This short treatise is a guide to insights on two- and three-valued logic. More importantly, it introduces the associated coherent systeme of Nathan Coppedge, inventor of the coherent categorical deduction, and philosophical paroxysm or double-paradox. The book is designed to yield insights into objective knowledge, non-causal inference, and coherent systems.

A religious movement based on the concept of opposition to pain and pursuit of the meaningful life. This text collects numerous short-length writings related to the first spiritual movement devoted to aesthetic meaning. These doctrines describe the nature of knowledge, evolution, philosophy, and its unique ethos all from the vantage point of its founder, Nathan Coppedge.

Nathan Coppedge has been called 'a philosopher of this present age'. Historian Ulrich de Balbian describes him as one of the "people of ideas". In this brief treatise, knowledge is broached through the lens of twenty-four compound paradoxes. These writings are a mixture of: theory, metaphysics, ethics, systemology. Solutions are proposed to a line of paradoxes which lead to the paradox of essence and cause. Finally, a kind of solution to essence and cause is provided. Also included in the Second Edition are the first two sections of a work by the author called 'The Problems'. The first section of that later piece includes 'Problems Encountered in Nathan Coppedge's Philosophy.' The second section of 'The Problems' applies to mathematical situations as well as problems in general. Also added to this edition is a description of Coppedge's general solution to all paradoxes, presented with its single exception.

THE INTRODUCTION SAYS: Though in the name of acceptance some may say everyone has an aesthetic in a false gesture of inclusivism, this is indeed a critical source of knowledge.

Updated with new sections on Grand Evolution, the Primate Cycle, and Technology Evolutions. A truly great work in dimensional biology starting out with a brilliant proof of social evolution, this text also includes descriptions of a variety of models (social, linear, pseudo-linear, coherent, and technological), and numerous aspects of social and technical evolution, and finishes with a section on ostensible posthumanism. More original than erudite, it includes deceptively simple equations which advance the thesis that evolution may exist in higher dimensions, and intellectual discovery is interactivist. Highly original (though mercifully short, considering its complexity), also introduced are the widely recognized equation for species extinction and formulas estimating the number of dominant species to survive.

An optimistic philosophy granting powers to the critical faculty...Thoughts can have the properties of nature as a way of tasting nature...Metaphysical possibility exists in at least two senses...The view held roughly by Elias Canetti, Novalis, Lichtenberg, Alexius Meinong, Quentin Meillassoux, and Nathan Coppedge.

Nathan Coppedge, previously the author of The Dimensional Psychologist's Toolkit and Nathan Coppedge's Perpetual Motion Machine Designs & Theory, here presents a variety of unique graphic symbols and archetypes.The primary graphic listings are preceded by a short textual listing, which is being periodically updated to include the very best and most select objects, persons, and ideas.

Coppedge considers what is missing from a common sense idea of government by interpreting the first two books of Paine's Common Sense for figments of an underlying technocratic idea. Weaving in glimpses of technical jargon from his own coherentist philosophy, he addresses an idea of modular government which accepts economic and technological success and the meaningful interests of its citizens as the standard of progress, both for the citizen, and for the governments role as a corporation of citizens. The result is democratic and poetic, and also futuristic. It is both political philosophy and an idea of philosophy's ultimate importance.

This guide is intended to provide some useful insights into the nature of alien communication / communicating with extra-terrestrials. The book includes a number of humorously-minded illustrations to encourage creative thinking. FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "By the end of this guide you should have a better idea of what it means to communicate with an extra-terrestrial. Although there are some intrinsic fears, the guide offers the same approach which is likely to be encountered on the path to genuine communication, namely a work-intensive technique, following the mantra of: 'Just add it to the pile.' This technique might combine with other techniques to benefit long-term knowledge." The book is inspired by a dream in which an alien thought of a handbook.

Before he even started his great History of Philosophy, and before he got far in his coherence project, Nathan Coppedge began collecting notes in special piles, on many eclectic subjects. These are not mere notes, these are references to a deeper meaning which lies underneath. Sometimes faintly mathematical, sometimes emotional, and with an occasional dollop of category theory, Nathan's valuable and insightful notes on many subjects, noted for their strange 'alienness' when compared to average insights, piled up over the years reaching book-length volume by the early 2020s

FROM THE INTRODUCTION This book comes as an offshoot of my earlier book, Basic Platonism, which explains Platonic concepts largely in terms of snatches of an imagined dialogue with figures on their voyage through and beyond the caves of pretended knowledge. In this text, I address what may be called the tacit ideas of Platonism, the themes which according to Plato's intelligence remain unquestionable, and thus, the theories that are most wise to Plato's sense of himself and of nature. The idea is not to move beyond certainty as he understood it: to appraise him as a truth-oriented disciple of Socrates, someone with great ideas and great critical faculties. The structure of Aristotle's work "The Categories" has been adopted loosely as the structure of this work, which seems appropriate since Aristotle was Plato's best student, and thus the one most apt to understand the implications of his work... [T]he object of this book is to summarize the gist of Plato's best ideas... sparing him from no critique, and offering a condensed version of what may be taken to be his most epochal themes, and those which most easily lend themselves to notes... I hope that this text is a joy to read...

Here is a very Avant-Garde, almost Metamodern, Alternate History take on what is important in Western culture. Each volume comes in four parts. In this history, which attempts arrogantly to explain what is important in a university, the sections are: 1) How To Build a 100-Dimensional Universe, 2) Delineation of Math Education, 3) How To Be Smart, and last but not least, 4) Socrates On Ethics by Coppedge. The longest section is How To Be Smart, which includes sections on Calculus, Medicine, Physics, and other subjects, from the standpoint of a dimensionist philosopher. Worthwhile reading, in the author's opinion!

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Not long after publishing the complete genius of Nathan Larkin Coppedge I realized I had already almost unconsciously begun the complete ideas of the entire universe, as it used the same file for computation. However, the older version of the computation required some updates and clarification.After some work, I managed to complete in one degree the major ideas of the universe, which because it is a macro-set, includes ideas for 25 separate 'universes' or categories of technology (from my TOE)... I think you will be amazed, and perhaps a bit nostalgic and also perhaps inspired by lightning by these intimate and groundshaking notions which aim to compute for you the intellectual nature of the universe. Maybe this time my Dad won't be alarmed!

Coppedge, a member of the International Honor Society for Philosophers who Ulrich de Balbian describes as one of the "people of ideas", has put together a legendary collection of systems which has already exerted influence upon app designers, programmers, corporate executives, and economists. The attraction of coherence is many-sided, beginning with the idea of resolving long-standing problems from the history of philosophy, physics, and mathematics. But this text goes one great step further: it provides methods for psychic prediction, guessing the very questions people ask, finding absolute knowledge, and even knowing the core essence of any text simply by referring to the title. And that is just a handful: the book contains 256 systems with insight on topics ranging from calculus to Platonism. The greatness of this book, if taken seriously, is fathoms beyond where ordinary philosophers have already dared to tread. Included towards the end of the book is a transcription of two sets of valuable heuristics using the systems which may prove useful for A.I. and big data.

This is the epic critical history of coherence, a discipline Coppedge virtually founded on his own. This ostensible goal was to find a philosophical Theory of Everything, a goal which Nathan considers to have been completed on June 26, 2019. Other important waypoints on the quest include the Feb 2, 2013 discovery of objective knowledge, the Feb 3, 2014 discovery of a solution to all paradoxes, and the January 30, 2019 discovery of the Characteristica Universalis, a quest of the genius Leibniz, amongst many others.

Coppedge's successful guide to many aspects of intelligence, available in a new print edition. This writing follows a linear process making unbelievable feats possible, such as plumbing philosophy, learning mathematics, learning atheism, and the basics of written Chinese. An ambitious book, which makes new amazing achievements a tantalizing possibility. Coppedge is a philosopher, artist, inventor, and poet in some capacity, and member of the International Honor Society for Philosophers, and a frequent best-seller in numerous categories.

Just over 100 pages, this small and significant book combines knowledge and a high degree of selectivity, combined with insightful articles and primary descriptions to give the symbols nerd just what he or she needs: a dose of logic, meaning, and expert commentary, all from someone who has had a life-long passion for symbolism. In this volume, he explores the nature of symbolism, illustrating over 100 examples, including pagodas, fractals, birds of paradise, metaphysical systems, and many others selected for their symbolic importance.

From the Inside: This book was inspired by what I call the 'interface standard': A particular insight which followed from the understanding that given a large set of logics of the best quality, that as far as their logical value, in a technocratic age one could not do better than to call them an interface. SOME OF THESE IDEAS FOR INTERFACE INCLUDE FOR EXAMPLE THIS TYPE OF REASONING:

Coppedge has been called one of the "people of ideas" by historian Ulrich de Balbian. In this encyclopedia, coherent phenomenology plays a role as the "4th dimension of multi-dimensionalism." In this book, Coppedge addresses such themes as emotional meaning, intuitionism, existential mereology, always with a view towards the methods and perceptions which are most exemplary of phenomenology. The work crosses boundaries between philosophy and psychology, spirituality and life science, focusing on what is most vitally important to experience: what we need to understand, how we must feel, and in what ways we go about understanding and emotionalizing the universe.

A whirlwind tour through some of the advanced concepts of the categorical philosophy, this text introduces the concept of 'lotus diagrams' and gives six examples of the intensive use of quadratic diagrams to frame coherent concepts of objects, buildings, and life forms recursively. This is one of Nathan's earlier works on dimensionism, and covers material not included in either The Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit or the Ninesquare Notebook. The emphasis is on modules as a basis for categoric thought, and it uses a unique pictographic method to demonstrate an organized process.

During the years 2017 to 2019 or so, Nathan Coppedge the philosopher, artist, inventor, and poet composed some of his key works on the subject of rationality and on maintaining mental health. These span areas such as rational psychology, transcendentalism and intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, and mathematics. The writing is not particularly religious in character: he aims to disentangle some of the difficult and intractable problems of rationality, mainly through a method which is largely subliminal, yet rationally motivated, focused on developing human or posthuman significance. The author expresses his concepts in a manner that allows the words to be parsed and understood philosophically.

This text is popping with ideas, with noteworthy contributions from some of Nathan's best work up to 2022. Coppedge is a philosopher, artist, inventor, and poet, and this short though not absurdly short treatise showcases his talent in a manner that is flattering and engrossing. Nathan's unique emotional approach combined aspects of phenomenological (emotional) philosophy, with that special punch of additional acerbity and genius which Nathan's readers love. Though physically slim, the contents of this tome are noteworthy, and it is more like a grand magnum opus worth re-reading than an effortless attempt at charm.

The author describes a series of themes binding the concept of semantics to that of metaphysics. The themes are light on mere academicism, and heavy on philosophical phenomena. The difficulty is that semantics is a heavy theme with light treatment. Metaphysics, when it does not adopt heavy assumptions, remains a heavy theme in which major conclusions are (predominately in intellectual history) a rarity. The author makes an effort to solve this double-conundrum in a conversational style, by introducing a series of themes, including "Dimentia," "Realism," "Dreams," "Knowledge / Death," "Madness," "Filling in the Gaps," "The Pigeon-Holed Straw Man" etc. Included are a number of brilliant arguments defending the idea that semantics is intrinsic to our concept of reality. This text offers a gradual resolution of the perceived problem between semantics and reality.

Coherent Theories of Macrobiology (updated edition): This deeply metaphorical work is the first to give hints of common themes of evolution between earthly and Xenoid phenotypes, to provide general methods of logic for interpreting the genome, and (in the appendix) to deconstruct chemistry into consistent properties affecting neurology and body composition. As ambitious as this work is, the author admits that it is a work of philosophy and not hard science. This is a highly original foray into the field of dimensional biology, a field which the author himself virtually invented. This is the third volume of the Dimensional Encyclopedia. Previous volumes reflect philosophy and psychology.

Previously not available as an unabridged edition, this text is now extensively updated to over 800 pages, and very likely the most comprehensive work on the history of philosophy around the world, and the only one of its kind, this writing gives extensive evidence of human thought throughout history. It bridges the gap in history of philosophy, to dispel the myth of a philosophical Dark Age. Coppedge has interpreted a multitude of philosophers using special techniques: there are systems and aphorisms by Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Protagoras and other Sophists, Zeno, Pyrrho, Epictetus, Locke, Kant, Novalis, Wittgenstein, Chinese and Indian philosophers, and numerous others. A significant part of the work is dedicated to highly contemporary philosophy, particularly works by Nathan Coppedge. Dedicated to technicalism and usefulness, this meta-modern approach to philosophy, will dazzle with its combination literary intelligence and profundity.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Advice comes in many forms, but that is not to say that it cannot be classified. Over the years, of all the practical advice I have received, the most appealing were those that conveyed a symbolic message. Needless to say, examples of this specific type were scarce. I almost felt like I needed to hallucinate to see any fragment of a system within the advice I was receiving. I looked for logic, and found materials. I looked for leitmotifs, and found grunge and working processes. All in all it was very unsatisfying, until I found some common connections amongst the different types of advice. This book expresses the knowledge, both abstract and practical, that came out of that discovery.

This is a very cool project culminating from years of genius research on the nature of hyper-dimensions. The goal of the project came about through a gradual accretion of highly perfected category structures, each representing, at least metaphorically, one whole dimensional slot in reality, much like our current three-and-a-halfth dimension. The goal of the book was to assemble a categorical typology for each dimension, up to the largest n-th dimension I could find. As you might predict, I eventually left gaps within the system, but given the rigor of my research, I was able (not lazily), to adopt one perfect typology for each one of the first SIXTEEN dimensions, six full dimensions beyond what some believe is even mathematically conceivable! But since my system is somewhat avant-garde and un-traditional (yet logically coherent), I find no problem with introducing additional complex dimensionality. In fact, I have included a sampling of even higher dimensions than the sixteenth, as found within several previous projects (...64th, 78th, 100th). The updated version of the book also includes four miscellaneous theories about the natural of reality. Putting this material together without my knowledge of dimensionalism would have been an exhausting task. (I am also previously the author of other books on related topics, including books on philosophical coherence such as The Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit, Coherent Systems Theory, and Coherent Logic). In many ways this text, by drawing on so many of the separate complete and incomplete projects, surpasses them all!---Nathan Coppedge August 2nd 2015, New Haven CT (updated later in August, 2015).

This text introduces the field of logical categorical exceptions. As the seventh volume of the Dimensional Encyclopedia, it archetypally explores the concepts of coherence vs. incoherence and many related fields, while extending previously introduced concepts such as the method of categorical deduction. Incoherence, the evil twin of coherence, has previously received treatment as a science, but rarely as a philosophy. Rather than a unified theory, it offers a compilation of many distinct types of exception.

Perhaps the most pioneering work in time travel, this edition has been updated with details of the notorious Cape Scott incident. The Dimensional Time Travel Toolkit portrays its subject as a mystery and also a possibility. Time-travel techniques are introduced, including methods of tricking the clock, metaphysical methods, and how to build a time machine, as well as perspectives and problems related to time travel study. One of the major goals of the writing is to provide a record of real-life time travel experiences.

Mr. Coppedge studied weapons and military history extensively during his younger years. Things ranging from falchions and pepper guns to nuclear submarines, tanks, and ICBMs. In this brief guide are offered a multitude of tactics and perspectives on the concept of psychic and tactical warfare, with the notional object of keeping the peace in a civil society. An extensive manual on psychological warfare and two lists of further readings are also provided.FROM THE INTRODUCTION: I mean to write this book with the perfection of a fossil... I stop short of calling human nature random. I have been an advocate of strong distinctions which waver on the divide... It has certainly not been my object to decrease the faith in human ingenuity, and it is this belief in ingenuity which acquires the most probable support for my rhetorically-minded angle on war
