absolute 1

0 is the fulcrum of integers, the nudity of naturals.

0 can symbolize the female but perhaps better symbolizes Being-under-erasure.

The number line itself is the female, the matrix.

The number line, like woman, is bifurcated.

The number line implies a 2.

We can think of left/right movement or up/down movement.

We can think of more or less magnitude, if we want to avoid the spatial element.

But we must have duality if we hope to have movement.

We see that binary system, although it does not contain the digit 2, contains 2 digits.

It also contains the line, which is an implied 2.

A number is the cut on the line.

A number is a unity, a union of its digits, a singular quantity.

All numbers are "male."

Are all operators "female"?

By "female" I mean dual.

The even numbers were considered female.

The odd numbers were male.

The operation of negation/inversion is the most poetic of operators.

Logic is modular base 2 arithmetic.

Logic is number reduced to lowest functional terms.

Assuming that only binary and singular operators are allowed.

Obviously, only a few operators are conceivable, and most are redundant if convenient.

Logic must have a binary operator.

Math needs binary operators in order to describe relationships.

The NOT or INVERSE operator is not enough, despite its perfect beauty.

Mathematics reveals ontology.

Logos obscures it?

But this book is logos.

The proto-logic is also the absolute logic.

We abandon the "transcendental" logic, or analytic, as it implies a dualism.

Kant's noumena seems illogical.

Idealism evolves beyond itself.

The "system of concepts" recognizes itself as the structure of reality.

If reality is structure by the concept, then reality and the concept are one, dissolving the duality.
But the matrix is dual.

Absolute ontology is negative.

Being is not one.

Being is negative one.

The structure of reality negates itself.

Reality is dynamic but unified.

The self and reality are one.

The "self" is a flexible part of the intelligible structure of "reality/self/it."

Dualisms are justified practically.

Philosophy is poetry.

Nonism is poetry.

Truth is beauty.

Pi is the constant of eternity.

e is the constant of time.

A circle is a logarithmic spiral with a 0 growth rate.

This is poetry.

Truth is beautiful.

12 is a superperfect number.

This means it is the sum of its factors, AND that its factors are sums of their factors.

It's the only superperfect number that isn't huge.

We know that 12 is important historically.

Our calendars have twelve months.

Christ had twelve disciples.

Pure quantity is beautiful in itself and also because it is eternal.

12 will outlive individual humans, if not the species.

-1 is not only a number but also an inversion operator.

-1 is a negativity wand.

The sigma (for summing) works just like a computer program.

It's a machine made of pure thought.

-1 is powerful in such a machine.

i is perhaps more powerful.

If -1 is an inversion, the i is a half-inversion.

If -1 one is pi radians, then i is pi/2 radians.

Positive unity, or 1, is the absolute number.

If 0 is number naked, then 1 is number crowned.

1 is the prime of primes.

1 is super-prime.

1 is the foundation of all ratio.

1 hides between all other integers, as the measure of the space between them.

n is often used to denote natural numbers.

p is often used to denote primes.

x and y are often used to denote unknowns.

a and b are often used to represent indeterminate constants.

this makes them the variables that paradoxically represent constants.

we need a constant that represents variables.

we need a constant for randomness.

r would work, but so would the questionmark.

a greek letter might be preferred.

theta is used for angles.

infinitesimals are limits without the dodge.

the limit concept is sublime.

but so are infinitesimals.

zeno has not been refuted.

zeno is an ontologist.

beings are unities.

beings are ones.

beings are enclosures.

the mountain is sense data considered as a whole and associated with other similarly constituted objects or beings.

this includes abstract objects, or thoughts.

thought and memory are discrete.

qualia is experienced as something other than concept, but concept cannot express this.

"red" is not redness.

"infinity" is not infinity.

the "transrational" is nothing but feelings/sensations.

life is the clash of two inferred elements, experienced as unity.

sensation/feeling apart from concept is one element.

concept apart from particular concepts is the other.

we cannot speak of sensation or feeling except by means of concept.

we cannot think of a thoughtless reality.

we infer that we are the union of two such elements.

synthesis and negation are one.

synthesis is the negation of accident.

this refers to the essence and accident contrast.

what makes a chair a chair, for instance, is its essence.

what can be taken away or added is its accident.

to synthesize we negate.

the concept animal is the synthesis of cats, dogs, mice, etc.

But this is simultaneously a negation of their differences.

For when we speak of animals, we are intentionally vague or general.

And this is only possible because what is accidental to their status as animals is negated.

If we wanted to refer only to dogs, we would have.

We can choose the level of generality as needed.

Concepts enclose one another like russian dolls.

Concepts exist in a tree-like system.

Our biggest abstractions include most of the rest.

For instance: the universe, reality, everything, the all.

Heidegger used Being in this way.

What is the Being of beings?

It is not consciousness, for consciousness is a being.

It is not "Being" for "Being" is a word.

This leads us to negative ontology.

The being of beings is inferred as a one that cannot be present, for every one that is present, or positive, will be yet another being.

The negative object is absolute negation.

An object is created by negation/inversion.

A television, for instance, is just the inverse of the not-television.

An object is defined by what it is not.

And what it is not is defined by what it is.

This is like a cut on the Real line.

Mathematics reveals ontology.

Ontology is the logic of being.

Logic is a being.

Absolute logic is the self-consciousness of the negative being.

This sounds mystical, but is not.

Philosophy has lost itself in psychology.

The essence of philosophy is the description of essence.

Man qua man is essentially essence.

Essence is thought.

Thought is being.

Thought is reality.

Reality is thought.

Thought is the structure of reality.

Reality is the structure of thought.

We are dealing with words.

If reality is thought and thought is reality, why must we use two words for the same thing?

Dualities like this are practical.

1 is the onliest number.

It owes its recursions to the Line.

Infinity is a proto-number.

Infinity is implied by positional notation.

The 0 helped infinity to fly.

10 is beautiful for several reasons.

It represents the number of digits in its base.

It is the first number in this base to manifest positional notational.

It is the first natural appearance of zero within this base.

It contains both and only the two most beautiful digits.

It contains both an even and an odd digit.

It contains the super-prime and the un-number.

0 is a being that represents nonbeing.

0 emphasizes, to the thoughtful, its existence as pure concept.

0 is the presence of an absence.

1000 is beautiful precisely because the 0s are modest.

0s appear as the notational system takes on another digit.

999 + 1 = 1000

2 is the number of the matrix.

2 is Mary.

1 is Jesus.
