Overview

This is the first revision to this title and it is based on the findings just (2017) published in the fifth volume of the series (The M Function) which reveals the invisible hand as a reality working in these early pages. The authors intuition ( qualia ) indicated that there was true meaning in the discretionary behavior of affluent individuals even if they themselves were not conscious of it. Even if the authors could not fully explain it. The hunt for meaning was on. Among the footnotes in this first volume you will find reference to Harold Kauffman's Investigations, a work that includes the co-evolutionary NK formula that becomes central to our studies by volumes 4 and 5. In this volume we begin a process that takes us where the facts and data lead. We are fortunate to conduct our discovery both in mathematics and semantics, in several sciences, hard and soft. It is the ability of the authors to dialog between themselves and with peers in various disciplines that brings vitality to the subject. Along the way Richard Dawkins pointed out that ideas that replicate themselves in our brains, passing from brain to brain, will help our species reproduce as much as physical genes. In his book The Selfish Gene he coined the term meme for such cultural replicators. We think the invisible hand and the Demon are just such memes. We hope you will enjoy the art and the science of the up-dated memes in this volume
