In this project, largely composed of loosely aphoristic 'supernotes' dating from 1989–91, the Element-based quadruplicities, or fourfold structures, of earlier books, including 'Elemental Spectra', have been further developed and even expanded upon, to include T-like diagrams whose intention is to facilitate a sense of the respective positions, vis-a-vis the Elements, of each component in the overall hierarchy of any given quadruplicity. In that respect, this eBook also anticipates the next one in what is an ongoing process spiralling towards a more comprehensively exacting summit, the end-product of all such formative essays into truth. The cover shows one of John O'Loughlin's more pronouncedly absolute abstract paintings suitable, we believe, to the idealistic bias of this self-styled 'critique'.
