Formulating the nature of things is one of the oldest subjects addressed in the world and all over the world, because ancient peoples were high-intellect enough to be aware of the issue. To me it’s about resolving indefinite- -dynamic theory potentialities into best effort coherent, true-to-life sense. Ancient Athens addressed the issue. Plato settled on a formulation- -system. It took hold in much of the Western world. It was informed by intellect of the primal senses premises and his ideas about matter as “the four elements”. So he had to theorize Father Supernatural, emanating life and consciousness to matter. Today we are aware of quantum dynamics as a tension of ‘forces’. This tension expresses in the macro world as life and consciousness. This then generated the problem that Father Supernatural and Mother Nature did not cohere. It never made satisfactory sense to specialists as a coherent, true to life system. So, they kept writing for 2,400 years. E-PS emerged informed by high intellect and modern ideas about matter: Effect, through featuring indefinite- -dynamic ‘forces’; one emerges through- -as tension of featuring ‘forces’. So it is quite a contrast to Plato’s categoricalism…. and a coherent, true-to-life world can be shown to develop from that principle … or law of Nature … an indefinite- -dynamic world. For the uninitiated I believe E-PS would serve as a rigorous frame of reference with which to engage with the thoughts of Buddha, Plato and Oriental Sage Wisdom, etc. and to test how coherent and true-to-life the system featuring in your culture is. If one is impacted by a system without a frame of reference, it is likely to imprint. As children in the home and as young adults in ‘the academy’, this happens. Many never transcend it. However, now such transcending is done and is presented here. Socrates: "The unexamined life is not worth living". Also, through E-PS, convolutions in Physics are corrected!

Effectuationism (Jan. 2024 ed.) This edition includes the philosophy system: “Effectuationism” (E-PS), which gets Philosophy out of a “Plato’s Cave” muddle of universally identifiable, definite, static forms to a formulation of a multi-faceted, indefinite- -dynamic, coherent world. Trust me it was not easy for this transcendence to effect. This radical and profound breakthrough informed my engagement with many other muddles, including in Physics. From earlier editions, it includes alternative theories to: Special Relativity and General Relativity. This edition contains new material on: Emergence of Atoms … which changed the Vacuum The Vacuum Resolving the Gravity Muddle … a new modelling Cosmic Acceleration … a formidable theory of probable cause From earlier editions: Monetary and Trade Theory So, it is a very comprehensive formulation of the nature of things. Do not be put off by its volume - good sense is compactly expressed. Great tomes are inclined to be largely devoid of rigorous originality or else are very convoluted and are good for memory development but bad for higher intellect exertion. It is concise, profound and radically original and addresses much of, to use a phrase from Plotinus, “the nature of things”. It resolves many muddles! Peter Kinane ISBN: 978-0-9954548-5-9
