1090 Section 6.2 is titled, “Hierarchogenesis and Its Stages During the General Evolution of the Universe”.  In this section, the author isolates fifteen beginnings (hierarchogenetic events) in the history of the universe.  The first six are “cosmic”, since they concern the universe to which we belong.  The next six are “substantive”, since they have to do with the stuff of life.  The last three are “questionable”, since they have to do with humans in our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder whether I can coin the word, “spiralogenesis”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1091 Or maybe, “stageogenesis”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each beginning serves as a platform for further spiralogenesis… er… hierarchogenesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, the selection of hierarchogenetic events is um… selective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, are the earliest galaxies, which I label “cosmic #6” or C6, “galaxies” in the same fashion as later galaxies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or are they the purest form of galaxy,<\/em> since they are initially composed of unspoiled H and He?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1092 The same goes for early and later stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the list of my selection of the author’s cosmic entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1093 Now, I want to travel the spiral for C1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start, I must wonder, “What is the goal of the universe?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, goal2c<\/sub> corresponds to the exemplar sign-object (SOe<\/sub>) along with the interventional sign-vehicle (SVi<\/sub>).  So, if SVi<\/sub> is the postulated Big Bang (the initiating event where the laws of physics for our particular universe pop out of a pinprick concentrated enough to contain the energy equivalent of the mass of the universe), then SOe<\/sub> has some explaining to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Er… I should rather say… someone may need to speculate on the nature of {SOe<\/sub>[conceptc<\/sup>]SVi<\/sub>}2c<\/sub> for the instance when SVi<\/sub> is the current postulation of the Big Bang in astrophysics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1094 That said, let me consider the interventional sign-relation in Frege’s triangle for this beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1095 I follow the formula for the bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A perspective-level Big Bang2c<\/sub> (SVi<\/sub>) stands for a content-level sign-object {(SOi<\/sub>)}2a<\/sub> on the basis of (something akin to) what is happening3a<\/sub> operating on the potential of ‘something’ happening’1a<\/sub> (SIi<\/sub>).  Plus, this SOi<\/sub> operates on the basis of imagery and similarity.  The entire sign-relation is an icon.  A message images a meaning.  A symbola<\/sup> pictures a conceptc<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1096 How do I get around the Frege’s corner 2a?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This corner corresponds to a real initiating (semiotic) event2a<\/sub>.  The roles of SOi<\/sub> and SVs<\/sub> differ within that actuality2a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm, maybe I need to go back to the interventional sign-relation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In C1, SVi<\/sub> acts as a universe-manifesting pinprick in an emptiness before the universe<\/em>.  If this is so, and if SOi<\/sub> is the intention of the expression2a<\/sub>,<\/em> then SOi<\/sub> is the manifestation of time, space, energy and law2a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the interventional sign-relation<\/em> for C1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1097 I am still trying to get around the lower-left corner, corresponding to the content-level actuality as a dyad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the category-based three-level interscope goes, the corner is the content-level actuality2a<\/sub> of a real initiating (semiotic) event2a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the embedded sign-relations go, the corner is the dyad, {SOi<\/sub>[symbola<\/sup>]SVs<\/sub>.}2a<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frege’s symbola<\/sup> corresponds to the message1<\/sub> that makes a spoken word2<\/sub> possible in the normal context of definition3<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1098 Here are my associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real initiating (semiotic) event2a<\/sub> consists of {the manifestation of time, space, energy and law (SOi<\/sub>) [symbola<\/sup>] the first 10-19<\/sup> seconds of the expansion of the universe (SVs<\/sub>)}2a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
