The Tower: Remembering perfection

If 

• Reality is intelligible,

Then

• It must contain an ontological hierarchy of ideas.

If

• All ideas require the Good, but it requires reference to no others,

Then

• The Good is the sovereign first principle of intelligibility and, a fortiori, reality.

If

• The Good (also Monas Monadum) is the first principle of everything, and reality consists entirely of a plenum of monads, and

• Monads are the ultimate indivisible units of value-in-action which enter into complexes (or metasystems),

Then 

• All action, which occurs in integers of Planck’s constant, are relational transformations between monads; or, otherwise, moments of branching bifurcations in the more or less perfect actualization of the Good.

If 

• Value and other ideas have an absolute as well as a relative face,

Then

• Actions fall on a spectrum between perfectly moral and perfectly antimoral according to their effect on the actualization of possible perfection.

If

• All transformations of the kind described above can be described more or less perfectly in language, and

• A complete universal language is possible,

Then

• The discovery of these “nine billion names of God” corresponds to the unfolding of our quest for perfection.

If

• We can remember the entire characteristica universalis,

Then

• Our tower is complete.
