Atomism has been the exclusive system of logic, of the governing establishment of Western societies, for the last 2000 plus years while it violently repressed all manifestations of holism. This literally shaped a totalitarian atmosphere as the history of so many Southern nations is attesting. The present redistribution of the geopolitical cards is realized in the atmosphere of this totalitarianism. It should thus not come as a surprise that the shift —from a Western centric world order into a new world order driven by societies whose knowledge abides by a holistic vision— causes such widespread Western resentment.
The future world order, if by chance there is ever one, will inevitably come to blame the old Western centric world order for having caused the present predicament of humanity. And China’s holistic logic will inevitably be seen as humanity’s most important asset in trying to manage the world out of its predicament. But we should always remain grounded in the reality that the degradation of the habitat of life is already very advanced which implies that there is no guarantee any longer that managing the world out of its predicament will be successful. But this should not limit the urgency, for an “abstract system of holistic logic”, to counter the hegemony of mathematics and science !
The book 4, of the metaholistic series, is an essay at formalizing the archetypal “system of abstract holistic logic” in the present context of Western atomistic hegemony. Metaholistics is the outcome of this formalization. It is intended as an open source contribution to humanity’s urgent need to counter-balance the “abstract system of atomistic logic” that is so widely known under the appellation of mathematics.
Book 1“The Interactive Continuum of the Cultural Field of Societies” and book 2 “The societal cultural field shapes the contemporary“, provide the metaphysical background, from which were derived the axioms and the concepts upon which rests the formalization of the metaholistic framework that is described in books 3 and 4. These axioms and concepts were induced by an intuitive holistic approach of societal evolution which originated in a lifelong independent research rooted in a strict application of logic. But this implies that some of these concepts are still not recognized by an academy that has no tolerance for any research dabbling outside of atomistic logic.
After terminating the first draft, of book 2, I started an in-depth conversation with 4 AI platforms about Ontology, Epistemology, metaphysics and “abstract systems of societal logic”. These platforms are Perplexity AI, Chat mistral AI, Deepseek AI and Qwen AI. These conversations are transcribed in the first part of the book 3 of the metaholistic series.
My 6th question to these AI platforms was “What is the path from a holistic axiomatic foundation to an abstract system of holistic logic”. In its response Perplexity AI proposed me to formalize my axioms into an abstract system of holistic logic. I decided to give it a try and got hooked in a full-time intellectual adventure. The 2nd part of book 03 recounts our conversations about writing this formalization while book 04 is the mature version of the process described in Book 3.
I personally wrote book 1 and 2 while the abstract formalization, of the metaholistic framework in book 4, was rewritten 4 times by Perplexity AI following my clarifications in successive corrective notes about its foundational axioms and concepts.
