Deep dives
Understanding the Nature of Perception
The domain of perception explores the concepts of perceiver, perceived, and perceiving. The concept of perceiver is labeled as transcendent, perceived as omniscient, and perceiving as imminent. This labeling establishes a connection between the observer, the observed, and the act of observation.
Foundational Triplication and Type Isomorphism in Different Domains
In various domains of study, a foundational triplication approach is observed, wherein three essential concepts are identified. For example, in the field of music, intensity, pattern, and tonality are the core concepts. In language, statements, semantics, and syntax represent the foundational concepts. These concepts display type isomorphism, revealing similar patterns of correspondence across different domains.
Modalities and Relationship to Domain Primal Concepts
The modalities of imminent, omniscient, and transcendent are associated with specific domain primal concepts. In the universe domain, creation and interaction align with the transcendent and imminent modalities, respectively. In the language domain, semantics and syntax correspond to the transcendent and imminent modalities, demonstrating the relationship between primal concepts and modalities.
Imminent, Omniscient, and Transcendent Modalities in Analyzing Reality
Examining the concepts of choice, change, and causation in the context of reality reveals intriguing modalities. Choice is linked to the transcendent modality, while change associates with the imminent modality, and causation connects to the omniscient modality. Understanding these modalities sheds light on the profound relationship between fundamental concepts in the domain of reality.
Axiom 1: Relationship Between Frameworks and Perspectives
Axiom 1 discusses the distinction between the omniscient and imminent perspectives. It highlights that omniscient involves a framework removed from the first-person view, similar to viewing a photograph. The framework in omniscient allows perceptions of defined relationships or patterns in a removed context.
Axiom 2: Transformation from Theory to Practice
Axiom 2 delves into the transcendent and imminent aspects, focusing on the dynamic process. It explains how choices involve a sequence of potentials, selections, and consequences, moving from abstract possibilities to actual outcomes. Axiom 2 emphasizes the shift from theoretical understanding (transcendent) to first-person experiential (imminent) viewpoints.
Axiom 3: Distinct Modalities and Inseparable Nature
Axiom 3 aligns with the transcendent modality, emphasizing the inseparability and distinction of the classes and instances within the eminent, omniscient, and transcendent realms. It portrays a meta-understanding where the metaphysics can self-describe and incorporate the describer, bridging theory and practice across subjective and objective realms.

Forrest Landry & Jim build on the foundation they built in his last JRS episode to continue to flesh out Forrest's Immanent Metaphysics. They explore the self, subject/object relationship, perception, the nature of choice & process, causality & determinism, realism vs idealism, dualism, the foundational triplicate, the three modalities, statement & implications of Forrest's three axioms, their associated modalities, and much more.

Forrest Landry is a philosopher, writer, researcher, scientist, engineer, craftsman, and teacher focused on metaphysics, the manner in which software applications, tools, and techniques influence the design and management of very large scale complex systems, and the thriving of all forms of life on this planet. Forrest is also the founder and CEO of Magic Flight, a third-generation master woodworker who found that he had a unique set of skills in large scale software systems design. Which led him to work in the production of several federal classified and unclassified systems, including various FBI investigative projects, TSC, IDW, DARPA, the Library of Congress Congressional Records System, and many others.
