Principles: African Philosophy, Theory, Method, Procedure

Context

Science is written in any language---African, European, Asian, Arab, Native America---but its principles, laws, tested findings are universally applicable. There is no white science or black science.

The laws of nature can be studied in different ways, but the actual applied principle, law or tested/proven theory is merely the abstract/symbolic written expression of something that is actually happening in reality. The ancient African Kmt scientists/tehuti understood this for over 4000 years. The whites (Greeks, Romans, Arabs) in invading, occupying, and parasiting off the Blacks in the Nile valley did not create science/engineering in Kmt (what they called Egypt), they merely plagiarized, extracted, and translated what the Africans had already researched, tested, proven and applied in that nation for over 4000 years before the invasions. Then they destroyed the African Kmt documents, burned the libraries in Alexandria Kmt, destroyed Black culture and civilization, outlawed its written language, enslaved the Black population, occupied their land, fabricated the history, then began to use only the translated Greek, Roman, and Arab documents exclusively---on us they took turns. Then they completely stopped the scientific education of the Black populations.

It is not accidental therefore that less than 1% of the world's scientists and engineers are African. Black people are last in every scientific/engineering indicator in the world. No African society has ever independently built something as simples a car, computer, train, submarine, or airplane---most do not even know why they should know how to make the necessities of life. The whites (including jews) and Arabs have systematically ensured this critical area of scientific education for their own populations. Because the vast majority of global Black populations are ignorant of science, they do not know how to do modern technological creating---machines, robots, computers---building from scratch machines that build machines that build buildings, cars, trains, hospitals, houses, computers, etc. So even with mineral wealth, without modern manufacturing, Africans are relegated to last in the world in every significant economic indicator. How else could the African Congo be the richest region in the world for mineral wealth and be the poorest nation in the world per capita. This does not have to stay this way. But the Black intelligentsia will have to carry out its historical tasks to change it. In the past they have bee completely dependent and mentally/morally bankrupt when it came to standing tall like the Diops and Obengas of the African world.

This is the standard system in place today in any white/Arab nation. Blacks are discouraged in an applied way from science, engineering, and technology---usually being sent to singing, dancing, sports, clowning, and some other area off the main road of material culture. This is why we have the most mineral wealth in the world yet are the poorest people in the world. We do not know how to technologically create the machines to make anything out of what we have. The whites know this. Most black intellectuals are just happy to have a job working for the white folks or the arabs. They never think about making the technologies the whites let them borrow/lease.

In fact, the Black population in the United States is the richest Black population in the world, yet its investments in hair-frying chemicals, liquor, fake nails, wigs, skin-lighteners/bleach, tennis/gym shoes, jewelery, tire rims and other useless self-hate products equals over $72.5 billion dollars per year, while its total investment in Africa is less than $7.9 million dollars. Black women spend more ($13.8 billion per year) on the hair dresser, getting their hair straightened/fried/lyed/dyed than they spend on tuition for their children to go to college. Black men and women spend more on liquor (percentage-wise) than any other population within the United States except the American Indians. Then these same Black folk blame the white man. Our priorities are wrong. Our worldviews are wrong. Our hearts are where we spend our money---which is usually with the white and arab populations which have historically enslaved us.

The African-centered movement flies Black folk back and forth from European nations, Egypt and other nonAfrican nations every year putting tens of millions of dollars in the pockets of whites and Arabs---while not spending a single dollar to purchase land in Zimbabwe or any other Black African nation being strangled economically by whites and Arabs (because the Africans rose up and took back some of their land). The nearly $410,000,000 spent over the past 30 years of Black travel in North Africa and Europe---joy riding, vacationing, and fantasizing---could have been spent building engineering schools, hospitals, and housing in Africa, for Africans. Why get on a plane and spend $4000 to go somewhere, when you could have invested that $4000 in land, technology, education, housing----a place to live in Africa? Why be so selfish? Our Black children need that money to build schools. Travel has its place; but, if the ultimate goal is liberation, self reliance, African unity, and self-help this is not the way to achieve this. Most come back home and sit around and talk. Not one university/institution built in Africa by these Black travelers who seemingly have money to just throw away. There should be balance. Maat.

Black folk from America could have bought African land and invested in infrastructure. They still can. Instead, nearly five decades have passed and there is little or nothing tangible to show for all the joy-riding---but the whites, arabs and Black tour guides got paid. Not one African college has been built. Not one. This is the central problem of feeding clothing, housing and transporting nearly a billion Black people: Black technology generally is trapped in pre-industrial times. Soberly look into this.

You will need research methods which are not mystical, speculative, eclectic or bias. You will need to be honest with yourselves.

All scientific research methods are abstractions, symbolic representations of unfolding reality summarized into equations, formula and organized as a scientifically verifiable theory. Worldviews are a synthesis of world philosophy. Philosophy is a summary of the conclusions from theories. Theory is scientifically tested and summarized practice formulated from an appropriate research method. Method is the step-by-step, systematic procedures of arriving at that theory. Methodology is the specific procedural stages and phases of a specific research design.

1. Research designs are systematically/sequentially applied techniques for the investigation of a specific research problem. To investigate a research problem, objective conditions must be precisely studied, calculated, weighed, and measured in order to isolate the problem statement.
2. If any scientific problem is to be understood thoroughly, one must go to the very beginning of that problem. Next, the conditions that allowed that problem to develop must be systematically examined, sequentially.
3. In the process, every single stage in the birth, growth, and development of the problem---its natural metamorphosis---must be examined until the solution becomes clear. The solution to any scientifically defined problem is accurate in proportion to the precision, validity, and reliability of the method used to research it.

Essentially, the problem statement, clearly defined, holds the elements of its solution within the problem statement itself. Frame the problem statement accurately and the answer will be at the heart of the question. As a rule, from inception to infancy to youth, through maturity, to old age, to death and eventually to replacement by something higher or lower, all processes can be researched holistically.

Theoretical Foundation

Theories are a series of paradigms, based on tested and proven hypotheses, systematically organized, and logically presented. In every field of science the process of accumulated facts leads to the creation of a theory as a system of knowledge. Theory is not something absolute; it is a relatively complete system of knowledge that changes in the course of its development because it is improved incrementally by adding new facts, testing new hypotheses, and drawing new conclusions.

Theories are systems of generalized authentic knowledge that gives an integral picture of the regularities and essential ties of reality. Theory reflects and reproduces the reality in mathematical, formulae, equation, or quantitative terms while presenting the essential process as a system of interconnected abstractions that reflect/mirror condensed factual summaries.
Theoretical construction arises from generalizations of previous knowledge, including information/data obtained through observations, surveys, meditation, experiment, and already documented facts. Determined by the historical conditions in which they originate, theories adapted to different forms of social reality ultimately become theoretical frames of reference for researchers.
Theoretical frameworks are a series of proven hypotheses, models, paradigms, and inferences organized to form a theoretical guide to action. Theoretical frameworks are a sequence of theoretical propositions, founded on scientifically tested sense data, connected through common concepts, and organized to serve as a frame of reference, a series of guiding principles that serve as the foundation, the context, the guide to action, and the theoretical boundaries and conditions under which the study will be conducted. Scientists can never totally comprehend, mirror, reflect, reproduce, or replicate nature as a whole in its completeness; it is possible, however, to come closer eternally to this by creating conceptions, judgments, inferences, laws, and finally a relative scientific picture of the world.
The research design establishes the guiding principles that allow the study to be conducted in conformity with a set of tried and tested theoretical and methodological principles worked out beforehand and ensuring replication, validity, reliability, and control of the study. Theories need method for systematic verification of test results. The step-by-step procedural system of arriving at theoretical conclusion is organized in the methods of research or the research design:

Method of Inquiry

1. Philosophy is summarized theory; theory is summarized scientific practices; method is the systematic technique of summarizing scientific practices. Ka utilizes the best of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research methods to establish scientific facts.
2. What is meant by the emergence of a new process? The new develops in the womb of the old, reaches a point of conception, fights a life and death struggle for its existence, and in the birth throes of complementary battle comes into being as a new formation. Does the old process die? Yes. However, the adaptable element of it is preserved in the new process. The advanced critical elements of the past must be preserved in the present.
3. The old process with its complementary twin opposites yields to a new higher or lower process with its complementary twin opposites, whereupon a new process emerges later to replace this old one. The old process ends and the new one begins. The new process contains new vital forces and begins its own history of the development of vital forces.
4. Ka Research Methods are a synthesis of (1) the best of modern dualist science, (2) ancient KMT process orientation, (3) African-centered critical assessment based on an intense will toward justice, and (4) a critical preservation of the rational aspect of advanced modern research methods.
5. Moving from objective conditions to a specific problem statement, the criteria for selecting a research problem demands that it be researchable, advances prior research, relates to scientific theory, answers personal research interests, etc.
6. Next the literature on the subject is collected, organized chronologically (C), historically (H) and logically (L). Then a critical assessment of the information from an African worldview must be meticulously completed. Once the literature has been studied, the summary deductions should be kept in lab journals in chronological, historical, and logical order. Next a draft research plan outline, timeline, and feasibility checklist must be drawn up and completed. The organizational task of preparing for each and every research project cannot be understated. Decide which type of research one is attempting to conduct. Move from the literature review and the plan of action to the restoration of this thought matter into its theoretical frame of reference.
7. The theoretical framework has a qualitative and a quantitative dimension that is in unity and in struggle. Follow the process in the literature from its beginning to end, and logically summary its period of birth, death, and rebirth based on the struggle and complementariness of its internal opposites. Relate the problem or process to a body of theory if there is an appropriate one (s). In sum, the theoretical framework can be used to advance an existing theory, create a new theory out of the raw material of the old, or relate the problem to present bodies of theory.
8. In the process of moving from the theoretical foundation for the study, the research must establish how to proceed, what to use when to use techniques, where to use techniques, why and who. This conceptual assessment of the operational elements of the study is necessary in order to determine which research design is most appropriate for studying the sense data. Scientific investigation requires a research design as to achieve systematic detailed reflection of a process in concepts, language, symbols, and diagrams. Research designs are the overall plan of research; the detailed system intended to yield specific unambiguous answers to research questions or to all useful new hypotheses to emerge. A research method is shaped through the interrelationships of culture, class, race, sex/gender, and generation rather than by any independent social element. It is the backbone, the real-life expression of abstract theoretical ideas transformed into practical methods of solving abstract problems of thought. Methods leave their mark on every aspect of scientific theory.
9. The history of research methods is the source in which the flowering plant of scientific theory has its roots. The culture, sex/gender, class, generation, and race are the ever-present yet unnoticed or unrecognized air that the plant breathes. Without an accurate assessment of the composition and unique features of the unique elements of the research design or its function and structure, one cannot redesign hybrids from the conceptual model. Without an understanding of the nature of their grounding in science and their rootedness in the historical legacy of a culture, sex/gender, class, race, or generation, can one understand the need for each population to symbolically view the world via its own independent cultural eyes.
10. Like a raging wind that unrelentingly bends everything in its path but is invisible, mainstream Eurocentric research methods continually reproduce themselves through the producers of studies in the image and interests of the dominant population. Europeans are the dominant and ruling race, gender/sex, class, and culture in the United States. Their ideas dominate in all areas of thought. Yet, their inherent social bias and partisan nature go unrecognized by modern scientists, especially those claiming to be objective and value-free. The ruling ideas of the ruling people in a society live through the methodologically derived justifications for the world as it is, as they see it, and as they want it to be.
11. In essence, methods are living instruments of theoretical problem-solving that quietly traverse their paths from birth to old age and death, continuously renewing themselves, changing their forms and shapes, yet maintaining their umbilical cord to the race, class, gender/sex, culture, and generation that produce them. Greeks, Romans, and Arabs seized KMT thought; it was transported to other continents, and translated, transformed, transmitted and advanced as Western Civilization. The rational scientific kernel was preserved, modified, and advanced to its present world form.
12. Clearly, today Europeans and Asians lead the world in the proliferation of scientific and technological ideas. Only a new epoch, in the process of evolving its own broader theoretical vision, will begin to understand the mental lethargic mass blindness that had shackled the minds of its predecessors. This is such a new epoch. With the emergence of the Scientific and Technological Revolution (STR), many of the common, race, and class-based errors that skewed and distorted scientific conclusions in the favor of oppressor groups are being exposed.
13. This is a global phenomenon. Therefore, after preserving the fundamental concepts of the modern research process, the fundamental stages of the research process must be summarized, with the rational kernel being extracted and persevered.

Research Procedures

14. Selection of a research design depends on the nature of the object under study and the theoretical premise of the study. The latter is formulated in advance in the shape of a study proposal, schedule, and a plan that organizes the aims, problem statement, literature review, theoretical framework, research design, methods, form analysis, quantitative and qualitative means of assessment, and form of presentation of findings. Method is the systematic means of achieving an aim, a definite structure to ordering research techniques, a step-by-step plan of action.
15. No scientific or theoretical problem can be consciously solved without the use of a definite method. The substance of method largely depends on the nature of the objects or phenomena being considered. Methods, the backbone of research designs, achieve this by gathering single facts and accumulating primary data for the purpose of answering selected research questions based on a certain theoretical worldview. Direct observation, questionnaire instruments, and analysis of document or experimental inquiry gather facts. For any research design, the primary objective is to assure that the facts are investigated as accurately as possible and that they actually form, each with regard to the other, different moments of an evolutionary process.
16. It is only after the material has been gathered in all qualities and quantities; the different forms of development have been analyzed, summarized and synthesizes; and the internal relationships have been understood can the objective material flow of the process be systematically described in detail. If this method of study is applied accurately, the essentials of the subject matter can be reproduced in abstraction as if it were a videotaped reflection---in words and symbols.

Principles: Stating a Research Problem

The purpose of research is to study some aspect of the process-to observe it and make some sense out of those observations. So, one of the first steps is to select and define the problem the researcher wishes to study.

It is not unusual for researcher to give six months to a year to finding a specific problem and formulating it for research study. The problem should be presented in a clear, brief statement. So the steps to consider when selecting the problem include:

Identifying the research ability of the problem. Ask yourself, can the potential problem be researched appropriately in order to provide sound conclusions? Also, is the problem limited enough in its scope to test?
Reviewing prior research know the research literature well enough that you know where the cutting edges of the current research are on the topic and /or to validate the significance of your research problem, such as whether it fills a research gap, relates to a wide population or an influential/critical population, or has many implications for a wide range of practical problems.
Determine its relation to scientific theory. Make a review of pertinent theory to the problem area.
Determine its process orientation. Identify how the research will unfold. Will the research process be based on deduction, induction or description? A deductive method involves the derivation of expectations or hypotheses from theories. A deductive process usually involves qualitative data. An inductive method involves the development of generalizations from specific observations. An inductive process usually involves qualitative data. A descriptive method would describe the social process as it unfolds.
Determine its historical significance. Identify what the historical significance of the research problem is. This will assist in the research design.
The researcher will be undertaking a literature review based on a clearly defined research question. A literature review is a systematic, explicit, and reproducible method for identifying evaluating, and interpreting the existing body of recorded work produced by researchers, scholars, and practitioner. The researcher will identify the different views from previous research on the topic, which has researched the topic, when the studies were completed, and what approaches to methodology, instruments and analyses were followed.
The literature review will also identify the need for the researcher's study and the potential for acquiring meaningful results. Sources for the review could include information from such sources as Internet articles/works, books, research articles, and unpublished materials (e.g., dissertations, professional papers.
The researcher should organize the literature review information onto three different contexts: chronological, historical and logical. Chronological organization means organizing the information based on the component of time. The researcher moves from the past to the present to see the building of ideas from past studies to the ideas of the present ones. Putting the literature review information into a historical context is to identify which aspects of history such as the economy; a liberal society, etc. are related to the results of the past research. The third context of the literature are viewed, logical summation, is based on the previous time and event structures.
Putting the literature review information into a historical context is to identify which aspects of history such as the economy, a liberal society, etc. are related to the results of the past research. The third context of the literature review, logical summation, is based on the previous time and event structures. This is a logical ordered summary of what the author has stated based on a critique and summation of the better pieces reviewed.
From the literature review, the researcher will clarify the independent and dependent variables, if necessary. The researcher may have found out from the literature that his/her initial dependent variable could be further broken down into more descriptive variables. Also, a list of independent variables, which has been identified in other research, may be created from the literature review. In these situations, the researcher may clarify his/her independent and dependent variables
Next, the researcher should develop the research plan, which identifies the remaining components of the research process, and draft the research plan timeline. The research plan would include completing a feasibility checklist.
In order to complete the checklist, the theoretical framework and research design, including data collection and analysis methods, have to be identified these are described below. In developing the research plan, the researcher will either: (1) form hypotheses if confirmatory research is being conducted or (2) form questions if explanatory research is being conducted. The research goal will then be the test the hypothesis or to answer the questions identified.

Theoretical Framework

Based on the conclusions of the literature review, the researcher can develop the study's theoretical framework or conceptual model. The theoretical framework attempts to fill in what was not done, based on what has been accomplished to date in the literature. The theoretical framework uses the best pieces of the literature review, finds the wholes or limitations of previous work, and fills in the gaps. The theoretical framework can be based on such theories as conflict theory, African-centricism, symbolic interactionism, and feminist theory.

The theoretical framework can have a quantitative dimension, qualitative dimension, or both quantitative and qualitative dimensions. The dimensions identified here will reflect the types of research design(s) that would be appropriate for the study.
The purpose of the theoretical framework can be to: Relate to a body of theory: If there is not enough historically to advance the given theory, then the framework purpose is to relate a body of theory. Advance an existing theory. If there is enough evidence historically to advance the given theory, then the framework's purpose is to advance an existing theory. Create a new theory: If the evidence is not related to a body of theory, then its purpose is to create a new theory. This could involve starting all over by critically analyzing other's work identified in the literature review.
Conceptual and operational definitions are generally informed by the theory and/or prior research.

African Ideas, Beliefs, Attitudes, Behaviors

The whole of what we know and what we believe is based on history. Our beliefs shape our attitudes. Our attitudes determine our behavior. Our behavior is what we habitually do. What we habitually do creates the body of our life's work. We are judged as individuals, people's and civilization on what we do---our life's work. We inherit a world ready-made when we are born. It is in motion, literally and historically. We are born into movements, deciding whether to be on the regressive or progressive side, the moribund decadent or the nascent new, the rotten or the ripe, the decaying or that which is being born. This is a heavy burden for most, given the circumstances of the time, the epoch, the era, the moment. Moments make people as much as people make moments. Moments and movements are made by people who understand the accurate history of the moment and where they fit in it.

Knowing this, they know just what it is that they can get done. From their mountain view, like great eagles, they know what they must do and what it will take to do it. Greats in history are great in history because they did what had to be done, against all odds, when it was most necessary. They paid the price. With accurate information, technical know-how, preparation and winning strategy---they faced it all, stood tall, measure up, took the blows, and finished strong. What is a human without her/his head, heart and hands? What are we without curricula, courage, concrete deeds? How different our future would be if our education taught how to make cars, roads, buildings, computers, medicines, soap, cloth, shoes, robots, printers, beds, houses, gasoline, guns and butter---with machines doing the work? What if our national goal was modernization toward adequately feeding, clothing, housing, proving health care, transportation, recreation martial art, science education, moral training, etc. to every single African human being on the planet? Then we would set up and educational system to achieve this end.

Today our children go to school with the false assumption that the white man has a job waiting for them if they just get an education and qualify for it. Wrong assumption. Whites do not even have jobs for their own populations. Our children must be taught how life really works; they must be apprenticed into scientific/engineering/technology know-how as was done in ancient time. Get rid of the useless religions of populations who historically enslaved us and replace them with tried-and-tested morality, and moral ethics as was established in ancient African Kmt's Maat.

We have to get to the task of studying our own conditions, writing precise and principled reports, and publishing our findings in various mass media formats. Because world social science and cultural information about the world is not accurate, but is usually biased in the favor of the class, race, sex/gender, and culture that rules the material and intellectual means of creation/production around the world. Europe, Arabia, and Asia write and publish the books, tv movies, film, dvds, and periodicals/magazines for billions of minds.

The physical sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering) are made unusually difficult to navigate given that an African child could master the most rigorous fields and still be kept out of white and Arab controlled applied science employment opportunities---just like whites have systematically kept blacks out of the skilled engineering trades, unions, and apprentices to this very day. Having nowhere in the white and Arab economies to apply their scientific craft (building material culture), Black children are thus robbed of essential motivation, robbed of a reason to brave difficult areas of study, cheated out of their just reward for all of their hard work, never to reach their full potential as human beings. This at the heart of why Black children in white and arab countries do poorly in science, math, engineering, architecture, and manufacturing technologies. They have absolutely no place to apply it. The racist whites/arabs completely dominate these areas as a standard operating procedure.

Having been systematically kept out of applied science, applied mathematics, applied engineering and applied morality whole generations of Africans are robbed of the opportunity for actual independence of manufacturing their own reality. Next, those denied are systematically steered into social protest fields that the ruling race controls. The few Africans that rise to the top of their fields as generals, secretaries of state, judges in white and Arab countries in a period of economic contraction and crisis must be conservative bordering on Nazi, anti-black/anti-African culture, and anti-working class in order to keep their jobs.

Surely, black civilization will not be rebuilt by people benefiting from taking advantage of us.

Once in school, the contributions Africans in world history are minimized, carved up, distorted and outright covered-up. Daily our children are bombarded with mis-education from the tv to the classroom. White and Arab supremacy defamation/distortion tactics are as follows:

Use line-drawings instead of the actual picture of the African artifact.
Draw whitewashed pictures (computer enhanced) and use them to replace the original ancient African reality.
Over expose indigenous African Kmt pictures, making them appear red-skin when they are in actuality brown, dark brown and black.
Ignore or refuse to publish any facts of African history that would not support white supremacy racial theories.
Completely overlook the science that went into engineering, geometry, architecture, hydraulics, geometry, chemistry, and urban planning of ancient Kmt civilization 2950 years before whites and Semites had even small settlements.
Focus on digging up graves, mysticism, mysteries, "gods," magic, spells in African civilization instead of the science, medicine, mathematics, architecture, hydraulics, civil engineering, cosmology, astronomy, chemistry, metallurgy, realistic art, agriculture, federal government, morality and ethics, law, African family relations, etc that flowered for over 4300 years.
Create fake religious, pseudo-scientific, propaganda to confuse those lacking objective, accurate, precise educational preparation.
Flood the world with hastily thrown together African 'histories,' timelines, biographies, and journal articles that contain only European and Arab supremacy propaganda called scholarship.
Rename African people and places converting them to Arab and European names, in the process losing their African meaning, value, worth---converting black to white, and passing off African civilization into white drawings/computer enhanced pictures.
Chop-shop, plagiarize, distort, confuse chronology, reduce age of African civilizations, and purposely mix up times/dates/people/places as to whitewash African civilization.
Attribute any Black civilization to outside white, or semite influence.
When even the works of ancient white and semite historians contradict modern Aryan white supremacy history---discredit them in books, journals, and on dvds.

Lessons From Our Ancient African Kmt Ancestors

Based on the evidence still standing, Kmt had the most advanced engineering/science capabilities in ancient history. In fact even the modern Japanese (in the late 1980's) could not master the architectural engineering necessary to build a 40 foot pyramid, and surely not the 40-story 2.5 million stone Great pyramid built over 5000 years ago.

Advanced sector of scientific African working class

Kmt's applied math, engineering, architecture, and urban planning sciences are the most developed in world history. All of the civilization of antiquity put together never built on the scale of the African Kmt's. These African populations settled along the Nile river moving from south to north. Settled city life facilitated new forms of technologies, such as metalworking, pottery, stone carving, and new forms of social organization. Africans used iron, bronze metals (copper alloyed with tin), and copper as tools of building and weapons. They mined copper in the Sinai copper mines for centuries. Their metalworking involved complicated engineering technologies, including mining ore, smelting, hammering or casting the metal into useful tools. Bronze metallurgy required furnaces with bellows to raise temperatures to 1,200 degrees Celsius.

The whole idealist scaffold for the incorrect belief in pure reason has its genesis in ancient times when the whites were occupying North African translating/transferring stolen/plagiarized African Kmt thought matter (ideas) for over 340 years. Marxian philosophy, theory and method grew out of this theft and misunderstood the Kmtic Ka, which the Germans via Greece called the dialectic.

Before ancient Greece, KMTic researchers in what is now called Egypt over 3500 years ago, established the method of cross paralleled process-orientation via a battle of opposites, transitions from quantity to quality, regression before the leap forward, and the transformation or metamorphosis's of the phenomena. In short, the epistemological, and historical roots of scientific research methods and theory run deep into an African past. Ancient African Kmt is the source.

This is a universal worldview, a new science, one of grasping opposites in their unity and struggle, one of photographing and video taping processes in their frozen, fluid, sequential motions being transformed from quantities to qualities, one of presenting the positive in the birth, death, and rebirth cycle, an ever spiraling majestic process that ends only to begin anew as something higher. The total course of exposition is a long, tedious, tiresome course. Many years of study are required just to master Ka's vocabulary, many more to begin to understand what is said, and what it means, and how to apply it to various types of reality.

The result is an scientific Kmtic cosmology that, for masses of people, is abstruse in the extreme but follows the pattern of development through inner conflict, the very moving principle of the world. The movement of thought, is the same as the movement of being, the same laws that apply to nature also apply to logic.

Everything is therefore transitory in the endless course of development from the lower to the higher, in which the things apparently stable go through an uninterrupted change of coming into being and passing away, in which, in spite of all temporary retrogression, a progressive development asserts itself in the end.

Ka had the unity and struggle of polar opposites within the same unity, quantitative maturation to a new quality, regression before the leap and metamorphisis/reincarnation/transformation. Giants in thought such as Hegel (idealist) and Marx (materialist) took the unity struggle of opposites (uso), (q1-q2), and negation of the negation (n1-n3) and left out the regression before the leap (rbl) Today, Marxism has collapsed and is in open disintegration, specifically the Eurocentric interpretation of historical fact and the poorly elaborated so called dialectical method.

The rbl is central today.

1. Historical reality demonstrates that a regression takes place before the leap. Why?
a. The essence of development involves an internal unity and struggle of opposites; one of which is dominant and the other subordinate, initially.
b. The unity and struggle of these internal opposites is responsible for quantitative development of a given phenomena (material, ideal, etc.) in a particular direction.
c. At a point in its development, the phenomenon nears the quantitative limits of its quality.
d. The closer that this phenomenon moves toward its limits, the more it begins to experience instability.
e. This instability leads to a period of decay and deterioration.
f. During decay, the quantitative parameters that defined the characteristic limits of the phenomenon (thereby differentiating it from other phenomena) break down.
g. This break down is what we call a regression.
2. Regarding the Kheperu.
a. As a phenomenon nears its qualitative limits, it goes through the period of decay, instability, and regresses as described above.
b. This regression represents the stage when the characteristic boundaries of its present qualitative form must give way so that the new quality can be born.
c. In other words, the quality that is dying is being negated by the change in the internal conditions for its existence
d. Transformation is the act or process of negating something, destroying, nullifying it.
e. Metamorphosis, transformation, reincarnation

The epoch in history which today ushers in the 21^st century is much different from the epoch that ushered in capitalism and the 19^th century of Hegal, Marx, and later Russian and Chinese philosophers. . As the Industrial Revolution necessitated the scientific developments of that epoch. Each mental image of the world system is and remains in actual fact limited, objectively by the historical conditions and subjectively by the physical and mental constitution of its originator.

The whole idealist scaffold for the incorrect belief in pure reason has its genesis in ancient times. Although the likes of Socrates, Plato, Protagoras, Aristotle, Galileo, Spinoza, Bacon, Descartes, Kant, Darwin, Hegel, and Marx were some of the most encyclopedic Western minds of their time, they were limited first by the necessarily limited extent of their own knowledge and second, by the limited extent and depth of the knowledge and conceptions of their moment in history. Just racist lies are at the foundation of the Greek Miracle in its nazi or radical Marxist pole. Nearly 500 years of intellectual careers went into evolving this fraudulent anti-history. Rigorously, since as early as 1750bc, big names such as Friedreich August Wolf, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Hegel, Hume, Marx, De Gobineau, Barthold Niebuhr, Maspero, Breasted, Toynbee, all consciously or unconsciously had an early hand in furthering the misconception that everything, including KMT (Egypt), was a metaphysical mess until scientific Greece miraculously came along and created science, research methods, philosophy, mathematics, architecture, writing---everything of significance to world civilization.

The content of such distorted elements of social history is now under attack on an international level. To address to problem, all history must be studied afresh by teams of interdisciplinary intercultural researchers, the conditions of existence of the different formations of society must be examined individually before the attempt is made to deduce from them the technological, economic, political, social, cultural, civil-law, aesthetic, philosophic, religious, moral, ideological, and intellectual views corresponding to them. Up to now little has been done here because only a few scientist have seriously approached the problem in scope and content.

Like the formulaic mathematical procedures, medicine was practiced using prescriptions related to the underlying causes of problems. The prescriptions are structured around the questioning of a patient, then proclamation of the symptoms, followed by a stock remedy. They included: The structure of the body, diseases, the instruments of doctors, remedies, the diseases of the eyes, and diseases of women.

Kmtian astronomy evolved out of the need to establish the exact periods of time deemed indispensable for the performance of certain rites. In the mortuary service, astronomical observations played a significant part, in view of the links deemed to exist between the dead and celestial bodies and the need to compile a simple chronology on behalf of the occupant of the tomb. The invention of the calendar provided an ecclesiastical year or a calendar of festivals, which listed dates for observances and sacrifices. Astronomy not only developed in this way, but also was kept alive by the continuous observations necessary to fulfill the requirements of time management of a great civilization. Even the science of cartography, in its earliest representations, was concerned with the geography of this world and the afterworld. It was designed to serve as an aid to the dead on their journey and can be found on the bottoms of Middle Kingdom coffins. By the Ramesside period, five hundred years later, were maps compiled for economic or other practical purposes, such as the plan of the gold mines at Wadi Hammamat.

Mathematics was supported by the state's temple authorities and it was a critical tool for organizing and maintaining Kmt's agricultural economy. The administrative nature of mathematics also explained the Kmtians' tradition of recording verbal and quantitative information in the form of lists. They were analytic or theoretical treatises, and examples for solving problems encountered in administrative and building works.. The Kmtians of 3,700 BCE to about 1,300 BCE used a symbolic hiertic number system. The symbols were combined to form intermediate numbers and formed a base-10 system that was positional. Kmtian numbers used separate signs for the decimal numbers and place value.

The Kmtian system used addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, along with a method of duplication, an approach of multiplication by doubling and redoubling numbers. They also arrived at a superior calculation of pi, 256/81 or 3.16, and developed tables that facilitated working with fractions. The development and evolution of advanced mathematics by the priestly classes and the practical applications by the scribes of Kmt existed thousands of years before invasions of this African civilization by Europeans, Semites, then Arabs---this African civilization which had reached such perfections, though its 42 dynasties continued until the time of Alexander the Great, passed it s zenith more than 3,800 years ago.

The intrinsically correct conception of the world is that of KMT philosophy/cosmology. Birth, growth, development, decline, death and rebirth was to be established throughout KMTian philosophy

The principles of the transformation of quantity into quality and vice versa; the interpenetration of opposites and struggle of contradictory aspects; regression before the leap; then the reincarnation/transformation/metamorphosis was first developed in African Kmt over 2000 years before it is identifiable elsewhere in the world in a less developed form.

What This Means Today For Applied African Science

Women and men make their own history, but they do not determine what is made just as they please; they do not make their own history under circumstances that they themselves determine, but from conditions directly transmitted from the past. Understanding of this limitation will minimize mistakes in the present and future. It is not what one may want to do in history that ultimately gets done; it is what one is able to do, based on the moment in history bequeathed them. Imagine Einstein being born as an Indian, living on an Oklahoma Indian reservation in 1896. He could have never discovered E=mc2 under those conditions, given the process of extermination and the illegality of technical education on reservations in America at the end of the 19^th century.

In the face of such accelerated change, a system of thought and inquiry must be fashioned to reflect modern epochal changes in their fullness. Here a new historiography, philosophy, theory, method or general approach to social development is an immensely valuable tool for both understanding and stimulating human history. For starters, an approach suffused with the confidence of being rooted in he historical development of philosophical, theoretical, and methodological ideas is necessary.

Second, an advanced approach must also be flexible and elastic in its collection, organization, analysis, and synthesis of ideas. One should never attempt to reduce the historical flow of reality to the mere ranting of those who claim to know all from their time of birth. From existence we get to logic and not necessarily the other way around. Science has shown consistently that human cognition can discover logical formations in reality only because the objects of cognition possess them in the first place. Theory, therefore, is the systematic summarize practiced. The material object of thought is, therefore, the object of some relative expression of reality. Essentially ideas and real theoretical concepts categories are not more eternal than the unique historical conditions that they express. In sum, the essence, the heart, the foundation of any concrete theory that is reflective of reality is practice. Practical verification is the fundamental raw material of scientific theory, whereas theory is the fundamental guide to practice.

Therefore, social philosophy, theory, or method is measurable based on its actual practical application to reality. One purpose of progressive social theory and method is to provide that knowledge of social tendencies that will most effectively liberate the actions of those who suffer the "slings and arrows of unrighteous misfortune." Fundamentally sound social theory, therefore, is not speculative insight into the past and present; it paves the way for prospective anticipation of the future based on a factual/logical summation of the past and present in such a frame as to deduce means and method for the improvement of the future. It explains why the present is what it is, based on the past in order to improve it. It liberates.

Since every philosophy, theory, or method has its own material foundation in history, no matter how metaphysical the disguise in which they often masquerade, a truly liberating criticism has always involved improving the material conditions, which are at the very foundation of the social groups and the thoughts that they think. The new progressive humanist theories of the future will succeed not merely because they represents objective reality, are interculturally uplifting, morally sound, driven by justice, unrelenting in will, centered in historical intercultural values of mutual respect and commitment to human excellence, but also because they serve the needs of humanity and the social conditions which produce those needs.

Liberating social philosophy, theory, and method becomes realized in a people only in so far as it is the realization of their real life needs. In any society in which race, sex-sex/gender, class, and generation divisions give rise to conflicting needs, values, cultural forms and ideas, each race, sex-sex/gender, class, and generation sets itself up as a representative of the common interests of the entire society. The ruling, race, sex/gender, class, culture and generation officially define what it means to be an American. Therefore, each race, sex-sex/gender, class, generation develops a worldview and ideology, which it holds to be universally true and around which it seeks to impose as the view of the entire society. Usually, the group with the force---the military, political, psychological, and intellectual might---rules. Those who have power influence the gradual flow of history: they write the books, they make the videos, and they finance mass media versions of the reality as they see it.

From this class, race, gender/sex, culture, and generation assessment it becomes clear that the claim of African-centeredness is not enough---it is the view of a specific social group, which ultimately means nothing scientifically. Each class has a view; each ethnic group has a view; each sex/gender has a view; each generation has a view; each culture has a view. Possessing and being able to articulate historical or cultural information are not enough. Debating intelligence is not enough. The question is: What historical legacy and class, gender/sex, race, culture, and generation worldview does the idea represent? If not scientific, it is not replicable, and thus merely an ideologically abstract means to a speculative end. Therefore, scientific research, using the most advanced and bias free techniques known to human kind, must be completed and partisan political, cultural, racial, sex/gender, and generation positions must be taken. Next, concrete programs of action must be organized, implemented, tested, and practiced.

We can overcome this with independent African-centered study cooperatives. Through a will to justice with science African civilization will stand on its feet again. It must sing its own songs in its own languages, it must build its own architectural structures in its own image based on the great examples set in antiquity, it must think its own thoughts, meditate to its own supreme ancestors, it must build its own factories, make its own cars, design its own cities, pave its own highways, plant its own food, create its own moral texts, create its own philosophies and cosmologies, etc.

Petty side battles with whites passing as blacks and blacks passing as whites are of no consequence. Meaningless intellectual chatter with racists is a waste. The greatest dreams of our ancestors can become true, but only when we break completely with dependence on populations which have historically harmed us. Start your own study cooperatives. Research your topic. Draw inferences. Write summary reports. Prepare for publication. Help to bring African civilization back to life in this world.
