This month CI will focus on the one science based issue left critically unresolved.  It has extensive relevance to non scientific events and situations also .. though that's never been terrifically apparent.   continues his efforts to unify the spheres of understanding and knowledge.

  After a prolonged absence - papers, essays and links are being updated. Your
  patience and continued interest is greatly appreciated.   Over 100,000 readers
  have now discovered the Ceptual Institute website since Jan 1998.   That is
  extraordinary for a 'philosophy' site.  The gratifying thing is that in-house
  reports show readership spanning from grade school youngsters to collegiate,
  graduate, post graduate, professional, business and general public readers. 
  Resonant chords, values, and meaning are being found in CI pages.

"Greeting the new, together"
             CI's millenium message ...  for everyone

  • MINDWAYS  -  Over 250 new listings have been added, split into easier to browse Series pages.  As always, my thanks to everyone who submitted suggestions and referrals. I hope
    you continue. New CI readers are encouraged as always to send recommendations also.
  • ISSS at ASILOMAR  -   "Entropy~Integrity"    "Old~New"     This past summer saw 2 Integrity paradigm papers presented at the International Society for the Systems Sciences conference. One details some new ideas about how integrated systems perform and where dynamics stem from. The other deals with comparing old ideas with new view points, especially the notion that our own skills at language arts are ready tools of self exploration.
            also:       "GAIA and the Ecological Self"
  • Also, an easier to read listings page.

    Organics and Ethics                Eco-Gnomics            The Eternal One, Blessed be He(h)
    Gaia Sense               Conversations with the Floor               TV Violence        

  • CONVERSING  -   The past year has seen me extremely active in several e-list discussion groups.  Many times I found myself unexpectedly expressing ideas about Integrity in new and unexpected ways. This in-site will post pieces of those conversations, so that you can experience them too.  As always, your reactions, opinions, and comments are welcomed. 

    Choosing the words to convey ceptual integrity ..          'Centrisms' . . . are what part of my life?
         A Laymans' Intro to Integrity       Inertia & Metaphors       Transformation        Conversation on 'design'
               with Tony Judge           Hostile to War 1           Hostile to War 2          Unfolding Spacetime     .     . . . .

    Being Evolution's "Design Tool"          Making Meaning - Resources
    Boundaries & Reductionism            Crude Look at the Whole

  • DIALOGUES  -  Egroups, e-lists, e-journals, note worthy information and news websites.
  • GENRE  - Many new names will be added.  I've had the honor and pleasure of making the acquaintance of so many wonderful writers, thinkers and accomplishers - both in person and on line during the past months.  I know you'll find their ideas as facinating as I have.
            Papers by:    ~ Wm. Dockens,  Pille Bunnel,  Douglas Adams,  Bruce Buchanan  ~
                                  ~ "AutoDidactics" by VAKourinsky  
  • EXHIBITS   -  finally !!  The 1996 TUCSON II - "Towards a Theory of Consciousness"  hands-on integrity paradigm exhibits are detailed online. The full texts are now up, with several diagrams to go along.  Since CI isn't set up to do Virtual Reality feedback you're going to have to imagine them as if you were there in 1996 or, if you have the gumption, go get the items I describe and experience them first hand for yourself.  Believe me, it's worth the effort.  The feelings of 'ahaaa!' will indelibly transfix you and you'll begin to appreciate the exquisite elegance of the integrity paradigm ideas - fundamentals of all you know.  It's more fun than you can imagine!
  • GLOSSARY  - new definition added.  Tropic Manifolds

  • In addition, a new category will be added later soon ..."Conversations"... which will give you hyperlinks/url's to a variety of groups engaged in important preparations creating Sentient Futures.  On community scales, transnational scales, on Gaian, political, economic, educational, technologic, artistic-creative, spiritual, and scientific scales, there is a human-wide effort to come to terms with who we are as companions in all these types of integrations -- where we are going and how we can best accomplish our dreams and growth.     There are no sure answers, even as there are preferences which we all bring to the effort.   The only way to accomplish the future is to participate in conversations, airing all concerns and listening to what ideas our neighbors and world companions have.   These Conversations are already in progress.  Read in.  Gleen insights.  Consider adding your thoughts.  But carry this charge of responsibility with you:  you must always try to figure some new way of accomplishing your goals and other goals at the same time.  You are "presenter", "listener/considerer" and "mediator" wrapped all into one person.   Each of you are.   We can no longer tolerate "king of the hill" or "last person standing" mentality.  There is no value, there is no future, when all that remains is one lone "ego".   Isolation is desolation is death  -- absolute and final.  And you can apply that to any scale or arena of activity you wish... ecology, the arts, economics, et-al.   Survival and advancement require diversity and interaction and opportunity.
