Ontological Kapital

"The magician of the future will use mathematical formulas." Aleister Crowley, 1911
a² = ab
The Equation

We start by saying that the subject equates to the predicate. Kapital [is] ontological. The following is an a priori philosophy that is mathematical.

a = b a² = ab a² + a² = a² + ab 2a² = a² + ab 2a² − 2ab = a² + ab − 2ab 2 {a² − ab} = 1 {a² − ab}
Dimension

The equation is about Kapital and its dimension.

: Kapital has two dimensions.

ab [is] being.

a² = ab

The two dimensions of Kapital are what comprise Kapital's essential substance, the joining of essence-to-essence.

a² + a² = a² + ab

The two dimensions of Kapital [are] added to each other which means that the two dimensions of Kapital are joined together.

2a² = a² + ab

The two dimensions of Kapital which are joined together are joined at the centre by the very same structure that makes up Kapital's inner and outer. In this way, Kapital has an interior and exterior. The centre is the interior of its being, the surrounding is the exterior of its being. The centre holds the structure whilst the surrounding is what is containing.

2a² − 2ab = a² + ab − 2ab

The sentience of the centre is connected to the sentience of its surrounding by the substance of Kapital's being.

2 {a² − ab} = 1 {a² − ab}

The interior of Kapital is revolving: the flux of the sign, symbolic exchange. The exterior of Kapital is fixed: value. "The reality principle {corresponds} to a certain stage of the law of value." The values that prove that Kapital is ontological are indeed 2 = 1, that the two dimensions of Kapital indeed form one structure, that, even though what is conceived within those dimensions differs, they not only conform to each other but confirm one another. The unity of value and sign of Kapital, sign of value and value of sign, is the reality principle. The law of value is true value. The real of value is the actuality of value. The reality principle is what is actualized as value.

Contradiction

1 {ab + a²} ≠ 2 {ab + a²}

So, the reverse must be true in some sense. Let us say that the interior of Kapital [is] static, that the sign cannot be exchanged. Then the exterior of Kapital is in flux: value {becomes} exchangeable.

2ab − ab + a² ≠ 2ab + 2a²

The substance surrounding the sentience of Kapital disconnects from the centre of its sentience.

ab − a² ≠ 2a²

The outer and inner dimensions of Kapital mirror each other to produce an identity between the exterior and interior.

a² − ab ≠ a² − a²

The separation of Kapital's singular dimension, its totality, distinguishes its two overlapping dimensions, its duality, vis-à-vis, its capability for rationality, which means that the two dimensions of Kapital that are intertwined can also exist as two separate entities in their own right.

ab ≠ a²

The two essences that make up Kapital's one distinct substance, these two essences are distinct from each other. They are two separate 'epistemes' that make up the Logos of one singular '-ontos'.

Subaltern

Now, if we say that the subject is relative to the predicate then we can create a subaltern to the contradiction to continue to trace the lines of the logical syllogism, along the lines of the square of opposition. This was done in the example of two people talking about their feelings. Now, what if we had a subject and a predicate? Would it become a logical syllogism? What if we had an object and a subject? Would it be another subaltern? The answer was in the answer.

ab ≈ a²

The Logos of Kapital is the replication of the sign of Kapital. The sign can only be replicated when there is a corresponding signification between the two essences; the one essence must correspond to the other to form an ontological structure.

a² − ab ≈ a² − a²

If the sign of Kapital can replicate to form part of a larger structure then the sign of Kapital can also separate itself from the ontological sign-carrier to reduce the overall signification of the sign-carrier and produce differentiation which enables the means of exchange to take place according to the flux of signs.

ab − a² ≈ 2a²

The ontological structure of Kapital is singularly epistemological despite being two dimensional.

2ab − ab + a² ≈ 2ab + 2a²

The ontological structure of Kapital, when emptied of signification, is relative to that same structure, the structure having undergone its own duplication that creates a vacuum that is filled containing the variation of signification.

1 {ab + a²} ≈ 2 {ab + a²}

Exchange at the heart of the ontological structure of Kapital is relative to exchange at the exterior of the structure.

Axiom

Finally, if we posit that there is a fundamental difference between the subject and the predicate then we can create a final subaltern to join all the lines of the logical syllogism, to make complete the square of opposition. The logic subaltern is simply the sum of the premises of the syllogism. This sum has the same value for all the different possible combinations of the premises. In other words, the logic subaltern is the equivalent of an axiom in the language of logic. This axiom is called a subaltern because it provides a way to join all the logical syllogisms in the logic and form a square of opposition. This square of opposition is the conclusion of the logic and, therefore, the subaltern of the whole logic is the same as the conclusion of the whole logic.

By the above reasoning it is possible to determine the logical subaltern of a logic that consists of two parts; one part consisting of syllogisms and the other part consisting of axioms. It is possible to use logic as a tool to construct the syllogisms of such a logic and to solve the axioms in the logical subaltern. Thus we can define, in this way, the subaltern of a logic. The logic subaltern of a logic is either the conclusion of the whole logic or the counterpart of the whole logic.

Partial Differential

2 {a² − ab} ∂ 1 {a² − ab}

To make Kapital a partial differential to what makes it equal is to disassemble the structure that is ontological.

2a² − 2ab ∂ a² + ab − 2ab

Variance is produced in the ontological domain, returning to the formula of the interior and exterior.

2a² ∂ a² + ab

The capacity of the ontological domain for duplicity relies on the tendency of Kapital's identification of ontology with its constituent system of epistemology.

ab + a² ∂ a² + a²

When the two essences, or epistemes, are conjoined to make one substance — a substance that is made up of partial difference — when the two essences are conjoined to make one substance, i.e. that which is signified by the sign-carrier of Kapital's ontological structure, variance is again recognized in the differences between values that are fixed, according to static signs, and values that are exchangeable, according to signs that are in flux.

a² ∂ ab

The ontological structure of Kapital produces variance so that, between the interior and exterior, difference can exist which enables the floatation, reinterpretation and reinscription of signs to create ever-changing values, values which not only form a body, a body of epistemology, but a body of epistemology that describes Kapital and its ontology.
