Triadic
philosophy sees reality as all pervasive and all embracing. It can be no other.
If all thinking is in signs and all that is can become a sign, can there be
anything that is not a sign? Triadic philosophy sees the spectrum as the best
means of evaluating (valuing) the
elements of reality that we perceive and consider. A spectrum is the projection
of a hierarchy that denotes values. The heights are reserved for terms we associate
with good, with the positive, with life. The depths for terms that denote harm,
evil, death. The spectrum is a utility within the mind that enables and
facilitates discrimination. The terms
which we value at the high end could be called ontological, meaning that they
are universal. Why so? Because they enhance the being, the fulfillment, the
realization of every person on earth. Now to be a realist and not a nominalist
is to believe that these terms are not merely what we put up there on a
spectrum of our own making, but that they represent realities that exist
regardless of whether we perceive them or not. It is to such terms that I would
attach the description ontological. And
yes I would hazard the guess that they are indeed part of the being to which
history aspires.
