About Stephen G. Ryan:

 

An high school graduate born in the year 1963 and currently residing in the rural area of Worthington, West Virginia, I consider myself to be 98% self-educated. I dropped out of college because I did not think that I needed professors to tell me what books to read. Matriculating in a major college program would have forced me to specialize in some restricted field of study. The Theoretical Science of Phenomenology studies everything, and considers all types and sources of knowledge as intellectually significant. Lately I have been studying Differential Geometry and the Tensor Calculus of the General Theory of Relativity. I take pride in the fact that I have never passed a Laboratory Physics class.

I have been working in complete isolation for the last 30 years. It didn't take a super-specialist to see the thousands of Logical Possibilities inherent in the Three Term Venn Diagram, given the viability of all 16 Truth-Functional Operators (TFO's). Handbook of Logical Validity could potentially be an assigned textbook for intermediate college logic courses.

The Coitadology, separate from the system of HYPERMETROPHIA, is an important Logical discovery in its own right, and can be used by anyone to organize their thoughts (The Coitadology is discussed on the HYPERMETROPHIA page).

About this website

This website is not very slick or flashy in terms of the graphics. The publishing industry lately is not very conducive to reviewing unsolicited manuscript submissions, so I thought that I should print the books up myself and attempt to market them over the Internet.

This material might seem confusing to readers who are not specialists in Logic or the Philosophy of Science. I tried to be as clear and concise as possible.

There were a lot of Logical Symbols that are not rectifiable in HTML, so in most cases the method was to paste MS-Word Documents into Adobe Photoshop and then insert them as Images. Visitors to this website might want to download the latest version of their Web Browers in order to explicate all of the Symbology presented on it.

I write to be read, so if you are a literary agent or an editor of a publishing company, I would be willing to send you these manuscripts free of charge. Simply go to the Contact the Author page, and write me an e-mail.

You might think that I am either crazy or brilliant, or maybe a little bit of both. It is interesting to note that this statement can be expressed Logically as:

(∃[(steve@phenomenologybooks.com)⊆₁₂([.Crazy.]∨₁₄[.Brilliant.])]).

About the book Meta-Scientific Phenomenology

This is the book I am working on now. After one book about Philosophy (HYPERMETROPHIA) and one book on Logic (Handbook of Logical Validity), Meta-Scientific Phenomenology is where I finally get to talk about Physics. I came to Physics from Philosophy. The main thrust of this new book is that what is known as 'The Standard Model of Contemporary Physics' has nowhere to go but further confusion. There is no sense in attempting to converge the two main branches of Modern Physics, namely Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Theory, simply by virtue of the fact that these two branches possess irreconcilable axioms. These anomalies suggest that contemporary Physics is at present in what is called in the Philosophy of Science a "Crisis State" and that a "Paradigm Shift" within the Physical Sciences is now necessary.

Meta-Scientific Phenomenology shall be concerned with the composition of what will be called a "Relativistic Quantum EVENT Mechanics." Also, an attempt will be made to clear up some Epistemological difficulties. This combination of Physics with Philosophy seems to be the only way the Sciences can advance.
