A Synthesis of ‘Analytic’ and ‘Continental’ Philosophy.
The Specific Quantum Control of Cognitive Medieval Stoicism.
Jason Wakefield, University of Cambridge, England.
The cognitive, which the Stoics say is the criterion of things, is that which arises from what is
and is stamped and impressed exactly in accordance with what is. (Diogenes Laertius VII.46)
A cognitive impression is one which arises from what is and is
stamped and impressed exactly in accordance with what is. (Sextus Empiricus VII.247)
Furthermore, its being stamped and impressed, so that all its impressors' peculiarities are
stamped on it in a craftsmanlike way ... just as the seals on rings always stamp
their markings precisely on the wax ... (Sextus Empiricus VII.252)
Phantasia kataleptike is a fundamental element in the Stoic account of perception that
explains the process whereby images of the physical world enter the mind of the subject.
(Goldhill 2001: 176).
Zeno the Stoic philosopher was one of the founding fathers of Stoicism as a philosophical
movement and an authority for the scientific literature which is the lingua franca of a
significant part of the ancient Greek and Roman academic world. Only fragments of Zeno's
work now survives in the doxographic tradition, thus an extensive analytic comparison of
cognitive science in the phantasia kataleptike of Diogenes Laertius and Sextus Empiricus is
very limited. Many contemporary cognitive scientists in the pursuit of Nobel prizes through
inventing things such as quantum mechanics, have forgotten that the origins of the
experimental control of quantum systems began with Aristotle, Diogenes Laertius and Sextus
1
Empiricus. Atomic physics as a test bed for the cognitive criterion of quantum mechanics to
enable the control of atoms' internal states, corresponds directly to the stamps and
impressions of tuneable radiation sources such as microwave oscillators and lasers. Quantum
control, or to be precise, controlling the quantum levels of individual trapped ions to
manipulate ion motion at the quantum level, requires an exact cognitive impression of what
is, so that the precise manipulation of the internal and external states of atomic ions can
occur. Technology has evolved so quickly in laboratories over the past century that most
Nobel Prize winning scientists no longer consult any ancient Greek or Roman fragments,
however my argument is that many inventions, demonstrations and precise measurements
have had their methodology developed previously in the rare, philosophical manuscripts of
the Greek and Roman empires. Not only should we trace perceptive scientific
experimentation in the physical world back to the precise craftsmanship of Stoic philosophers
by analysing their original documents that have survived, we should also speak directly to the
current authors who are creating data graphs of the same cognitive frequency impressions
today. King's College, Cambridge University's Simon Goldhill introduced me in person, on
different occasions, to Lord Martin Rees our Astronomer Royal, the Union Theological
Seminary's Cornel West and University of California, Berkeley’s Judith Butler; thus it can
also be argued that no credible contemporary philosophy can be written without analysing
rare, original source documents and speaking to other authors (that appear in citations)
directly face to face for any analysis to be precise. Measurement precision often requires a
laser with high enough spectral purity to exploit narrow optical transitions, thus Sextus
Empiricus was correct that markings need to be stamped precisely from our cognitive
impressions. Stoicism did not disperse or expire with the ancient Greek and Roman waves of
science, its philosophy was a significant component of medieval laboratory publications.
Incunabula are books printed on either parchment or paper before the year 1501. The history
2
of the binding and rebinding of these books, as well as, scrolls and codices needs to be
analysed. English Medieval seals where usually made from beeswax, using a pigment such as
vermillion for the colour red. One has been analysing rare, unique and sacred medieval book
archives at the University of Cambridge, thus we are agreed that any serious scholar who
wishes to write any contemporary philosophy today, must include where parchments are
paginated; whether if there any codicologically similar manuscripts; the scribe names of
decorative initials; descriptions of folios; fragment conservation history and any ink changes
in the original sources. Hopefully all future philosophy conference delegates will avoid
cryptic, morbid, disorder - in favour of analyzing and repairing fragments of leaves of papyri,
uncials and lectionaries to restore theological verses with missing folio leaves. Schola
Linguarum (Hebraicaie et Graiecaie) with Schola Geometricae et Arithmeticae at the
Bodleian Library, University of Oxford often repairs damaged manuscripts, with missing
leaves and covers by replacing them with new covers featuring blue cloth and the gold stamp
of the Bodleian Library on both covers on either side of the book. Inscriptions on the original
binding are often lost during this process which can obscure the provenance of the book.
When Alvin Toffler conceptualised the term cognitariat in the 1970's and then articulated it in
print through his publications of the 1980's, he forgot that the power of cognitive labour is not
completely technocentric in reaction against technophobia, thus its provenance can be traced
back to the concerns raised by the medical physician Sextus Empiricus against
epistemological workers in Πυῤῤώνειοι ῤποτυπώσεις. Sextus Empiricus might have been
writing de-massification treatises against professorial, epistemological workers many
centuries before Alvin Toffler's Previews and Premises (1983) interested German readers who
have been trying to locate the original missing 1840/1 Doctoral dissertation manuscript
written by Karl Marx on the difference between the demo and Epicurean physics. Marx
described the qualities of the atom in his second chapter specifically referencing a letter
3
mentioning Diogenes Laertius conflicting with the analysis of the substratum of matter in the
seventh book of Aristotle's Metaphysics.
Perceptible substances as part of a cognitariat, when Marx's thesis at the
University of Jena is read in the original German, is evident in his illumination of the
contradictions between the physics of Aristotle and Diogenes Laertius, a century earlier than
Toffler's disillusionment with technocentric, cognitariat labour. In 2014, the wealth of the
richest 1% people in the world amounts to approximately $110 trillion, which is a chilling
reminder that the eighty five richest people in the world share a combined wealth of £1
trillion, which equals the wealth of the poorest 3.5 billion people. This inequality and
exploitation of cognitariat labour through economic class struggles, Marx articulated through
the notion of the extensive and intensive quantum influenced not only by the physics of
Aristotle and Diogenes Laertius, but also by chapter three of Georg Hegel's
The Science of Logic (1816), where Hegel cites Aristotle's example of qualitative alteration
and gradual quantitative change in his definition of measure as a specific quantity of the
specific quantum. Hegel's interpretation of Aristotle has been put to the test by David
Wineland in quantum system control experiments. Typically, the motion of each mode is
shared among all the ions and can act as a data bus for transferring information between ions.
A single-qubit gate or rotation (the relatively easy part) is implemented by applying a focused
laser beam or beams onto that ion and coherently driving a carrier transition as described
above. The harder part is to perform a logic gate between two selected ions. This can be
accomplished by first laser cooling all modes to the ground state. The internal qubit state of
one ion is then transferred onto the qubit formed from the ground and first excited state of a
particular mode of motion. (Wineland 2013: 1109). Somatechnicity is another way that
Wineland can verify Hegel's alterations of the quantum, to ascertain by experiment if the
infinity of the quantum
4
is a quantum and at the same time the non- being of quantum. This is how biophysics works
when we study atoms' internal energy differences when we attempt to control atoms' internal
states and external states for movements. The precise manipulation of these states means that
the cognition exemplars of various biophysicists rationally cannot provide different or
divergent paradigms when given the same evidence. The bioengineering of quantum
electrophysiological states has to be precise, otherwise the desired modification of the
specific atom of the test subject's nervous system would not be possible. Biophysical
evolution through somatechnicity is not directed at evolution towards a perfect, optimal
version of the human species, rather its purpose is to control the quantum levels of individual
ions and manipulate ion motion at the quantum level. The biotechnology is available to us
now in 2014 to apply Hegel's definition of measure in The Science of Logic (1816) to
manipulate the cognitive responses that form cognitive habits beyond natural, biological
stimuli to artificially created biological stimuli. Where Hegel was mistaken, due to his lack of
nanotechnology that is now available to Wineland today, is that he thought there was a
primacy of phenomenology over cognitivism. This is biomedically incorrect, as
phenomenology has now been transcended by the cognitive revolution of nanotechnology in
biophysics. Those unaware of recent biomedical advancements in quantum control, are still
very critical of cognitivism in favour of Hegelian phenomenology, such as Karl HeinzLembeck at the University of Würzburg. Despite Heinz-Lembeck's phenomenological
counter-argument about the cognitive basis of science systems, Wineland's entangled
superpositions has proved the computational superiority of cognitive quantum control over
Hegelian phenomenology through experiment and demonstration.
Exploring the quantum as a cognitive process, should not skip from a fleeting
analysis of science attributed to Zeno the Stoic to Wineland's quantum mechanics without
reference to some of the royal medieval manuscripts as prime exemplars of the debate
5
between phenomenologists of spirit and cognitariats. The only surviving copy of a late
reworking of Walter de Bibblesworth's Tretiz called the Femina Nova (1415) is archived in the
Wren Library, Trinity College, Cambridge. This features a Middle English translation, which often
misinterprets the text. Thus we can reclaim cognition away from its rejection by Hegelian
phenomenologists, when we analyse language as a cognitive process where poor translations
and bad pronunciation disrupts phenomenology. The cognitariat of Oxonian students in late
medieval England often learnt French in business courses, where French verbal paradigms
where explained in Latin rubrics. French was the language of the ruling class who regulated
the cognitariat labour of the English Middle Ages, as it was the mother tongue of every
English King from William I, up until Richard II. New frontiers in high-energy physics
appeared in royal correspondence written in French throughout the later Middle Ages, thus
English, German, Greek and Latin translations all create cognitive problems for our species,
as much of our existential phenomena is defined by the way we share this scientific
information. Quantum biophysics is also of the utmost importance, because every single
organism, no matter how complex, began its existence as a single cell.
Hegelian phenomenology is often cited today in texts written by revolutionary
political philosophers outside of Germany, such as Filip Kovacevic, whose current lectures at
the University of Montenegro on Alexandre Kojève's critique of The Science of Logic (1816)
are very popular.
DNA can be extracted from the remains of people who died hundreds or thousands of
years ago, such as those in the English Middle Ages or the ancient Greek and Roman
academic world. Ancient DNA samples degrade over time in to fragments, thus reassembling
genome sequences is a very similar process to repairing damaged manuscripts with missing
folio leaves. Since our DNA sequencing technology can sequence ancient DNA, then we
should also restore rare fifteenth century manuscripts that have had their folios worn or torn
6
out. This way we can check how the original sources of philosopher's bibliographies or
references are assembled, so that we can map our variations and expressions of their sciences
accurately, with the correct structures in to the proper domains. This type of analysis has a
parallel in the somatechnic evaluations that harness Wineland's control of atoms through the
biochemical biophysics of stem cell differentiation by atomic force microscopy (AFM). This
evaluation measures the mechanical properties of a cell to measure cellular elastic moduli in
real-time determinations of RNA expression levels as a marker for stem cell differentiation.
AFM data can be used to measure the force curves around cell nuclei to investigate the
feasibility of the cells to differentiate into a broader number of cell types. When Aristotle and
Diogenes Laertius combined the unique properties of other philosopher's writing into their
own work, they checked that these original properties where fully immuno-compatible
in vivo before transplantation ex vivo. It may seem unorthodox to use biotechnological
terminology to describe a textual process that is normally exclusive to classical philologists
and philosophers. The manual protocol steps of biotechnology has evolved and the
parameters of philosophy has advanced so much that the incubation of colonies and media in
pipettes, are now being used for implants to steal the exchange of information between
neurons directly, during the data preprocessing of presynaptic axon terminals and
postsynaptic membranes, for the malicious purpose of secretly eavesdropping on people's
private thinking in real-time without their consent. The molecular machinery necessary for
the docking of synaptic vesicles and the release of the neurotransmitter that they contain are
electro-dense, which is an area where Wineland's biophysics can be applied to help transmit
the stolen data preprocessing of presynaptic axon terminals and postsynaptic membranes to
the thief's hardware, processor architecture or satellite in real-time. Somatechnicity has
evolved to the extent where the freedom of our self-consciousness through the sense of touch
stimuli processed by our primary somatosensory cortex no longer is a sequence of
7
independent experiences, but one dependent on the artificial vectors we call nanoscale
electrodes for mapping electrical neuron activity. Kyoto University, Japan's Teruo Ono has
conducted chemical research in to transferring some of these nanostructure vortices by
electrical means, however Ziliang Carter Lin at Stanford University, USA has applied
Wineland's physics to nanowire transistors that can be manipulated to record the intracellular
electrical signals of targeted cells. Electrical engineers are now using quantum transport in
nanodevices to couple optoelectronic states in quantum dots and vibrations in nanowires, as
quantum coherence is very important for robust electrical conduction in quantum point
contacts. Despite our Stoicism or consciousness of phenomenology, the voltage pulses of our
neurotransmitters are enslaved every nanosecond to the masters of cognitive nano-machinery
and hidden, artificial nanowire transistor implant media in our tissues. Decision making and
the cellular function or physical growth of muscles connected to organs, is no longer
dependent entirely on our interaction with the phenomenology of our natural human
environment - it is now psychonomic towards implanted nanodevice media in our bodies. The
operating strategies of many biochemical engineers has shifted away from medical research
on molecular reactions to phenomenology, to simulate artificial dynamics for cognitive
function decay evaluation for molecular graphics interfaces. A few decades after Hegel
published The Science of Logic, he was appointed Rector of the University of Berlin in 1830.
Elsewhere in Germany, the philologist Christian Reisig had recently died leaving his student
Friedrich Ritschl to continue his professorial legacy of teaching ancient Greek and Roman
classics. Ritschl's Parerga zu Plautus und Terenz (1845) analysed the language of Plautine
manuscripts by suggesting that Titus Maccius Plautus had two semantic relations of sense and
denotation in his comic terms. Ritschl utilised the Ambrosian palimsest to derive the name
Titus Maccius Plautus from Plautine metres that many previous chairs of classical philology
in Germany had missed. As the plays of Plautus are some of the earliest surviving intact
8
works of Latin literature from ancient Rome, an illustration may be necessary before we
progress further in to my analysis of the cognitive criterion of quantum mechanics in ancient
Greek or Roman fragments.

Neurophenomenology as an embodied condition of colloquial styles of poetic wordplay is
what the plays of Plautus allow us to see as the scientific antecedents of situated cognition in
ancient drama.
The study of language and the study of cognition are ancient disciplines, extending
back thousands of years. Often the enquiries have proceeded in isolation from one
another, sometimes as a matter of principle, particularly in the more self-conscious
modern period. (Chomsky: 1997: 15).
Cognitive linguistics through the stage directions of Plautus, has positive implications for the
theoretical physicist Karen Barad's critical reworking of Judith Butler's theories of
performativity in Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of
Matter and Meaning (2007), as rather than these enquiries proceeding away from each other
in isolation, these studies have been integrated in a rather more unified discipline. A project
of completely unified science, despite Barad's elegant attempt and those of other quantum
theorists since Late Antiquity, has not been possible as of yet. It is clear that there is a
rejection of the Stoic, cognitive materialism of Zeno by some phenomenologists. What many
of these phenomenologists failed to take into account, is that quantum theory fused a lot of
physics and chemistry together to explain cognitive science in biochemical terms. Plautus
was often accused of scientific skepticism for mocking the gods in his plays by comparing his
mortal characters to gods like Jupiter, which could be thought of as Plautus questioning the
state control of his plays based on religious, spiritual fallacies or other phenomena without
any tangible, cognitive quality. Counter to my proto-cognitariat labour thus far, is the
phenomenological criticisms of Hubert Dreyfus as a fundamental mode of intentionality.
Dreyfus and I do share some agreement on the most basic level of intentionality, where
intentionality derives from pragmatic activity and practical comportment, however Dreyfus's
phenomenological conception of intentionality does not convince me beyond this. My
11
understanding of intentionality is more aligned with the evolving structure of intentionality
that we see from Tim Crane's elementary exposition in The Mechanical Mind (1995), his
defence of intentionalism in Elements of Mind (2001), which then culminates in a mature
exposition in The Objects of Thought (2013). The culmination of these three books structures
intentionality with a starting point of a non-existent object of thought before defining
different varieties of intentional object, varieties of intentional content, varieties of intentional
mode, propositionalism and existing objects of thought. 'Propositionalism is the thesis that
every intentional state is a propositional attitude' (Crane 2013: 116). What Crane grasps, that
Dreyfus misses, is that non-existent objects or things that are in a state of non-being, when
they are discovered to have a direction on to an object, or undergo a transition in to existence
or being, help science advance forward with a new invention. This process usually results in a
Nobel Prize being awarded. An example of this was on the 31st August 1964, when
The Physical Review of Letters published 'Broken Symmetry and the Mass of Gauge Vectors'
co-authored by Brout and Englert in Brussels, Belgium. Vector mesons where shown to
acquire mass in a vacuum, which later partially inspired Tokyo University of Education,
Japan's Sin-Itiro Tomonaga's work in quantum electrodynamics that won the Nobel Prize the
following year in 1965. A vacuum is a space devoid of matter. The word stems from one of
the Latin adjectives used by Plautus vacuus for void. Italian physicists in the Middle Ages
influenced by Plautus often desribed the spaces between the nine celestial spheres of paradise
as sublime voids, which inspired a literary movement called Dolce Stil Novo coined by Dante
Alighieri in Divinia Commedia (1321). Comedy and our cosmic habitat aside, my position on
intentionality should be clarified in relation to Crane's propositionalism away from the
obscurantist views of Dreyfus. Dreyfus believes that all analysis of intentionality should be
phenomenological and that there are only two possible approaches to intentionality, which are
both German - the Hegelian and the Husserlian! For Dreyfus, skilled behaviour conforms to a
12
rule, however when it becomes a cognitive structure in the brain, one no longer
Follows the rule as a procedure. Crane's objection to this is that Dreyfus is embarking on
logical, unconscious analysis here, rather than existential phenomenology. The systematic
ambiguity inherited by Husserl from Hegel's philosophy between ontology and
phenomenology might be producing inconsistencies in the science of Husserl, as ontology
and phenomenology are often incompatible lexicons. Dreyfus continues this tradition, but
does so without an elementary starting point of physical particles in fields of force, where
some biological carbon-based systems have evolved to have nervous systems with
intentionality. This applicability of semantics to science was transcribed by Alfred Tarski in
The Semantic Conception of Truth and the Foundation of Mathematics (1944). Dreyfusian analysis
is less polemical than Tarski's remarks, however the traditional cognitive science of Tarski,
Dreyfus often finds inadequate. Where Dreyfus, Tarski and myself sometimes agree is on
anaphoras, pure indexicals, polysemous words and lexicalised words – however despite this,
due to the lack of metaphysical science in the descriptive phenomenology of Dreyfus, Crane
still tends to dismiss Dreyfus as a mere teacher of jargon. The content of experience for Crane
is a propositional attitude, following Husserl, towards the object of the experience. Crane also
prefers Tarski's two conceptions of the content of experience: the semantic and the
phenomenological, to the nonconceptual phenomenon of Dreyfus. A survey of the analytical
history of cognitive science's scope must be avoided, as my argument will fall in to a caveat
of Margaret Boden OBE style informatics. Instead my focus will return to the late medieval
chivalric orders of interdisciplinary texts brought to my attention at recent meetings with
John Marenbon in his office at Trinity College, Cambridge University. Cognitive phenomena
as the joint product of our brain and environment is evident in the language use of one of
Dante's favourite source philosophers Boethius. The scholar Boethius, although a Christian,
was a literary and theological author, who worked on treatises continuing the antique heritage
13
of Aristotleian logic. The cognitive rhetoric of Boethius illuminates the cultural literacy of the
Middle Ages that precedes the beginnings of medieval philosophy as a conduit of ancient
Greek ideas to later poets such as Dante. The advantage that Bill Burgwinkle, John Marenbon
and I have over neomedievalists such as Anna Klosowaka, Eileen Joy, Jack Cade, Pru Forrest
and perhaps even Simon o' Sullivan, is that we possess rare collections of incunabula, which
include the original and only surviving copies of many of the world's finest medieval
manuscripts in our library archives. King Henry VIII who founded Trinity College,
Cambridge in 1546, wrote his love letters to Anne Boleyn in French and an original, official
petition letter addressed from the scholars of Trinity's Great Court to King Richard II
approximately in 1390, is archived in our University Library today. We also have a 13
th century Lancelot-Grail manuscript of Arthurian legend once owned by the Knights
Templar, thus we can analyse the original sources of the cultural impact of French on
medieval Europe as perhaps replacing Latin as the global language of commerce and
literature. Many neomedievalists, as they do not consult rare manuscripts or fragments, are
mistaken by the false idea that post-classical Western literature begins with the Renaissance.
Many of the earliest versions of the legends of Arthur were originally written in French, not
Latin or English. The parchment making, medieval palette and illumination process of these
source manuscripts seems to be omitted by Eileen Joy and Jack Cade in their premodern
cryptomnesia. Pope Pius II commissioned and first owned the manuscript Chronica, thus the
wreath at the bottom of the opening folio page is decorated with scroll work and his gold coat
of arms. Critical details like this are often never mentioned by the fraternity of speculative
perspectives on neomedievalism. This is not an attack on the rhizosphere of these
neomedievalist narrators who have emerged out of Georges Bataille's wake, as it is clear that
French theory is a critical part of the unique narrative we have describing King Arthur's reign
in the medieval manuscript treasure archived in our library as MS. Add. 7071. This Arthurian
14
romance directly inspired Dante's Divinia Commedia (1321), however what is perhaps more
exciting is that the manuscript's original 15th century binding is completely intact, despite
much of the glue degrading. The proceedings from the two Speculative Medievalisms
symposia held at King's College, London and City University of New York in 2011, both
failed to analyse fragmented French medieval manuscript treasures (entirely written in
French) and circulated in England. King George I donated some of these rare treasures to
Cambridge University Library after he was bequeathed the archives of the deceased Bishop
of Ely in 1715, containing the earliest version of the Anglo-Norman Tristan legend to survive
to the present. The discussions of Aristotle at the two Speculative Medievalisms symposia
held at King's College, London and City University of New York in 2011, where both
excellent, however the timespan of this variety of neomedieval, meta-historical anachronism
might be short lived. Aristotle's cognitive logic that we see inherited by Boethius, later
influenced Cassiodorus, then Eriugena up until 1100-50 where the tradition manifested itself
again most clearly in Abelard's philosophy of logic. 'When I wrote Early Medieval
Philosophy five years ago, I thought of philosophy as a single, identifiable subject'
(Marenbon 1983:vii). Aberlard perhaps advanced further than Boethius, as Aberlard
developed a propositional logic for cognitive science.
Science advances by discerning patterns and regularities in nature, so that more and
more phenomena can be subsumed into general categories and laws. Theorists aim to
encapsulate the essence of the physical laws in a unified set of equations, and a few
numbers. (Rees 1999: 2).
Bodleian Library, Oxford shelfmarks are always very important in tracing the binding, size of
leaf and provenance of rare pre-1500 printed scientific books that have made significant
advances to our understanding of cognition; however my paths crossed with Lord Martin
Rees at Lady Mitchell Hall, Cambridge – rather than Oxford. We discussed briefly the
15
causation of sense-data and its relation to existential risk with Jaan Tallin (one of the C#.
JavaScript, PHP algorithm programmers who founded Skype) and Huw Price at Lady
Mitchell Hall. This discussion was then debated by myself with various research staff from
the Future of Humanity Institute, Faculty of Philosophy, Oxford - in a pub near Queens'
College, Cambridge. The Gutenburg Bible is the first book printed using type, thus we need
to resist the temptation to engineer our species too much with quantum modifications and
adhere to some of the Vatican's original principles so that we do not potentially erase future
members of our species who might develop cognitive weaknesses such as Stephen Hawking.
My concise, clear and succinct conclusion to this scientific debate is a return to the splendour
of rigid ethical logic, to reclaim cognition from quantum engineering and to respect what is
archived in the purple velvet bound Certaine Sermons (1596) by John Udall embroided in red
for Queen Elizabeth I's Royal Library at Whitehall with her royal coat of arms.
