RELATIONAL SYSTEMS is experientially grounded in the Perrenial Wisdom on the, at last, scientifically demonstrable holographic principle that the whole not only contains its parts, but also is "presenced in" (contained by) each part! On this foundation, it is intended to develop the implications of this holographic (all in each) experience (A Universe?). To accomplish this, however, there is required a transforming notional system which can convey this revolutionary reality because it is itself, the reality it conveys.

Yet, it is a matter of record that throughout history all human expressed RELATIONAL SYSTEMS are in and of a single explicit form, namely the INTERRELATION OF SYSTEM(SS). Recognizing that this form is insufficient for the above purposes, we have introduced the general presumption of the existence of four relational forms: The INTERRELATION OF SYSTEMS(SS), the INTERRELATION OF SYSTEMS AND RELATIONS(SR), the INTERRELATION OF RELATIONS(RR), and R(S) - NESS.

Logically, these four forms exhaust the number of possible categories which can be obtained by combining SYSTEMS and RELATIONS through RELATIONS. The second two of these forms have no explicit historical precedent and it is our creation and actualization of these forms which is the unique and radical departure point for a RELATIONAL (R)EVOLUTION. Hence, RELATIONAL SYSTEMS is founded mainly on the experiential recognition of the essentiality of RELATION, especially the INTERRELATION OF RELATIONS, a thesis which is in direct contrast to the historical and current emphasis on SYSTEM, particularly on things and thingness.

Finally, we should emphasize that this RELATIONAL (R)EVOLUTION is directed at the enhancement of AHA!

.R (S) - NESS IS.

in the RELATING (stating) of the Experientially Specific, i.e.

PERSONAL(ACTIONAL) EXPERIENCE IS THE EXISTENCE OF

RELATION(AL) SYSTEM (R(S))

and that the forms of the Notionally General, i.e.

BY PRESUMPTION, R(S) IS THE ESSENCE

OF EXISTENCE (NON-EXISTENCE) OTHER THAN PERSONAL,

are not themselves .R(S)-NESS. but the becoming of .R(S)-NESS.

Notional Presumptions

General Presumptions:

SS, SR, RR and R(S)NESS.

Specific Presumptions:

S (Subsumption), I (Image) and

IaR (Inter(actional)Relation)

Philosophical Assumptions:

EXISTENCE implies a Cosmos, i.e. SYSTEM-as-Whole (the RR form being necessary since a Whole is no-thing).

EXISTENCE (NON-EXISTENCE) implies a Cosmichaos, i.e. SYSTEM-as-Totality (the SS form is sufficient).

Experience is being as Cosmichaos becoming Cosmos.
