Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms

Eschatological Hypothesis

An hypothesis framed in the propostion that a meaningful end is in the realm of the possible and definitely in the realm of the desirable. The hypothesis sees the resolution of the becoming (of reality) into Omega Seed , that is, into the reawakening of all the past in a state of total self revelation.

Since the truth is in the making (it is not a given) for the obvious reason that reality itself is in the making and the reality is the only arbiter, in fact the only "definer" of the truth (if it is), the eschatological end is not pre-defined, preordained, predestined, predesigned (all of those are from the realm of mandate from above). Therefore the hypothesis has no guarantee tags in the sense of what and why. The grassroots procedure is the one that might develop the Howness conducive to the slow emergence of the what and why, that is, of what the desirable could be.
