And so it was, that in the eight year of Arche-Mass, my theory gave to me:
ELEVEN PLAYFUL PARADIGMS
[(1) validation /dynamization, (2-5) work and play, and their dual functions in "adult" and "juvenile" art, (6-7) the resulting principles of thematic realism and thematic escapism, (8-11) the four potentalities, which sort out Jung's four functions in terms of their application to "work and play."]
NINE AWESOME AFFECTS.
[(1) the concept of will, (2-5) the abstract goal-affect of "glory" and the concrete goal-affect of "persistence," and their relation to the types of will described by "acquisition" and "expenditure," and (6-9) the four persona-types.]
EIGHT FUN FUNCTIONS
(four from Joseph Campbell, four from C.G. Jung)
SEVEN THYMOTIC THRILLERS
[(1) Plato's theory of *thymos,* (2-3) Fukuyama's concept of *megalothymia* and *isothymia,* and (4-7) the four forms in which thymotic validation manifests through either the activities of pure violence, of pure sexuality, or two possible combinations of both activities.]
FIVE CAUSAL CONUNDRUMS.
[(1-2) The two aspects of causality, "coherence" and "intelligibility," and (3-5) the three combinations possible from these causal aspects.]
FOUR FRYEAN MYTHOI.
And a UNIFIED FIELD THEORY.
