For CONTENTS of present Part : See further below.
This whole Website consists of six Main Parts :
- First Part of Website (where you are now) is about Substance and Being.
- Second Part of Website
SYMMETRY : Structure of Crystals, Group Theory, Promorphology.
- Third Part of Website Theory of the Implicate Order. A holistic vision of the world.
- Fourth Part of Website Theory of Ontological Layers : Category Layers.
Application of Promorphology to two-dimensional crystals.
Broadening of Ontological Theory. Snow Crystals and the Analogy between Crystals and Organisms. Categorical Laws. Thermodynamics.
- Fifth Part of Website Aristotelian metaphysics revisited. Predication, Signification, Theory of Natures, Intentional Logic.
New Metaphysical Theory (combination of the theory of SUBSTANCE with that of the IMPLICATE ORDER).
Application of the new theory to organic evolution in general, and to the EVOLUTION OF INSECTS especially.
- Sixth Part of Website
Evolution of (all) insects (paleo-entomology).
Evolution of the flight-function in insects.
Insect evolution in terms of aut-ecology and in terms of the Implicate and Explicate Orders.
Further elaborating on the noëtic theory of organic evolution.
Setting up Natural Philosophy (space, place, motion, time, qualities, and quantities).
The theory of Being qua Being.
