of the Invisible World to reflect the Zeroness discussed in Section 6.6.4,

the Pure Zero of C. S. Peirce [490], the Zero of P. Rowlands who derived

fundamental equations in physics based on the mathematics of zero

[404], and the Zero of L. Krauss who marshaled recent astrophysical

evidence that the Universe arose from zero [491]. When I chose the let-

ter Z in 1995 [24] to represent the Invisible World, I did not anticipate

that, two decades later, in 2016, it would be assigned the role of repre-

senting so many different kinds of Zeros in natural and human sciences,

all of which may be viewed as the tokens of the type, Z.

In 1898 [372], Peirce discussed the notion of “simple concepts appli-

cable to every subject” that would be needed to construct

“... a philosophy like that of Aristotle, that is to say, to outline a theory

so comprehensive that, for a long time to come, the entire work of human

reason, in psychology, in physical science, in history, in sociology, and

on the principles of complementarity and self-organization and includes Spirituality as an

intrinsic aspect of reality [278, p. 209]. The Shillongator shown in Figure 10.16 can be

viewed as a physical model of the universe in contrast to the Seoulator which is a meta-

physical model. This figure, first published in 1995 [24], was updated by adding the

symbol “Zero” in the Z World in September 2016, in order to make it compatible with

Table 6.9.
