(external observations). There may be a third route to truth — through

spiritual meditations and practices. These three routes (i.e., scientific,

mental, and spiritual) may constitute an irreducibly triadic approach to the

ultimate truth and reality.

The diagrams and pictures (i.e., signs), presented in Figure 9.3, can be

interpreted in more than one way, depending on the interest of the inter-

preter. ITRs illustrated in the diagrams and pictures in Figure 9.3 appear

naturally to divide into two types — the quantitative and qualitative. If such

a division turns out to be real, it may follow that ITR embodies the quality–

quantity complementarity. The complementarity relation is characterized

by (a) exclusivity (A and B are mutually exclusive), (b) essentiality (A and

B are essential for C), and (c) transcendentality (C transcends the level

where A and B have meanings) [24, 279].

Figure 9.3 may support the conclusions that

1. ITR is a universal principle;


2. ITR applies to both quantitative and qualitative systems; and


3. ITR embodies the quantity–quantity complementarity.

If this conclusion turns out to be correct, ITR may serve as the

empirically validated bridge for connecting natural sciences and human

sciences, on the one hand, and between the secular and spiritual sciences,

on the other.

Figure 9.13 The irreducibly triadic relation among the spiritual, philosophical, and

scientific contemplations. Can it be that there exists a similar irreducibly triadic relation

among truth, ethics, and beauty?
