Synthesis

The big challenge thus is to synthesize the whole human heritage into an overarching New Paradigm—as introduced before in my "Abstraction" essay—relieved of currently-dominant verbal/ mathematic suppositions. This (macroscopic) model might enable a mature combination of all disciplines (including science and theology) to reconsider empirically and holistically the human condition lodged on a matrix betwixt suffering, pleasure and all the inscrutably surrounding magnitudes.

Note (January '04): Dr. Robert Gibbons just handed me the February 2002 issue of "Discover" Magazine (vol. 22 No. 2), p. 37; containing an article by Eric Haseltine entitled The Greatest Unanswered Questions of Physics. "But nobody has woven together the tiny world of quantum mechanics and the big world we see when we look through a telescope. As these come together physicists realize they are getting very close to a single 'theory of everything' that accounts for the fundamental workings of nature, the long-sought unified field theory." (Page 38.) Hopefully my visual impressions--from context extending beyond surface appearances--will suggest ideas for research synthesizing the microscopic and macroscopic.

A new intellectual maturity is developing to finally face the task--to tackle cosmic perplexity with the open minds of brave adults--rather than the flinching expectations of species infancy fostered by sheltering language.
