I consider completed concepts as anything that is completed in/onto itself. We can look at religion as a quick example, because a religion contains a completing feature, like a snake biting its own tail. With god as the creator, we do not need to explain the beginning, because that aspect is already taken care of.
Looking at the binary system, but also the decimal system, I also see completed concepts: they capture all, but all is captured only according to the specific concept. Religion may show aspects of being limited, but these mathematical systems show their limitations as well.
Nobody's non-existentialism is also a good example of a completed concept. Anything that we can experience can ultimately be brought back to a larger idea of non-existentialism. It is the point where some words have lost their meaning/their importance, such as the word to exist. We can find a stunning truth in non-existentialism, but only after accepting the premises.
In religion, if one does not accept the idea that god created the universe, the question quickly comes back to the forefront how the universe began. When not accepting the premise of non-existentialism, many questions come back to the forefront as well. Yet when accepting the premise, we can move on and do other hopefully more beneficial things.
The most important aspect to understand of completed concepts is according to me that they place themselves on top of other completed concepts. The Christians place themselves above Hindus, the Hindus place themselves above Christians (just to name two religious expressions). It is close to impossible to be Hindu and Christian at the same time, and a choice must be made to
a/ choose for one of them;
b/ choose for another religion;
c/ decide not to choose;
d/ decide not to choose.
C and D are not identical. One can decide to not make a decision because both are considered of such great value that one prefers to not undermine either one, or one can decide neither has any value and so a choice is not of any importance. Two people each making one of these two choices are two different people: one is very religious, the other is very much not interested in what these two religions have to offer.
It is always dangerous to end with a charged word, such as the truth. As far as I can tell, completed deliveries can be found in science, philosophy, religion, and possibly in various other aspects. They tend to overlap each other, move into each other's territory, but none of them in specific is the one and only completed delivery: only as a collective do the various concepts deliver the truth for a TOE.
Would this then also defy those words? Because, am I not writing a singular delivery here? I think I am not because concepts that are abstracts can be plural in nature, but they are experienced as singular. My delivery is then just an abstract with a pluriform delivery of completed concepts. Only the completed concepts combined (overlap and all) deliver the overall truth. The difference between a structure based on unification and a structure without unification hinges on the question if nothing is just plain nothing or if nothing is mighty fundamental. Read In Search of a Cyclops with titillating mathematical evidence (see homepage) to find out if separation belongs to the fundamental basics of our universe - or not. |
