Definitions by tomorrowtomorrow

archeology

The study of whether or not there is a past; and if so what constitutes the past.

Also called phenomenology (self-annihilationism), extinctionism, and artifactualism.

Incorrectly called "annihilationism." (Annihilationism points in time forward.)
Archeology attempts to determine whether there was a past by differentiating artifacts from chimeras.

Historical phonology schematized by Saussure proffers that sound is the only artifact energizing (emergentizing) from quintions (sound-symbols).

self-simulacra 

Self-paradox.

Self-image.

The ontology of meaning from fiction (self, nation, myth) because process is an image of itself.
Fiction (paradox) has real (naturalistic) meaning because process (self-paradox) is a self-simulacra (self-image).

Ie. Meaning arises because process is a self-image.

Protestant surrealism 

Democracy as emergent from an aesthetic critique of Protestantism. Democracy as a Catholic critique of Protestantism.
Protestant surrealism assumes that democracy is Christianity criticizing itself.

inevitability 

A state that ends in cyclical time (synchronicity).
An inevitability begins in linear time and ends in synchronicity (paradox-as-a-metastate).

contingency 

A state that begins with paradox-as-a-value (null point) and ends in gradualism (linear time).
Contingency naturalizes (processizes) as a meta-state (self-paradox), self-actualizes as a null value (paradox-as-a-point), and emerges as a phenomenon (linearism (curve)).
contingency by tomorrowtomorrow January 15, 2019

synchronicity 

Paradox as a meta-state. The state of paradox being simultaneously a null value and a self-value with a pursuant corollary that "self" and "null" are oppositive values respectively.
Synchronicity is one of four states of the paradox: paradox-as-a-line (process) , paradox-as-a-point (value), paradox-as-a-curve (phenomenon), and paradox-as-a-state (metastate) with two, paradox-as-a-process and paradox-as-a-state being meta-states.

lithogenesis 

The process by which life emerged from films of water trapped in between silicon rocks.
Lithogenesis is the materialist foundation (phenology) of naturalism.

It implies that while consciousness is not a computer the body is.
