Prueitt wrote the draft Section 2 of Part I to introduction the notion of coherence, completeness and consistency. This section is to be edited to be consistent with Adi presentations. As we worked on the notational requirements it has been noticed that Section 2 should be deleted.
These notions of coherence, completeness and consistency are not explicitly evident in the way in which Adi experiences his understanding of the letter semantics. Adi and Prueitt agree; however that the letter semantics in Arabic are implicit in some way that can be examined objectively. Then the application of principles can be applied directly to the measurement of concept roots [1] as they appear in various types of language, not necessary written language.
The Adi structured ontology, as expressed in the existing software (since 1986), creates an explicit means to measure Islamic social discourse, and is thus of the greatest possible value to the American nation and to the world today. The viewpoint, however, is not the same viewpoint as is made explicit in other discourses, including scientific discourse regarding the nature of complex systems. In complex systems there are more than one ontological commitment, each of these having a different ground truth. It is our, the BCNGroup’s, claim that the set of ontological commitments must not be reduced to the same epistemology [2]. These commitments must be allowed to remain without the notion that one, and not the others, is the correct truth.
The BCNGroup founding committee’s experience leads us to notions that are grounded in connectionism and the thermodynamics of fluid systems far from equilibrium, and architectures defined by immunological and neural sciences.
In these systems there are state changes that are re-enforced in an adaptive learning process, and there are structural changes to categorization of sub-structure and function. These structural changes are called "evolution".
The role of coherence, completeness and consistency in the expression of constraints on the evolution of substructure and function is an essential role.
Stratification is essential, in our view, to a theoretical construction that can explain observed facts.
A different approach is in the description of how refined and mature observations have occurred as someone, with great familiarity over an object of investigation, creates a complete theory of the causes and natures of social discourse. In the case of understanding Islamic social discourse, or Christian social discourse, the power of community consensus is dominate over any multi-cultural viewpoint that might suggest that faith be private and not expressed as a demand on others to accept the one truth. There are good reasons for the belief in exclusion and the personal acceptance of obedience to the community consensus. These are to be discussed in the context of evolutionary psychology and social theory.
We ask that the community consensus be regarded as a description of what is known, i.e., an epistemology expressing form an underlying ontology. We accept the notion that ontology has many expressions as epistemology. These epistemologies often, but not always, demand coherence, consistency and completeness as a means to decide question of truth.
The importance of the Adi structural ontology cannot, therefore, be underestimated. This structural ontology might be examined because multiple epistemologies might be generated form the same set of underlying substructural invariances, the matrix Q.
At one point; however, one has to examine the process by which other social consensus are expressed in the natural language used by a community.
[1] In Readware, the concept roots are defined from the output of a word stemming parser identifying three consonants. Concept roots are defined in the generative methodology as the output of a generalized n-gram parser that first finds a center and then parses to the left and to the right to fill out a frame. The filled frame is defined to be an open set in a formal topology, of which the neighborhoods are subject matter indicators.
[2] We take “epistemology” to be a description of what is known by a community having a specific set of coherence viewpoints.
