Formula: Ε = ε ∑ (ideals)
The construction of forms is the sum of ideals, each multiplied by the small change (ε) they contribute to the Eidos.
In the "Meno," Plato explores the concept of innate knowledge through the doctrine of recollection, suggesting that learning is the construction of ideas (eidoi) from within the soul. The formula Ε = ε ∑ (ideals) parallels this process; ε, a small quantity, represents the incremental nature of learning and discovery. The summation symbol (∑) indicates that understanding the forms (eidoi) is a cumulative process, assembling the sum of all ideals or forms. This resonates with the Platonic view that knowledge is built up from an aggregation of remembered forms, each contributing to a comprehensive understanding of truth.
We create our world by uprooting ourselves and unleashing our creative force into the infinite...that's how we build.
