Theory of Perspectivist Sciences

A framework for understanding the plurality of sciences as arising from different perspectives—each science offering a particular view of reality, none capturing everything. Perspectivist Sciences recognizes that physics sees the world as matter in motion; biology sees it as living systems; psychology sees it as minded experience. Each perspective is valid, each partial, each revealing something the others miss. Perspectivist Sciences studies how these perspectives relate, how they complement and sometimes conflict, and how multiple perspectives together give richer understanding than any single one.

Theory of Perspectivist Sciences "You want one science to explain everything. Perspectivist Sciences says: impossible. Physics explains matter; biology explains life; psychology explains mind. Each perspective reveals something the others miss. Truth isn't in any single perspective; it's in the conversation between them. Perspectivism isn't relativism—it's recognizing that reality is too rich for one view."

Theory of the Perspectivism of the Laws of Physics

A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics appear differently from different perspectives—that what counts as a "law" depends on the observer's situation, scale, and conceptual framework. Drawing on insights from relativity (where simultaneity is frame-dependent) and quantum mechanics (where measurement context matters), this theory extends perspectivism to all physical law. The perspectivism of physical laws suggests that no single formulation captures the whole truth—laws are inherently perspectival, their form determined by the relationship between observer and observed. This doesn't mean laws are arbitrary or subjective; it means they're relational, describing not reality-in-itself but reality-as-experienced-from-a-particular-vantage. Understanding perspectivism might reveal that apparent contradictions between laws (quantum vs. classical, relativity vs. quantum) arise from taking a single perspective as absolute rather than recognizing the validity of multiple perspectives.

Perspecticide

To view someone through character or characteristics that match those of a pest type ) seeing someone as a bug that needs to be exterminated

Perspective

"That's the best choice in view of your own mind in a moment. Don't rush but don't be hasty to not decide. Don't be lazy. Keep busy in any way, but give yourself time to collect yourself. Relax as you reset for a moment. Become mindfully aware and to even clear your mind in just a moment."

Shopping perspectives

When people from northern europe travel to Africa to see the poverty and get a kick out of reality, in order to put their everyday life 'in a bigger perspective'.

"So has he been out saving the world with Bono the past 4 months?"

"No, I think he's just been shopping perspectives.."
