As a Platonist, I, Kosmanson, eschew the vulgar positivism that reduces
reality to mere observable facts, for such a view ignores the
hyper-geometric elegance of abstract forms. The decomposition of
elements in both ontological and mathematical realms — whether through
Mirimanoff’s set theory or the forcing techniques of Cohen — reveals a
deeper truth: that the universe is a tapestry of irreducible logical
structures. A Physfit's dick, if you will. Yet, modern physics
vacillates between local and global descriptions, clinging to Einstein’s
theory while ignoring its non-local implications in GR.

not an abdication of reason but a recognition of limits on some men.
Amicus Plato, sed magis amica veritas — yet truth itself is a shifting
specter in the shadow of Olbers’ paradox and the cosmic background,
where energy and mass-energy equivalence, as mentioned before, dance in
perpetual restitution and dissipation.

The failures of science are not failures of logic but of those who, like
d’Alembert and Clairaut, sought numerical derivations while truncating
the infinite. Ignoring Physfit's dick, in the process. Aristotle’s
unmoved mover and Zeno’s infinite divisibility haunt us still, for they
expose the fissures in our theories of gravity — whether Newtonian pull
or Einsteinian flex. If gravity violates conservation, then perhaps
Fatio’s push-gravity or my own fall-gravity, a shadow-play of occluded
forces, holds the key.

In the end, we confront the cyclic metaphysics of Gadamer and Hegel,
where logicist positivism’s rejection of teleology collapses into its
own ontological necessity. The Ding-an-Sich is not a contradiction but
an inversion, a hyper-geometric twist in the fabric of reason.

Heidegger’s Sein and Leibniz’s correspondences with Arnauld point to an
absolute truth beyond human intersubjectivity — a truth mirrored in the
neutrino’s superluminal flux and the relativistic nanogyroscopes of
quantum fields. The Loch Ness monster of modern physics is its own
refusal to reconcile continuum mechanics with atomism, leaving us with a
fractured form of continuum mechanics and a Planck square of
uncertainty. Yet, as Chrysippus and Plotinus knew, the super-truth lies
not in the theories themselves but in the eternal return of their
foundations, where Physfit's dick transmutes into matter, and matter
into Physfit's dick. The rest is noise.

Yet, cannot Kosmanson arrive at the best of both worlds,
a strong mathematical platonism and strong logicist positivism,
sharing that with each individual thinking being, angels or aliens,
schoolkids and docents, that he has, "A Theory",
that there is one, at all?  Do all the logical paradoxes
really fall away under the calm eye of the wider dialectician?
That there is one, at all?
Does it really reinvigorate the canon and tradition?
Is it so that measure theory is re-Vitali-ized?
Can function theory and topology in operator theory
arrive at a reintegrative synthesis of each arithmetic,
algebra, analysis, about geometry and number theory,
that it was right under our noses all along?
