CYCLE TWO
1. To contrast the phenomenal planes of Volume
and Mass with the noumenal planes of Space and Time -
the former planes natural (in an all-encompassing sense) and the latter ones
supernatural.
2. Thus there are two natural planes no less
than two supernatural ones ... in both sensuality and sensibility.
3. The natural planes
are divisible between the physicality of Mass and the metaphysicality
of Volume, while the supernatural planes are divisible between the chemistry of
Time and what might be called the metachemistry of
Space.
4. Nature is thus divisible between physical and
metaphysical, Mass and Volume, whereas supernature is
divisible between chemical and metachemical, Time and
Space.
5. To contrast the
physical nature of Mass with the metaphysical nature of Volume, further
contrasting the chemical supernature of Time with the
metachemical supernature of
Space.
6. Physical nature can be negative or positive,
massive or massed, being realist in the former context
but humanist in the latter one.
7. Metaphysical nature can be negative or positive,
volumetric or voluminous, being materialist in the former context but
nonconformist in the latter one.
8. Chemical supernature
can be negative or positive, sequential or repetitive, being naturalist (in a
more specific sense) in the former context but fundamentalist in the latter
one.
9. Metachemical supernature can be negative or positive, spatial or spaced, being idealist in the former context but transcendentalist
in the latter one.
10. Physical nature is subjectively phenomenal in
its negative mode and objectively phenomenal in its positive mode, whereas
metaphysical nature is objectively phenomenal in its negative mode and
subjectively phenomenal in its positive mode.
11. Chemical supernature
is subjectively noumenal in its negative mode and
objectively noumenal in its positive mode, whereas metachemical supernature is
objectively noumenal in its negative mode and
subjectively noumenal in its positive mode.
12. That which is negative is false, contrasting
with the genuineness of whatever is positive.
The 'false' is everywhere evil and the 'genuine' alone good.
13. Evil is that which, being false, is apparent,
extrinsic, divergent, sensual, etc., whereas good is that which, being genuine,
is essential, intrinsic, convergent, sensible, etc.
14. Thus nature is both good and evil in physical
and metaphysical modes, supernature both good and
evil in chemical and metachemical modes.
15. Physical nature is evil in realism and good in
humanism - the former affiliated to massive Mass and the latter to massed Mass.
16. Metaphysical nature is evil in materialism and
good in nonconformism - the former affiliated to
volumetric Volume and the latter to voluminous Volume.
17. Chemical supernature
is evil in naturalism and good in fundamentalism - the former affiliated to
sequential Time and the latter to repetitive Time.
18. Metachemical supernature is evil in idealism and good in
transcendentalism - the former affiliated to spatial Space and the latter to
spaced Space.
19. The negativity of evil nature/supernature diverges from a vacuum, whereas the positivity of good nature/supernature
converges upon a plenum.
