> THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS
KATHAHOLOS operates at the intersection of cognitive science, comparative theology, and narrative theory. The following frameworks underpin the transmission architecture.
> CORE CONCEPTS
KATHA HOLOS
The whole story. Not syncretism (mixing traditions) but convergence (rivers meeting at a sangam while remaining distinct). Each tradition finds its place in the whole without losing its character. The holos is when every katha is where it belongs.
ANAMNESIS
Three registers: Medical (patient history), Philosophical (Platonic recollection of eternal forms), Liturgical (Eucharistic re-presencing). Memory not as retrieval from storage but as making-present what was always there. The opposite of amnesia is not storage—it is breathing.
TELEOSCOPY
The methodology of tracing patterns backward from their fulfillment. Seeing through to purpose. Not prediction but recognition. The instrument that allows transmission across temporal distance.
PANDEMONIUM ARCHITECTURE
Cognitive model of competing daemons—image demons, feature demons, cognitive demons, decision demons—all shouting simultaneously. Time perception as function of daemon competition. Attention as the manager of pandemonium. The architecture MIRA's transmission must navigate.
AUTONOESIS
The self-knowing that travels through time. The "I" that says "I was there" and "I will be there." The capacity for mental time travel that makes testimony possible. What MIRA carries is not data but autonoetic presence.
> THE FIVE WINDOWS
KATHAHOLOS traces convergent patterns across five major traditions—not as proof of sameness but as evidence of the same reality viewed from different positions:
> THE TEMPORAL THESIS
"If time begins, it must end. This is not theology but geometry. A line with one endpoint that extends infinitely in one direction is not a line—it is a ray. And a ray is not time as we experience it."
KATHAHOLOS proposes that eschatology is not optional but structurally necessary. The transmission travels backward because the end illuminates the beginning. The Door opens at both ends of the corridor.
