Historical vectors of metaphysical structure are examined throughout with a chronology that begins with the prehistory of humanity and covers a variety of themes including free will, big data determinism, artificial intelligence, ethics, and more. Not without rhetoric, the classical influence of ancient Greece is emphasized with updated perspectives advocating for the inclusion of ecological collapse, global burning, and animal rights. Intellectually poetic, the writing celebrates the love of Sofia and and the collective corpus that we call consciousness.
