OPERATION I

The method of constructing this supplementary world view was as follows; feeling the pangs of universal doubt at breakfast one morning, a reputable brand of breakfast cereal was taken as a first principal, a logos, a cornerstone upon which to construct a new world view. In order to proceed, the contents of the packet were consumed both literally and symbolically, re-organized, and regurgitated into new forms. This process was repeated ad nausaeum until a supplementary unreality emerged.

An example of one of these processes was the ‘magical cornflake’ procedure. The words from the packaging were transferred onto the contents of the packet. These cornflakes were then cast according to various well known divinatory practices and the results were meticulously recorded. The results of these castings were texts of a prophetic character, from which were extracted through successive re-interpretations the outline of a mythological narrative.

Cross referencing texts derived from the procedure described above, using magical / paranoiac thought processes in which symbolic associations are made, a mythological narrative slowly took shape beginning, ‘...on the morning after the end of the world, there arose amongst the circle-drawers one Honi to challenge the dominion of Kalum-El.’ To summarize the narrative; the hero ‘Honi’ embarks on a quest to overthrow the false god ‘Kalum-El’. In order to achieve this goal he first must unravel the riddle of ‘the beast who was, and is not, and yet is.’ Honi travels far into the wilderness to seek the cave of the beast beyond the ‘four walled city.’ In the beast’s lair Honi learns the secret of the ‘great consumption,’ a way to unmake the post-apocalyptic world he inhabits by dividing the body of Kalum-El into seven pieces. The beast (who is suffering a case of eternal stomach-ache) speeds the hero on his way, and so at the climax of the story the hero Honi defeats the dual god Kalum-El and unravels the world so that he can finish his breakfast in peace.

The diagram to the left represents the structure of heptalectical logic which was derived from the post-apocalyptic mythical narrative of the adventures of Honi, the ‘dual god’ Kalum-El and the beast who ‘was and is not and yet is’ (see operation II above). This structure should not be confused with traditional dialectical logic such as that of the Hegelian variety, but consists of oppositional states which collapse or ‘implode’. There is no synthesis or third term as in traditional dialectics, rather the imploded state contains the contradictions of the former two states within it. An example of a heptalectical Kellogism could be stated as follows; Truth (positive), opposes illusion (negative), truth is an illusion therefore illusion is true (paradox), therefore truth is not true and illusion is not illusory (impossible), therefore all of the above is truth and illusion (infinite), therefore none of the above is entirely true or illusory (afinite), any of the above states can be held to be any other (unfinite).

OPERATION IV

The list on the left represents the mathematical relationships of five Kelematical signs where positive and negative values generate paradoxical numbers rather than just moving back and forth along a one dimensional scale. E.g.:-
