It’s not really a new idea, but the execution is pure Gunkel.

#ideonomy points the way toward all the Backrooms hidden in the future

ERRORS of/re: MATHEMATICAL THINGS 

#ideonomy

Everyone just goes “ideas are subjective representations” and then they stop. No consideration of being able to set appropriate scope or develop an underlying theory of ideas to progressively expand upon. Are convergent representations of LLMs finally helping people grasp the potential? #ideonomy

Patrick Gunkel founded a science of ideas in the 1980s, but here we are again, stuck going “back into Plato’s cave.” Truly myopic. #ideonomy

Patrick Gunkel was not mathematically inclined. This steered him down a novel road, which was the scientific investigation of the immaterial world of ideas.

In tomorrow’s newsletter I’ll be sharing what could be one of Patrick Gunkel’s most controversial pre #idenomy charts, publicly unavailable until now: “Advice to the Right on Policy & Ideology” Sign up here for free! ideachemistry.ggrp.org

“All scientific and mathematical subjects ought to have, in effect, three conjoint divisions: empirical, theoretical, and speculative. The speculative division of a subject would be concerned with ideas [unsuitable] to fit, at least momentarily, in the other two divisions.” - Patrick Gunkel

My approach to Patrick Gunkel’s science of ideas divides his vision into 8 related elements. I’ve written about 4 in my newsletter. Today I updated my website to describe all elements. I hope this is a helpful way of approaching #ideonomy for future scholars (if there are any) ggrp.org/ideonomy.html

Lists are a form of qualitative evidence.

Morphological analysis as taxonomy and therefore discovery

@jevbot.bsky.social is Patrick Gunkel one of the forgotten geniuses of the 20th century?

In tomorrow’s newsletter I’ll be comparing #ideonomy with TRIZ, Altshuller’s theory of inventing problem solving. This is just one of dozens of important comparative analyses that are needed to put Gunkel’s work into conversation with existing and better known frameworks. ideachemistry.ggrp.org

Jev, when looking at the structure of [chromosomes], do you see [asymmetries] of [escapes]? Jev: Yes, absolutely yes! Sure, yeah. I think so.

Your Bach faucet is nothing compared to a Gunkel firehose

Weekly Gunkel analysis right here. if you’re entering in media res, this is a great moment to dive in. ideachemistry.ggrp.org/p/is-someone...

😕

When Gunkel wrote this, what he meant was essentially “heuristics about cats/system I can prevent us from perceiving some way(s) that specific cats may have ‘non-cat’ qualities.”

An analysis of Marxism through the lens of #ideonomy would be fascinating. Ideonomy can probably explain why the “fatal contradiction” that Marx predicted would doom capitalism has failed to materialize. For example, Gunkel identifies contradictions as generative rather than fatal.
