Extraordinariation (E+)
The cosmic goal is profound
Quest for Potential∞ is probing and searching for
grandeur…elegance…beauty…symmetry…fulfillment....consciousness…harmony…artistry… symphony…spirituality...perfection…humanitarianism…romancing… love…parenting...meaning...altruism…mercy…
E+ would, as well, represent ultimate -
complexity/sophistication/richness/integration/variety/wondrousness
[These six 'themes' are the components of
the intermediate dynamic Complexification (C+)
which feeds-into Extraordinariation (E+).]
– plus possibilities and potentials as yet not precisely known either to us
or
to Quest for Potential∞ itself
Thus, to put it mildly, E+ is a ‘tall order.’
In combination, the possible outermost-limit realization of the myriad potentials above –
both the known and unknown – would define the extraordinaration goal.
In parallel to the concept of infinity,
extraordnariation is a goal to be sought, but conceptually not ever quite-fully realized.
Let's use the
shorthand notation : E+
for Summa's extraordinariation
Now, E+ is much more than ‘complexity’
even though it is most often also complex;
but all super-complex is not necessarily E+
Meaning, the cosmic goal is the super-profound E+
and not simply complexity per se.
It is currently scientifically fashionable in some (cutting-edge and quite-sophisticated) scientific quarters to delineate ‘complexity’ as the cosmic goal; however ‘complexity’ is a more pedestrian manifestation than E+; the cosmos has no particular need for ‘complexity’ per se; only to the extent that it (ultimately) advances E+. The cosmos has a strong predilection for the extraordinary; but, oftentimes it takes complexity to get to ‘extraordinary’
One could argue that all E+ goals are inherently complex, whether or not one discerns the complexity; but I am far from convinced that such is the case.
Take for example Mozart’s music
It is extraordinary and profound, but does ‘complexity’ stand out?
One can readily make-the-case within the context of Summa that Mozart’s music would qualify for E+
Note that the relationship of complexity to E+ is somewhat parallel to the relationship between the tip of the iceberg (which is visible) to the underwater part of the iceberg (the dominant part) which is not so readily apparent/visible.
But also note that there is a whole other level to this subject.
On the next very crucial level,
E+
incorporates potentials which neither 21st century man can conceptualize,
nor which Q4P itself can (fully) conceptualize
Indeed, Q4P may not fully conceptualize a new Potential until it is
just X levels away
and maybe NOT if it is X+1 levels away
We do not know exactly how prescient Q4P is
We do not know if –
A) Q4P’s forward-conceptualization is an On/Off switch
( depending on how many levels away it is )
or
B) a matter of degree
Probably (B), but not definitely.
Now, what were you saying about 22nd Century man with super-consciousness?
