Metarationalism: The Mathematical and Mental Framework of the Neogenian System

This article is part 2 in a series about the concepts of the Neogenian System. Read part 1 here.
Metarationalism, as a foundational concept within the Neogenian system, proposes a revolutionary understanding of existence. It fundamentally asserts that reality is both mathematical and mental in nature, transcending the traditional confines of materialism. This perspective illuminates existence as structured, governed, and permeated by mathematical laws and principles, rather than being a random or chaotic accumulation of physical matter.

Key aspects of Metarationalism include:

1. Fundamental Reality as Mathematical and Mental: Reality is viewed as inherently mathematical, where every element is an expression of mathematical principles. This viewpoint positions subjective experience and consciousness as intrinsic to the fabric of existence, suggesting that we, as eternal minds, are integral components of this reality.
2. Metacognitive Engagement: Metarationalism is metacognitive in nature, involving a deep engagement with the processes of thinking and understanding reality. It challenges us to consider our limitations and the inherent errors in human reasoning, fostering a critical reflection on our own cognitive processes and the broader mental structures of the universe.
3. Synthesis of Intuition and Reason: The system emphasizes the integration of intuition and reason, proposing that intuition offers initial insights or ‘flashes of understanding,’ which are then scrutinized and structured through rational thought. This synthesis allows for a progressive building of knowledge that aligns with the metaphysical architecture of reality.
4. Role of Zedas and the Cosmic Network: Metarationalism introduces the concept of Zedas, or individual mental entities, that collectively form a cosmic network. This network is seen as a dynamic, evolving system, with each Zeda contributing to the ongoing development and understanding of the universe.
5. Existence as Thought: At its core, Metarationalism posits that reality is akin to a vast mental process, where every physical phenomenon reflects deeper mental activities. This leads to the view of the universe not merely as a collection of objects but as a living, thinking entity, with humanity’s role being to awaken and reflect upon this universal mind.
6. Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR): A cornerstone of Metarationalism, the PSR argues that nothing occurs without a reason, providing a logical foundation to counter claims of randomness or chaos in the universe. This principle supports a deterministic view where every event or action, including the behavior of particles at the quantum level, is ultimately part of a coherent, reason-based structure of existence .

Through these concepts, Metarationalism sets the stage for deeper explorations into the nature of reality, fostering a worldview that bridges the physical and metaphysical, the rational and intuitive, and the individual and universal. It is a philosophical framework that encourages a comprehensive and reflective engagement with the cosmos, positing humanity not merely as observers but as active participants in the unfolding story of the universe.
