CYCLE TWENTY-ONE
1. To distinguish the metachemical antiform and anticontent of anti-art, descending in space-time
materialism from most to least via more and less ugliness and hatred, from the metachemical form and content of art, ascending in
space-time materialism from least to most via less and more beauty and love.
2. To distinguish the
chemical antiform and anticontent
of anti-literature, descending in volume-mass realism from most to least via
more and less weakness and humility, from the chemical form and content of
literature, ascending in volume-mass realism from least to most via less and
more strength and pride.
3. Conversely, to distinguish the physical form
and content of sculpture, ascending in mass-volume naturalism from least to
most via less and more knowledge and pleasure, from the physical antiform and anticontent of
anti-sculpture, descending in mass-volume naturalism from most to least via
more and less ignorance and pain.
4. To distinguish the
metaphysical form and content of music, ascending in time-space idealism from
least to most via less and more truth and joy, from the metaphysical antiform and anticontent of
anti-music, descending in time-space idealism from most to least via more and
less falsity and woe.
5. Space-time materialism affords us, in view of
its noumenal objectivity, a contrast between anti-art
as primary and art as secondary, since anti-art is that which descends, in due
particle-based fashion, from most to least via more and less antiform (ugliness) and anticontent
(hatred).
6. Likewise volume-mass realism affords us, in
view of its phenomenal objectivity, a contrast between anti-literature as
primary and literature as secondary, since anti-literature is that which
descends, in due particle-based fashion, from most to least via more and less antiform (weakness) and anticontent
(humility).
7. Conversely mass-volume naturalism affords us,
in view of its phenomenal subjectivity, a contrast between sculpture as primary
and anti-sculpture as secondary, since sculpture is that which ascends, in due wavicle-centred vein, from least to most via less and more
form (knowledge) and content (pleasure).
8. Likewise time-space idealism affords us, in
view of its noumenal subjectivity, a contrast between
music as primary and anti-music as secondary, since music is that which
ascends, in due wavicle-centred vein, from least to
most via less and more form (truth) and content (joy).
9. The domination of art and literature by
anti-art and anti-literature is the objective counterpart to the liberation of
sculpture and music from anti-sculpture and anti-music in due subjective vein.
10. Anti-art is never more ugly and hateful nor
art less beautiful and lovely than in the scientific subdivisions of space-time
materialism, while, conversely, anti-art is never less ugly and hateful nor art
more beautiful and lovely than in the religious subdivisions thereof.
11. Likewise, anti-literature is never weaker and
humbler nor literature stronger and prouder than in the scientific subdivisions
of volume-mass realism, while, conversely, anti-literature is never less weak
and humble nor literature more strong and proud than in the religious
subdivisions thereof.
12. By contrast, sculpture is never less
knowledgeable and pleasurable nor anti-sculpture more ignorant and painful than
in the scientific subdivisions of mass-volume naturalism, while, conversely,
sculpture is never more knowledgeable and pleasurable nor anti-sculpture less
ignorant and painful than in the religious subdivisions thereof.
13. Similarly, music is never less true and joyful
nor anti-music more false and woeful than in the scientific subdivisions of
time-space idealism, while, conversely music is never more true and joyful nor
anti-music less false and woeful than in the religious subdivisions thereof.
14. Since form and
content are proportionate in both their negative and positive manifestations,
we cannot claim that there will be more form and less content in art and
literature, as against less form and more content in sculpture and music. On the contrary, all we can claim with any
certainty is that the nature of form and content will differ from one art form
to another, even as the type of form and content remains approximately constant
within any given art form.
15. Hence we have to distinguish the apparent form
and content of art, whether in its negative or its positive mode, from the
quantitative form and content of literature, and further distinguish each of
these objective art forms from the qualitative form and content of sculpture
and, least but hardly subjectively least, the essential form and content of
music.
16. Thus since the apparent form and content of
art derives from its metachemical basis in
materialism, we may hold that form and content in art will always be apparent,
even as it undergoes proportionate modifications in keeping with a descent (if
negative) from most to least via more and less ugliness and hatred, or an
ascent (if positive) from least to most via less and more beauty and love - the
former options primary and the latter ones secondary.
17. Likewise, since the quantitative form and
content of literature derives from its chemical basis in realism, we may hold
that form and content in literature will always be quantitative, even as it
undergoes proportionate modifications in keeping with a descent (if negative)
from most to least via more and less weakness and humility, or an ascent (if
positive) from least to most via less and more strength and pride - the former
options primary and the latter ones secondary.
18. Conversely, since the qualitative form and
content of sculpture derives from its physical basis in naturalism, we may hold
that form and content in sculpture will always be qualitative, even as it
undergoes proportionate modifications in keeping with an ascent (if positive)
from least to most via less and more knowledge and pleasure, or a descent (if
negative) from most to least via more and less ignorance and pain - the former
options primary and the latter ones secondary.
19. Likewise, since the essential form and content
of music derives from its metaphysical basis in idealism, we may hold that form
and content in music will always be essential, even as it undergoes
proportionate modifications in keeping with an ascent (if positive) from least
to most via less and more truth and joy, or a descent (if negative) from most
to least via more and less falsity and woe - the former options primary and the
latter ones secondary.
20. Where the objective axes are concerned, the
primary elements and/or elementinos will be hegemonic
in both the scientific (elemental-particle) and political (molecular-particle)
subdivisions, but subordinate in both the economic (molecular-wavicle) and religious (elemental-wavicle)
subdivisions, as a predominating particle (coupled to a 'subponderating'
wavicle) ratio is superseded by a 'subdominating' particle (coupled to a preponderating wavicle) one.
21. Where, by contrast, the subjective axes are
concerned, the primary elements and/or elementinos
will be subordinate in both the scientific (elemental-particle) and political
(molecular-particle) subdivisions, but hegemonic in both the economic
(molecular-wavicle) and religious (elemental-wavicle) subdivisions, as a 'subponderating'
wavicle (coupled to a predominating particle) ratio
is superseded by a preponderating wavicle (coupled to
a 'subdominating' particle) one.
22. Hence, in space-time
materialism, evil devolves negatively from a hegemonic to a subordinate primary
status and evolves positively from a subordinate to a hegemonic secondary
status, as it passes through scientific, political, economic, and religious
subdivisions of noumenal objectivity.
23. Hence, in volume-mass realism, goodness
devolves negatively from a hegemonic to a subordinate primary status and
evolves positively from a subordinate to a hegemonic secondary status, as it
passes through scientific, political, economic, and religious subdivisions of
phenomenal objectivity.
24. Hence, in mass-volume naturalism, folly
evolves positively from a subordinate to a hegemonic primary status and
devolves negatively from a hegemonic to a subordinate secondary status, as it
passes through scientific, political, economic, and religious subdivisions of
phenomenal subjectivity.
25. Hence, in time-space idealism, wisdom evolves
positively from a subordinate to a hegemonic primary status and devolves
negatively from a hegemonic to a subordinate secondary status, as it passes
through scientific, political, economic, and religious subdivisions of noumenal subjectivity.
