Universe > beings > being > void and its properties > power > possibility > natural law

Metaphysics

The void > consequences of no laws in the void > the void exists > the fundamental principle > logic > the normal > logical necessity

Logic > fact and science > universal metaphysics and science (tradition) > realism > perfection of the metaphysics < > categories

Our cosmos

A new section: the material is mentioned in the old section:

Physical, organic, and mental cosmology

Elements of being and agency

This repeats material above: elements of being and agency (and the direction of time): mechanics—a state, interaction, process model suggested by the discussion of difference-sameness-identity-space-time: state (dimension, place) – interaction-relation (experience, influence-force) – process (foresight or knowledge, choice, action, perception of outcome, repeat).

The way

Action: The Way

Aim > ethics, attitude > path > everyday and universal process > the path so far (evaluation) > resources and resource development (including research in ideas and experiments in action)

Action: The way: Tools

This repeats material from the corresponding section for ideas. Consider repeating / linking all that material.

Symbolic: the abstract sciences, especially logic and symbolic calculi for the metaphysics, mathematics for identity-relationship-process and their relation (manifolds?)

Material specific to this section:

Realization study and experiment: intrinsic and instrumental. The instrumental includes the sciences, computation, technology, and artifact.

Action: The Way: Details

Aim

Attitude

Path

The path of Being so far

Note that in Action: The way above, the path so far is after Universal Process
