff. in fact, just like with SES, i now have yellow
legal pads all over the place with the beginnings of an "integral calculus"
that constructs a kosmos with perspectives instead of perceptions. part of it
is an actual calculus, like g. spencer brown's laws of forms (which varela used
in his autopoiesis theory), except brown used a flatland cosmology where
subjects see objects, instead of first and second and third persons (holons)
seeing each other. the latter gives you a real kosmos with real sentient beings
having perspectives, not an agent starring blankly at a world of alien
communions. part of this theory also includes an actual integral calculus (mathematics)
that is totally fucking mind blowing. anyway, i'm up to 120 legal pad pages,
so maybe when i hit 200 it will be fleshed out…. i will pull it out as a
separate book and try to get vol 2 edited, or at least the excerpts posted. as for
the integral perspectives stuff, david deida was here visiting the last few
days, and he got a pretty good overview of it. he definitely thinks it's beyond
SES…. ask him about it. (if he tells you he was humoring the sick guy, keep it
to yourself.)
