Taken as a whole, as a fully inter-active process-in-laminated product
functioning in an open systemic totality, and therefore to be considered as
neither autogenetically produced nor even constellationally closed, but
rather as a provisional outcome of a heterogeneous multiplicity of changing
mechanisms, agencies and circumstances, and given that the product forming
process is generally non-teleologically causal, only socio-spherically
conceptual (embodying the Taylorian 'Cosmic Geist'?), a structuratum,
heteronomously conditioned, John Roberts must be taken to be a complexly
stratified person, an agentive self of multiply determined component
streams, arrays and aspects of consciousness, full of discordant, disjoint
or coupled rhythmics bound into sub and partial totalities, important ones
of which involve eidetic meandering among dialectical pluriverses of
linguistic structuration (and, what cannot be ignored, of the terrain, or
transformative field, hierarchically contested and provisionally
unavoidable, of master-slave relations), but which also disclose a
taxonomically irreducible mode of concretely singular charm, or of meaning
transparent, though higher order, dapper-uniqueness, rarely disjoint, and
often coupled with exotic alterity, though 'West'ern in origin, and hardly
'sublime' or 'exquisite', terms which seem dualistically disembodied
reifications unavailable except solipsistically, as a moment of diremption
and hypostatized self-alienation.  That said, there is a self-reflective
overcoming or non-preservative sublation manifested in existentially
constituted insights we can only hope will transcend an undeniably laudable
youthful ambition -- and so much the more powerfully if this be through a
dialectical absenting of absences undertaken without recourse to any
nescient pseudo Nietzschean, not to say eminently autosubversive,
Oedipal-Circean, cognitive-affective-conative-expressive-performative vector
designed to detotalize the sectile fundament of Papaverian towering,
undermining the Umwelt on which his own self-emancipatory praxis, from
initially formed and continuing primary dyadization or polyadization to
eudaimonic flourishing, depends.
