Evolving freedom: the discrete freedom sequence

Posted in Third Edition, World History and The Eonic Effect at 8:31 pm by nemo

In a previous post today we looked at the question of ethics, free will, and naturalism, and indicated that the eonic effect gives us a direct picture of the ‘evolution of freedom’. This passage from World History And The Eonic Effect discusses the ‘discrete freedom sequence’, a spectacular outer clue to a deeper dynamic embedded in the macrohistorical historical dynamic seen in the eonic effect.
Freedom Evolves? The Discrete Freedom Sequence
Our eonic periodization is about to uncover one of the most remarkable mysteries of human history, and evolution, a windfall that leads us to the core of the Kantian philosophy of history. It is the only clue we have to the otherwise invisible action of the eonic sequence. On the surface the eonic effect is a transparent phenomenon, almost widget-like in its system action. But the basic dynamic never shows its hand. However, like a dropped handkerchief it does leave behind the traces of a bare something, and in the next chapter we will attempt to uncover that mysterious logic, reminiscent of the Kantian intimations of the noumenal.
Looking at the eonic effect we see that the scale of evolution is so vast that no simple theory of the usual type is possible, the reason for our retreat to a ‘tracker-approximator’. No single generalization will suffice, and ‘evolution’ can change its meaning at each interval. A classic example is the ‘state emergentism’ of TP1 and the ‘anti-state emergentism’ in later transitions, a system reacting against itself. Further, we are embedded observers, which will lead us to the concept of an ‘eonic observer’. Finally, the last straw, we notice, and we simply describe, what we will call the discrete freedom sequence, in the process discovering the relationship of our data to a classic Kantian antinomy. These are empirical observations, not proofs, but we are left suspicious. We are left, we suspect, in ‘theory deadlock’, as we do a double take on a theory of causal generation and a theory of freedom emergence. There goes ‘theory’. However, none of this prevents our model from tracking the data, and the result is still highly useful, and informative, and hopefully on its way to ‘some new kind of science’. If this seems complex, relax. We have reached the limits of theory, and can proceed, in the next chapter, to creating our ‘eonic map’.
Thus, our eonic sequence is now a ‘causal surrogate’ for some kind of Big History. But inside that sequence we find ‘freedom clusters’ as eonic emergents in the frequency schedule. The result is four things, eonic determination, free action, eonic determination of Freedom, and free action as potential Freedom, along with ‘freedom from sequential dependency’. That’s more than we need, as artificial concepts in our model, but with a little experience, the distinctions here are interesting, and clearly relevant to our model.
If you ever wondered why the American, French, and later revolutions tended toward snafu problems, the reason is somewhere in there. The study of these together shows why an evolutionary or historical theory always suffers difficulty: it’s just mis-applied Newtonian thinking. But at the same time this pattern inside a pattern is solid enough to be part of our photo finish demonstration. We see large-scale macroevolution, empirically tracked, of ‘freedom phenomena’. Although ‘free action’ can generally manage near republics, real democracy only gets a jumpstart in the eonic mainline, a clear smoking gun for some kind of ‘eonic determination’.
Thus, to define terms, one of the most interesting things we can observe about this pattern is the double appearance of democracy in two successive turning points, in both cases near a divide. If only we had a longer sequence, more data, but this is unnerving. This is the piece de resistance of the eonic effect. We will call this the discrete freedom sequence, a subset of our eonic pattern.

    Discrete freedom sequence: a second hypothesis Looking at the eerie and exact timing of our eonic sequence we suspect that the double emergentism of democracy is, however we might conceivably explain it, not chance. A look at the general backup in the deep modern emergent core shows this to be a more than reasonable guess, since the ‘evolution of the idea of freedom’ is itself a crucial component of the modern transition. The resemblance to questions raised by Kant is quite extraordinary, emboldening us to proceed. But our demonstration of a non-random pattern doesn’t require closing on some oversimplification as theory.
    A Kantian antinomy Confronted with our black box we have few clues to its action behind the scenes. Its depth is locked and sealed. But in the discrete freedom sequence we get an inkling. On the one hand the eonic sequence generates a ‘causal nexus’, on the other hand the discrete freedom sequence is generated in the mainline in an opposing, yet embedded, trend. This, most remarkably, resembles the Third Antinomy of Kant. Our system is ‘evolving freedom’ over millennia, in some formal sense. But can we define ‘freedom’?

This sequence is the crux of the whole question of theory. But all we are going to do is try to fit it in our general scheme of periodization, as a clue to what is going on. We will see later that we have in all innocence rediscovered the basis of ‘noumenal freedom’ concepts, for which Kant’s system is so notable. We will make no firm claims there, but leave that as a side study in the endnotes to this Chapter. Let us simply note that no matter how hard we zoom in on our data, we will never find the ‘causation’ of freedom. By definition, in our type of model, reflecting the data, we see that it just appears, inside the eonic matrix. Think in terms of a simple question, where does Freedom come from?
Since this is circumstantial evidence in a complex history stretching over millennia, caution is required, and we need to return to the data, which shows that Greek democracy seems to appear out of nowhere. We suspect that no standard sociological causation theory is going to explain it, although the point is open to debate. But its placement in our derandomized pattern is too suspicious for comfort. That’s obvious at a high level, but counterintuitive as we zoom in. It is good to make a zoom target of the emergence of Greek democracy for a dose of realism, to ensure that we don’t get carried away in some metaphysics.
A big part of the answer, for most theorists, in the Greek case was the invention of cheap iron weapons, and the resulting equalization. But we can, and must, produce the Axial Age correlation, both here and in the Old Testament instance, without flinching at the paradoxes created by the gesture of Big History. We can’t sweep this under the rug in the name of some scientific account. Quite apart from anything else the philosophy of history is itself part of the discrete freedom sequence, as is the emergence of abolitionism, and the general question of slavery.
But let’s get carried away for a moment, not with metaphysics, but periodization. We have a modern divide. Backtracking 2400 years, we should have another, ca. –600. Right on schedule we see the rough comparison (as our later discussion of the Old Testament will make clear). So what do we find in the Greek case?

    Zoom target: Solon The emergence of democracy in ancient Greece is a complex subject, and the slow progression from monarchies to city-states should, by any standard of sociological analysis, be confined to local social causative explanations. Yet if we zoom out and adopt eonic periodization we see that the appearance and timing of Solon is non-random, occurs near a transitional divide, and becomes otherwise inexplicable by standard canons. To finish the question off, we jump 2400 hundred years to the next divide, and what do we find, another democratic take-off. Chance? Not likely, dumbfounded or not.

We must be careful and distinguish two levels of evidence, the non-random pattern of the eonic effect, and the subpattern of the discrete freedom sequence, which might give us an inkling of what’s going on in our black box, for here we discover some familiar issues of the philosophy of history dropping some historical hints. The issue of theory, teleology, and ideology will prove desperate in this case. The question of the emergence of freedom is taken here as an exercise in demonstrating a non-random pattern. Pointing to something is not as such an explanation. This is one of the most complicated problems in the whole of human knowledge. So we won’t pretend to solve it via the fantastic.
But this example will show us the real complexity of historical theory, where reductionist scientism simply strikes out ad infinitum. We should note that Hegel attempted to exploit this situation for a theological approach. And Marx, moving to the opposite extreme, produced his historical materialism. We need to start over in ultra-cautious fashion and simply describe the full puzzle, which has a kind of Kantian simplicity and sublimity in its stark mystery.
