Infinite-valued flexibility, degree orientations |
| 6. Static, finalistic 'allness'; finite number of characteristics
attitudes |
Dynamic non-allness; infinite number of characteristics attitudes |
| 7. By definition 'absolute sameness in "all" respects ('identity') |

| 9. Static absolutism |
Dynamic relativism |
| 10. By definition 'absolute emptiness', 'absolute space',
etc. |
Empirical fullness of electro-magnetic, gravitational, etc.,
fields |
| 11. By definition 'absolute time' |
Empirical space-time |
| 12. By definition 'absolute simultaneity' |
Empirical relative-simultaneity |
| 13. Additive ('and'), linear |
Functional, non-linear |
| 14. (3 + 1)-dimensional 'space' and 'time' |
4-dimensional space-time |
| 15. Euclidean system |
Non-euclidean systems |
| 16. Newtonian system |
Einsteinian or non-newtonian systems |
| 17. 'Sense' data predominant |
Inferential data as fundamental new factors |
| 18. Macroscopic and microscopic levels |
Sub-microscopic levels |
| 19. Methods of magic (self-deception) |
Elimination of self-deception |
| 20. Fibers, neurons, etc., 'objective' orientations |
Electro-colloidal process orientations |
| 21. Eventual 'organism-as-a-whole', disregarding environmental factors |
Organism-as-a-whole-in-environments, introducing new unavoidable factors |
| 22. Elementalistic structure of language and orientations |
Non-elementalistic structure of language and orientations |
| 23. 'Emotion' and 'intellect', etc. |
Semantic reactions |
| 24. 'Body' and 'mind', etc. |
Psychosomatic integration |
| 25. Tendency to split 'personality' |
Integrating 'personality' |
| 26. Handicapping nervous integration |
Producing automatically thalamo-cortical integration |
| 27. Intensional structure of language and orientations, perpetuating : |
Extensional structure of language and orientations, producing : |
28. Identifications in value:
a) of electronic, electro-colloidal, etc., stages of processes with the silent, non-verbal, 'objective' levels
b) of individuals, situations, etc.
c) of orders of abstractions |
Consciousness of abstracting
Extensional devices |
| 29. Pathologically reversed order of evaluation |
Natural order of evaluation |
| 30. Conducive to neuro-semantic tension |
Producing neuro-semantic relaxation |
| 31. Injurious psychosomatic effects |
Beneficial psychosomatic effects |
| 32. Influencing toward un-sanity |
Influencing toward sanity |
| 33. 'Action at a distance', metaphysical false-to-fact orientations |
'Action by contact', neuro-physiological scientific orientations |
| 34. Two-valued causality, and so consequent 'final causation' |
Infinite-valued causality, where the 'final causation' hypothesis is not needed |
| 35. Mathematics derived from 'logic', with resulting verbal paradoxes |
'Logic' derived from mathematics, eliminating verbal paradoxes |
| 36. Avoiding empirical paradoxes |
Facing empirical paradoxes |
| 37. Adjusting empirical facts to verbal patterns |
Adjusting verbal patterns to empirical facts |
| 38. Primitive static 'science' (religions) |
Modern dynamic 'religions' (science) |
| 39. Anthropomorphic |
Non-anthropomorphic [ ? ] |
| 40. Non-similarity of structure between language and facts |
Similarity of structure between language and facts |
| 41. Improper evaluations, resulting in : |
Proper evaluation, tested by : |
| 42. Impaired predictability |
Maximum predictability |
| 43. Disregarded |
Undefined terms [see Note: (Paul)] |
| 44. Disregarded |
Self-reflexiveness of language |
| 45. Disregarded |
Multiordinal mechanisms and terms |
| 46. Disregarded |
Over/under-defined character of terms |
| 47. Disregarded |
Inferential terms as terms |
| 48. Disregarded |
Neuro-linguistic environments considered as environment |
| 49. Disregarded |
Neuro-semantic environments considered as environment |
| 50. Disregarded |
Decisive, automatic effect of the structure of language on types of evaluation, and so neuro-semantic reactions |
| 51. Elementalistic, verbal, intensional 'meaning', or still worse, 'meaning of meaning' |
Non-elementalistic, extensional, by fact evaluations |
| 52. Antiquated |
Modern, 1941 |
THE NEW NON-ARISTOTELIAN ORIENTATIONS DIFFER AS MUCH FROM THE ARISTOTELIAN AS THE ARISTOTELIAN DIFFER FROM THE PRIMITIVE TYPES OF EVALUATION.
