To: timbl@w3.org Subject: HTML Programming/Processing/Logic/World Systematization without any disruption to current paradigms Mr. Berners-Lee: It may seem odd to hear from a mediaeval philosopher regarding our new & complex system of computer analysis that defies even the best minds - never mind a neophyte like myself. But I think there is a long-range solution to the ever-expanding logical gnosis that is developing due to the exingencies of computer logic in a pluralistic world. For since there shall be both the future problems of mathematical chaos (i.e. due to ever weaving sets of interpentetrating codes) coupled with the babel-like tendencies of a new and speculative grammar (i.e. worldwide logical language and its denotational/connotational problems), I should think that we already have the means to govern such infelicities even as we efficiently instress the marvels of computer technology into the real world of analogous beings. And since simplicity is, relatively speaking, always the path to serendipity (which in the case of a worldwide system woulb be truly miraculous), why should we reinvent logical wheels that already revolve within the conscious scientia and subconscious tendencies of mankind? For just as the numbers 1-9 (ad infinitum potenter) are an established reality, and just as the Ten Commandments are likewise instressed with the orders of morality, man, specultive grammar and nature, so it is similarly felicitous that the logical & physical categories of analougous being and comprehension are also tenfold in nature. I am not referring simplistically to Aristotle's Categories: but to the 2500 years of categorical complicity which have formed the way human scientists and artificial agencies mutually compute in a relative simplicity that is proven "de facto" (even as we speak)! But wheresoever we find splendid differences of a specific nature, or generic gateways of order and prudence, there we shall ever meet upon the pristine properties of genius and the common accidents of our progressive humanity. Moreover, I will state without hesitation that the Categories are both functional and topical to the "nth degree" (while never doing violence to the hierarchy or analogue of being that metaphysically presents itself to futuristic minds with omnipresent logic). I mean ofcourse to say that anything whatsoever, insofar as it transcends the common capacity of the predicables or logical categories - whether such transcends in a logical way or divine mode - yet maintains some sort of analogous foothold within the epistemology of these timetested categories. As such, you may have metaphysically certain and absolute proof that the predicables and logic categories of real substance (whether properly or accidently understood) will always offer a sound and unrestrained environment for both artificial intelligience and scientia naturalis: and with a most noble regiment for philosophy at large and theology too. Behold an epiphany of logic that captures the intelligent eye like a heavenly hyperlink shrouded in hues of heuristic blue: aether fields of analogous intelligence written large with the timeless texts of sanity, unity, and love. Such are the Categories of the Logos, properly understood. Misunderstood, these same categories still carry an undercurrent of deterministic force that is not easily denied: unless perchance one has a perverse relationship in the order of chaos, per se. If such is the case, then still be assured that analogous order and logical wisdom will yet overcome the chaos as "being" itself continually overcomes its own privations simply by the fact that existence overcomes nothingness. For just as evil, whether moral or metaphysical, cannot exist except that it relate as a privation of the good (something which, being good, does "Per Se Exist" - or by "The Good One" is caused to exist), so too the only way that chaos can persist is by its own relational (and not-for-existing) quality: namely, to interact with logical truth and analogous beings only insofar as these truths and beings are disordered in their own hierachies of purpose and repose. Thus, the logical categories and predicables for all programming - the kind that precedes and supercedes all artificial technologies - are the only proper, fitting and sure instruments for a mature and logically purposeful world. And this ofcourse, when perfected, directs all functions to a pristine, pacifying state of essential existence: and away from that quasi-peace (or "Pax Romana") which will always dissipate into degenerate forms of chaos and violence. For it is right that imperfection should rebel against any form of forced perpetuity, even alas here on earth! Finally, I am aware that the world of technology has already matured beyond your circle's control. I am equally sure that this state of affairs pleases your circle precisely because it is the glory of man to pursue his own intellect and will (hopefully for the praise and adoration and glory of Almighty God). But it is precisely at this juncture that modern thinkers, namely your circle of philosophers and real technicians, should subject themselves somewhat to the overarching tutelage of Masters and Saints and Holy Docotrs from the past. For only a circle of jesters or sorcerers would recoil from wisdom's worldwide wheel of wonder. And save God and Jesus Christ himself, no one is capable of grasping it all - not even the highest hierarchies of Angels or Demons. But it is for the glory of manking that a man has existed here on earth - a man who, while being a miracle that's for sure, was yet always a scientist-philosopher and most human theologian. Living as he did at the dawn of the 13th century, he is marvelously centered between heaven and earth, between ancient and futurist, between man and machine (Yes, they did have certain prototypes even in the 13th century). And since he was the only man in the history of learning to have commented on every major discipline of philosophy and science, including the totality of old and new logic, he is the Universal Doctor par excellence for any experiment in the proper interpretation of world systems. At a time when ancient subjectivity was just beginning to part paths with ratiocinative objectivity - such that the first major chasm of world wisdom ruptured between the east and the west - Albert the Great was there to make notes on it all. He is said to have been the last man who knew everything... If your high level of influence is now flowing as they say for "optimal results" in the order of world engineering, then I strongly advise you to open a portal for influential discussion around the person and corpus of Albertus Magnus. You may catch a glimpse of our work at AlbertTheGreat.Com (quite an infantile website in technologic terms). But the Opera Omnia itself, still untranslated in latin, will revolutionize world thought for the Third Millenium. Perhaps you can speed it all up a bit with a wider forum in W3's Consortium...We would be categorically grateful for your analogous support! Scholastically yours, Albert J.
