Synopsis

Regarding the metaphysical systems: Building metaphysical systems is the process of moving forward with what theoretical metaphysics puts into place. Theoretical metaphysics brings to the building site the materials with which the metaphysical engineer begins the construction of the model itself. As such, let us examine the building materials which theoretical metaphysics has put before us. Once we have taken this step, let’s examine some of the potential models metaphysical engineering could construct. Since a relatively large number of models will be presented, we will examine only four in detail. We will then take the final model and put it into non-technical language, generalizations. ... [28 models of reality drawn] Now concepts of singularity are quite complex enough for this examination of metaphysical systems. Concepts of multiplicity are no doubt just as much a possibility as concepts of singularity and thus cannot be ignored. To consider the concept of multiplicity however, would go against the parameters set out by Husserl. Reductionism can only be ignored at the expense of confusion. It is for this reason the concept of multiplicity will be ignored at this point in time. Page 44: In depth analysis of several models follow: Note: The concept of Multiplicity is not the existence of ‘a’ Metaphysical concept the physical universe in two ‘locations’ at the same ‘time’ but rather the concept of Multiplicity is the concept of the existence of “a’ whole’ Metaphysical concept existing in two separate ‘locations’ at the same time. Such a perception takes on the appearance of rationality when it is a verb of action the physical universe examined, for example the physical universe - the verb. We recognize the physical universe – action occurring in more than one place at time. Now granted time has just been interjected into the equation, but one can just as readily extract time and the concept of multiplicity of action remains. The debate concerning the interconnection of time and action is not what is the physical universe addressed here, nor is the rationality of the multiplicity of action itself the physical universe debated. Such examinations are entirely different topics. The voluminous material, On the individual the physical universe, is an exercise in Husserl’s reductionism and basic Metaphysics and as such, complexity of argument must be set aside for a later date. Without setting such debate aside, the trilogy moves from the physical universe a single set of three books to the physical universe many multiple sets of three books. The perception of Metaphysical multiplicity of action may take on a sense of rationality but the perception of Metaphysical multiplicity of ‘a’ the individual takes on an appearance of irrationality. As such, to prevent confusing the issue, we will, in this section of this chapter, examine the Metaphysical multiplicity of action rather than other forms of Metaphysical multiplicity. This in turn will lead us back to the concept of Metaphysical Singularity. A little patience is needed at this point.
