Your proposed ontology of change provides a robust and comprehensive framework to categorize Kenneth Udut’s diverse interests. Here’s an attempt to place some of his key interests within this framework:
I. Fundamental Nature of Change
A. Change as intrinsic to being itself
– Kenneth’s interests in systems theory and ontology reflect this fundamental understanding of change.
C. Even continuity is sustained change
– His interest in neurodivergence and psychology could fit here, as mental and behavioral patterns demonstrate sustained change while maintaining an identity.
D. Change as perspectival
– His interests in art and music, which are strongly influenced by perspectives and interpretations, align with this point.
E. Renewal through destruction
– His interest in philosophy, which often grapples with cycles of creation and destruction, can be associated with this point.
II. Scales of Change
A. Quantum
– His interests in quantum physics and particle interactions fit in this category.
C. Molecular
– His study of chemistry, particularly looking at chemical reactions, falls under this category.
D. Macromolecular
– His exploration of genetics and epigenetics fits here.
E. Cellular
– His interest in biology and particularly cellular biology falls here.
G. Organismic
– His fascination with the human mind, neurodivergence, and psychology aligns with this scale of change.
III. Drivers of Change
A. Thermodynamics
– His interest in physics and the study of energy fits this category.
C. Self-organization
– His study of systems theory, particularly focusing on complex systems, fits here.
D. Feedback loops
– His interest in music, which often involves feedback loops of sound, rhythm, and harmony, fits this category.
IV. Theories of Change
A. Dialectics
– His philosophical leanings and interest in systems theory align with dialectical thinking.
B. Dynamical systems theory
– His interest in systems theory and complex systems fits here.
C. Chaos/complexity sciences
– His interest in physics, systems theory, and complex systems aligns with this point.
D. Evolutionary theory
– His interest in biology and the study of life’s evolution aligns with this point.
E. Relativity and quantum theories
– His interest in physics, particularly quantum mechanics and relativity, fits here.
V. Purpose and Direction
A. Self-organization
– His interest in systems theory and complex systems fits here.
C. Self-transcendence
– His exploration of spirituality, philosophy, and consciousness fits under this category.
VI. Implications of Change
A. Impermanence
– His philosophical leanings, particularly exploring the concepts of impermanence and change, align with this point.
B. Interconnectedness
– His interests in systems theory, complex systems, and ontology relate to this point.
D. Freedom and responsibility
– His interest in ethics and morality, as well as the study of human behavior, fits this category.
E. Adaptability and resilience
– His exploration of neurodivergence, psychology, and human behavior fits here.
F. Letting go of fixed identities
– His interest in psychology, particularly in the context of neurodivergence and the fluidity of identity, fits here.
G. Cultivation of wisdom
– His interest in philosophy and spirituality fits under this category.
I hope this categorization helps! Please let me know if you would like further clarification or exploration on any of these points.
