Things always finally come together, by anticipation of the future, and I thought that a few musician-geometers of the LaRouche movement might benefit from my more recent investigations into the relationship between the well-tempered musical system and Platonic constructive geometry. The idea is also about the immediate next change coming in human history.

In his book, Project A, Lyndon LaRouche treated the question of the One and the Many in a fashion very similar to Plato’s treatment of that same subject in the Republic and in the Parmenides. LaRouche demonstrated that a fundamental characteristic of the sovereign creative human mind, which is contrary to all animals, is capable of having a direct relationship to the universe as a whole, through an idea which is capable of changing the whole of human history, past, present, and future, and thus, change the universe as a whole.

You are probably going to think that I am crazy for asking you to do this, but what is required to solve the problem of the degeneracy of our present day world is for you to discover the purpose of Plato’s “geometrical number” as a means of dealing with the problem of mastering the method of the coincidence of opposites and of solving the paradox of the One and the Many. That’s right; Plato dealt with this question by constructing a mental process for solving paradoxes with the use of elementary Pythagorean geometry. The present report will show you how to replicate this discovery of principle.

This report is a review of the discovery of principle behind linear and ideal perspective, which I made thanks to Lyndon LaRouche more than 25 years ago, in 1994, and which I invite the younger generations of would be geometers to rediscover by constructing the discovery of principle that Raphael made for his two frescoes, The School of Athens and The Dispute of the Holy Sacrament; that is, the discovery of principle of unity between philosophy and theology.

This discovery does not require any academic knowledge whatsoever; on the contrary, all that is needed is a critical and inquiring mind into constructive geometry, which enables you to discover the solution to Plato’s paradox of the One and the Many. All you have to do is to connect lines to points and points to lines that are already given or find other connecting lines by yourself, starting from those that are already located in this ironic Star of David that Raphael drew on a tablet laying on the floor of The School of Athens.

Today’s society is being subverted by sophistry and by a generally accepted cultural trend of lying. Political propaganda is flooding all of the major information media with so much ideological disinformation and fake news that it has become impossible for ordinary citizens to know what the real world is and how to cope with the constant barrage of aggressive ideological gibberish. Today’s culture has reached what may be the highest degree of falsification and sophistry of language in all of recorded history. The question is: How to get out of this predicament?

Plato’s Cratylus dialogue answers that question: you have to examine your own mind as well as the minds of others. The idea is not to examine what to think, but how to think. Plato uses etymology to teach us how to look at what is behind language and behind “things”, like names in this case, in order to learn the proper way to discover the axioms that are behind human thinking.
