A Model for the Rehabilitation of Witness Perspective-The Path of Knowledge:The Knowledge of PathMarvin/E.KirshauthorThe sound producing machinery of change is a viral element in the problems of
civilization. A silent relation that is unmoved, as it is unexposed to the power of the
discourse of change and a silent logic of volumetric processes, together illustrated to
companion empirical nature are employed for the elaboration of historical conceptual
paradox involving mind and matter. Mind, conceived as an enduring state of the
becoming of energy into a state of matter, and matter as the constantly becoming
environment, are tested with criteria of witnessibility for consistency to capture an
acceptably reasoned description, from a modern perspective, of cultural evolution. A
self-generating friction at the conceptual border of the social and natural sciences, as the
recurring source of the problems of civilization, is discussed. The philosophies of logical
positivism and post modernism referenced from the elaborated philosophy are determined
to reflect a need for a representation of nature that is independent of temporal and
physical parameters of perspective. Emergence is discussed within the framework of first
witness perspective and a visually based mathematical-physical model of space is
elaborated.
