Pondering my last post, I thought it’d be fun to outline a possible approach to “locate” a line in the Lower Right for instance.  As Pelle said:

“All of the UL lines of development have UR correlates”

So given the nature of the Four Quadrants there should be correlates in the lower quads as well, except the complexity there might be even more staggering than in the UR, rendering identification that much more difficult. But what the heck, let’s give it a shot anyway, huh?

So I might venture a scenario to see if I’m on the right track.  Mathematics, for instance would probably have some form going way back to magenta/purple or whenever counting began. Mathematics, however, wouldn’t be any actual line in any quadrant, but more so the holon of interest that is tetra-arising. So would the following assertions hold true?

1. Cognition would be the UL line associated with mathematics (unless theres a “math” line in there also(?)).
2. In the UR, we can easily imagine that whatever part of the brain that does calculations “Biomathematically” would have a line there.

Now, i think since spoken language has its Lower-Right artefacts such as verbal and written words, which forms the foundation for a “language” line in the LR maybe?  Similarly mathematics could be plotted along the levels in a fashion much like this:

1. Red - Basic counting and written numbers - 1,2,3,4…
2. Amber / Blue - Algebra and simple formulas that allow for accounting for instance. 2+2=4, 2-x=-1
3. Orange - Scientific math.  Pythagoras and all those Greek guys up to Newton and calculus and further (experts please chime in if you’re out there).  Allowing for explosions in areas as architecture, investing, astronomy, chemistry, electronics, etc. - insert calc equation.
4. Green - Gets fuzzy for me here. I’ll guess at Einstein with relativity, but then again maybe he was Turquoise or something, and Newton was teal… Clearly we need an integral mathematician to clear up this area–which i’m not…- E=mc^2

But hopefully from this we could agree that there is a likelihood of distinct stages. And all of them have a core “language” or formula structure.  So there is, for lack of a better word, a “socio-mathematical” line in the LR!

As for the LL, well we all know what unkempt-bearded and pocket-protector crowd do on saturday nights (sorry, I admit i’ve worked on algorithms and prime number theories when girls weren’t around before).  But then again, the internal experience of a mathematically expressible revelation is a beautiful thing, so who can blame em?

Whew! Thoughts?
