Overview

We have been reading reality with only half of the alphabet. For three centuries, science has spoken in the language of mathematics-a tongue of quantities, coordinates, and extended things. It gave us Newton's clockwork, Einstein's spacetime, and Schrödinger's wavefunction. It placed a cosmos in our minds: elegant, vast, and silent. But something has always been missing from the equations-something every child knows gazing at the stars, every lover feels in a shared glance, every mourner carries in an empty room. Not more data, but more dimension. Not more information, but more depth. We mapped the world, but lost the world's color. We measured time, but exiled time's passage. We defined light, but forgot the wind that carries it. This book begins with a simple, radical premise: reality is not four-dimensional. It is seven-dimensional. And four of those dimensions are not of space or time, but of quality-the ancient elements of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire, understood not as substances but as verbs of being. The other three are dimensions of spirit-the heart's capacity to love, the mind's ability to discern truth from illusion, the soul's orientation toward the eternal. Drawing on the unbroken cosmological tradition of Ethiopia-a system of thought as rigorous as it is symbolic-this work reconstructs a forgotten metaphysics for a scientific age. Here, Einstein's relativity is not contradicted, but completed. The speed of light is revealed not as a property of photons, but as the pulse of the cosmic breath-the Nefas-that carries them. Time is not a line, but a triadic rhythm: the tick of clocks (Chronos), the moment of meaning (Kairos), and the depth of the eternal (Aion). With mathematical precision, the book builds a new formal ontology: the seven-dimensional human, existing simultaneously in the qualitative space of the elements and the intensive space of the spirit. It derives the Lagrangian equations that govern this being-equations that incorporate not only mass and energy, but meaning and will, grace and intention. It offers nothing less than a unified framework where physics, philosophy, and theology are not at war, but in conversation-different windows onto the same breathed, multidimensional cosmos. A Calculus of Being is for the physicist who senses there must be more to the universe than a geometric void. For the philosopher tired of the hard problem of consciousness being treated as a ghost in the machine. For the seeker who knows, in their bones, that love is as real as gravity, and that wisdom leaves a trace in the world. It is a work of daring synthesis, a call to expand our vision from a science of quantities to a science of qualities-from a universe that is, to a universe that means. Advance Praise for A Calculus of Being: ""A breathtaking work of intellectual synthesis. The author does not dismiss modern physics, but elevates it-by giving it a metaphysical ground it has lacked since Descartes. This is the kind of book that changes how you see everything: a falling leaf, a beam of light, the passage of your own life."" - Dr. Amara Selassie, Professor of Cosmology & Philosophy of Science ""A profound correction to the flattening of reality. The chapter on time alone is worth the price of admission-finally, a model that distinguishes between clock-time, significant time, and eternal time without resorting to mystification. This book doesn't just add to the conversation; it begins a new one."" - Dr. Lin Wei, Director, Institute for Noetic Sciences
