It wasapparently written by a consortium of peace-movement intellectuals, including John Ken-neth Galbraith, who makes a similar point in Money. The key sentence from this report, was“War … is itself the principal basis of organization on which all modern societies are con-structed.” And so if we could ever learn to live in love and peace with each other, radical po-litical and economic changes would be needed.

At the time of my life-changing eureka moment, I was at map reference TQ228729 in theco-ordinates of the rectangular grid developed by the Ordnance Survey in Great Britain, es-tablished in 1791. This position, which is close to the Tangier war memorial, is 51° 26' 30"N, 0° 15' 0" W to within about five seconds of angular measure. I proposed to my secondwife Berit from Norway on this spot on Good Friday 1986.

It seems that by this time I was no longerkeeping my concerns about the psychological and economic issues of society’s growing de-pendency on information technology a complete secret. I must have mentioned my concernsto someone I could trust, but whose name I forget now.

I was required to learn Keat’s poem by heart as a teenager, something that I wasvery reluctant to do. Nevertheless, there was something about these words that resonated verydeeply within me. It was only in the early 1980s that their full meaning became clear as theresult of my own epiphany.

He explained what was re-garded as strange behaviour with his much-quoted statement about knowledge andinformation, followed by “When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do isto know what books have treated of it. This leads us to look at catalogues, and at the backs ofbooks in libraries.” In today’s Information Age, we call such a rational approach to informa-tion management library or information science.

In Book II of The Harmony of the World,

called ‘On the Congruence of Harmonic Figures’, Kepler made some major advances in puremathematics in just 31 pages, which were incidental to his main purpose. “For [as he ex-plained], since we have taken it upon ourselves to explain the origin of Harmony and its mostpowerful effects in the World as a whole, how could we omit to mention congruence of fig-ures which are the well-springs of Harmonic proportions.” (p. 97) He thereby systematicallystudied all the possible ways in which plane figures could form congruences at a point, eitherin the plane or in space, the principal ideas of which he had worked out in the summermonths of 1599, twenty years earlier.

many other minorities they don’t like being called by these traditional names. This is not sur-prising because the word Lapp seems to be related to the Middle High German word lappe,meaning ‘simpleton’. Nevertheless, the northernmost province (landskap) in Sweden is stillcalled Lappland today.

34. (p. 198) Bohm, Implicate Order, p. 118–119. 35. (p. 198) In A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking says this (p. 162): “String the-

ories … seem to be consistent only if space-time has either ten or twenty-six dimensions, in-stead of the usual four”. However, in The Elegant Universe, Brian Greene has opted for justten dimensions: “For string theory to make sense, the universe should have nine space dimen-sions and one time dimension, for a total of ten dimensions.” (p. 203).

36. (p. 199) I discovered the SPINES thesaurus while I was working on a new manage-ment accounting system for the Kuwait Institute of Scientific Research (KISR) in 1982.

37. (p. 199) To manage such a complexity of terms, it is much easier to use a general-purpose thesaurus administrator. In the 1990s, one such program was the IBM Thesaurus Ad-ministrator/2, which did not restrict hierarchical relationships just to broader and narrowerterms, but was able to accommodate any type of hierarchical relationship. This program nolonger exists, but maybe a similar one could provide some ideas on how to develop a comput-er tool to help those wishing to learn IRL.

los = whole, with the suffix on which, as in proton or neutron, suggests a particle or part.” (p.48.) Actually, Koestler uses the word holarchy very little in this book, because he was con-cerned with creating too many neologisms. It was only in Janus that he began to use the wordmore frequently.

42. (p. 201) In Janus, Koestler said, “every holon is possessed of two opposite tendenciesof potentials: an integrative tendency to function as part of the larger whole, and a self-assertivetendency to preserve its individual autonomy.” (p. 57.) However, this property of holons onlyapplies in aggregation and associative structures, whether they be biological, social, or what-ever, not in generalization ones.

man Nature were investigated by Karl Popper in Objective Knowledge (p. 4f), which led Pop-per to develop his falsification theory of scientific knowledge. This was criticized, in turn, byChalmers in What is this Thing Called Science? because observation statements are theory de-pendent and so could themselves be false. Chalmers then went on to resolve this weakness of

the falsification theory by saying that scientific theories need to be looked at as structures,along the lines of Thomas Kuhn and Imre Lakatos. However, what he neglected to say is thatsuch structured wholes need to be completely free of built-in assumptions, what Lakatoscalled the ‘hard-core’ of a scientific paradigm.

made this famous remark in 1981. However, in an interview broadcast on BBC television in1994, he emphasized his rejection of the notion of morphogenetic fields by saying: “Sheldrakeis putting forward magic instead of science, and that can be condemned in exactly the lan-guage that the Pope used to condemn Galileo, and for the same reason. It is heresy.” Not sur-prisingly, Rupert calls Maddox his “longest-standing critic” (see http://www.sheldrake.org/controversies/).

June 1980, just five weeks after I sat down to develop a synthesis of everything. It was the mosteerie of feelings. On the one hand, I knew that I had found a statement about the Universethat was of the utmost profundity. Yet, at the same time, I didn’t then have the consciousnessnecessary to understand the full implications of this statement to its greatest depth. It has tak-en me most of the intervening years to discover its full meaning.

attitudes in the world in a current affairs lesson as school when I was seventeen. The teacherwho showed us this diagram was, of course, a member of what was then called the Liberalparty, from the Latin liberare, ‘to free’, from liber, ‘free’. It is interesting to note that conserv-ative politicians in the USA, who talk so much about freedom, regard liberalism as a deroga-tory term.

the whole of mathematics on logic. In 1879, he published a short book called Begriffsschrift,usually translated as concept writing or concept notation. The full title of the book identifies itas “a formula language, modelled on that of arithmetic, of pure thought.” This book was to

pave the way for first-order logic, also called first-order predicate logic. However, in 1902,Bertrand Russell wrote a famous letter to Frege pointing out that there are paradoxes in settheory and that this whole enterprise was doomed to failure. Russell was truly amazed atFrege’s humble reply:

As I think about acts of integrity and grace, I realise that there is not anything in my knowledge tocompare to Frege’s dedication to truth. His entire life’s work was on the verge of completion, much ofhis work had been ignored to the benefit of men infinitely less capable, his second volume was about tobe published, and upon finding that his fundamental assumption was in error, he responded withintellectual pleasure clearly submerging any feelings of personal disappointment.

magundi. A visiting foreigner, ‘Mustapha Rub-a-dub Keli Khan’, ironically describes it assuch, by which he means that via the tricky use of words, one can have power over others(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logocracy).

4. In an article called ‘Ming the Mechanic, Flemming Funch defines holocracy as “thetotal system of whole things in nature, the original whole which is made up of the smallerwhole parts”, somewhat different from the Divine meaning of Wholeness.
