'principle'
Classical Etymology:
- Online Etymology Dictionary - principle.
- Barnhart's Dictionary of Etymology:
"principle n About 1380 princieple
law, rule, characteristic, basic assumption; also principlis
origin, source, beginning (about 1382); alteration with l
of Old French principe, learned borrowing from Latin principium
first part, beginning, origin (Plural principia first
principles, fundamentals, elements), from princeps (genitive
principis) first, chief, original; see PRINCE. The English
spelling with l apparently developed on the learned analogy
of such words as English participle, corresponding to
Latin participium.
"The extended meaning of basic rule, in the sense of right
action, uprightness, rectitude, is first recorded in 1653."
Quantum Etymology:
- Pirsigean etymology: Principle as quanton(DQ,SQ).
Principle as evolutionary recapitulation of a process of learning
and understanding.
- William James' etymology: Principle as adaptive and
mutable truthings' processings happening to ideas.
- G. R. S. Mead's etymology: "Principle rules something
not itself." We see here anticipation of Gödel's Incompleteness
Theorems whose bases reside in recapitulative self~referencings.
Compare classical S-SPoV
political notions of "Society rules something not itself."
- Chaldæan, Valentinian, and Peratæan etymologies:
of principle and symbol as process, evolutionary-dynamic-adaptive
process.
- Quantonic etymology: of principle as a quantum interrelationship
of principle and principle's quantum complement. By quantum~interrelationshipings
Doug intends animate, EIMA,
holographic and coobsfective ubiquitous and ephemeral quantal
nexi.

Classical principles are social patterns of value. Principles
are used to socially guide individuals according to social contracts
usually referred as 'laws,' 'rules,' 'canon,' and 'orthodoxy.'
Society uses principles to herd individuals.
You may see how this social pattern of value intrudes radically
upon individual rights.
Society assuages, classically, any concerns about this violation
of individual rights using notions of consensus, democracy, civility,
and society itself.
Using Pirsig's four levels of SQ Value, classical society
ranks them in this order, top down (AKA SIAB):
- society
- individual (Pirsig uses 'intellect' here...)
- inorganic (Doug has renamed this 'atomic-inorganic')
- biological
Pirsig says that ranking (see Doug's very detailed
and careful development of this fabulous Pirsigean meme here)
is what is wrong with modern culture, and that intellectual individuals
(society has no intellect, society cannot 'thingk') are more
highly evolved and evolving than society so Pirsig puts intellect
(Doug's individual) on top and society in second place. As such
we see society in a support role to individuals. Individuals
respect society as long as society doesn't attempt to trample
individual rights.
Classical 'principle' is borne of ancient Greco-Roman-Israeli
delusions of reality as a monism. Monism begs dialectic. Monism
begs stability. Monism begs either-or material, substantial,
formal, mechanical, objective dependence-independence. Monism
begs inept hylic-psychic state-ic 'design' thingking.
Those orthodoxies show why ancient gn¤stics claimed with
modica of con(m)fidence that "Monism is deceit!"
From that we offer a Quantonics
HotMeme™ "Classical principle is deceit."™
Quantonics HotMeme™.
In Quantonics, we agree with ancient Gn¤stics. Quantum
reality, our quantum~heuristics of quantum reality, agree with
ancient Gn¤stics and their ancient Gn¤sis!

tabularly compared to MoQ,
CR, and SOM.

Quantum reality, as interpreted heuristically by Doug, significantly
and subjectively agrees with Pirsig's novel and innovative hierarchy:
- individual (Pirsig uses 'intellect' here...)
- society
- biological
- inorganic
Quantum Gn¤sis begs our substitution of individual
for Pirsig's 'intellect.'
Individual~SP¤Vs are more highly evolved and evolving
than Social-SPoVs and perhaps (plausibly) even Social~SP¤Vs.
Quantum~prihncihplæ,
unlike classical 'principle,' evolves at up to Planck rates.
Prihncihplæ
is an agent of its own sælf~¤thær
changæ.
Quantum~prihncihplæ
is essential quantum~flux, n¤t classical stux. Where classical
'principle' is dead and already extinct, quantum~prihncihplæ
is living, livings, alive and emerging, growing, and evolving.
Thank you for reading,
Doug - 17Sep2007.
Do you get it? If n¤t, "What will you
do?" N¤t, 'What will we do?" Rather,
"What will you do?"
If you do n¤t get it and you believe
'we' can-will help, your bad, you are already
intellectually dead, extinct.
Doug.
(Classical society is an OSFA,
formal, monist, academic-anchor. Detach it. Unmoor sælf
from it and look carefully and deeply within sælf...)
