In this box you will find the compact, usually
shorter version of the note as it appeared in the
text trailer of the
Main Document in the
month concerned.
It is presented with both left- and
right-alinement*.
The paragraph below the box contains the full,
usually longer version of the same note.
It is presented without attempting to
achieve a complete right-alinement* for any screen, window or
frame wide enough to accommodate any two
successive words or orthographical syllables
in the text on one line.
(Such a text justification can only be
accomplished correctly by means of soft or 'shy'
hyphens which may make possible search terms
impossible to find.)

A New Denominational Paradigm
A new paradigm grows healthy and independent by going
its own way, by creating unique functional and symbolical
connections, by asking also previously
unheard-of questions, and by answering them as
adequately as possible from the new-found position of
vantage.
A new worldview with the status of a
denominational paradigm
is not a finished product of thought in all detail.
The major differences with the one or more old
denominational paradigms should be clear enough,
but if the rejection of the old
paradigm(s) is its main, or even
sole, raison d' être, this does not contribute to its
independent existence; it is rather a way of parasitizing
on what others offered, and continue to offer.
A new paradigm grows healthy and independent by going its
own way, by creating unique functional and symbolical
connections, and by answering reasonable questions as
adequately as possible from the new-found position of vantage.
In doing so it also poses previously unthought-of questions,
and gives previously unthought-of answers.
No special, let alone excessive, interest in any
anti-system of thought as
such will help to deepen and broaden the new doctrine
enduringly.
On the contrary, the more attention is paid to one or more
incompatible and state-stealing religions or other
such decrepit, or not yet decrepit, belief
systems the longer the old ghosts will loom large.
And the less time and resources will be left for a fruitful further
development of the new paradigm itself.

Months with
a Neutral Name
The three months with a neutral name in particular should not be made
to suffer from any special attention paid to one of the
anti-ideologies of the neutral Norm.
There are
four Days of Neutrality, but
of the thirteen
Metric Months, there
are three months with a neutral
Model name: Northern
Equinoctial, Equatorial and Southern Equinoctial Month, about one
quarter of the total number.
Since there are nine (without Northern Early Yule) or ten (with Northern
Early Yule) left to allow a focus on
the Ananorm's
anti-ideologies or
anti-systems of thought
the three months with a neutral name in particular
should not be made to suffer from any special attention paid to one of
the anti-ideologies of the neutral
Norm.
Such an attention may be justifiable because of a
unique event which is taking place, or something that has just
happened in the month (or in the period of less than two months)
involved, but not when it concerns a much longer period of time,
let alone the centuries or millenniums the anti-ideology
has already been in existence.

Primary versus Secondary
Importance
Normists defend the primacy of norms or values over authority.
If, and when, they regard authority as important,
then only in an instrumental not a primary,
fundamental sense.
Normists defend the
primacy of norms or values
over authority, divine, devilish, a mixture of the two, or other.
If, and when, they regard authority as important (that is, of
secondary importance), then only in an instrumental, not in a primary,
fundamental sense.

Is
80 Any Interesting?
What counts in the radix-10 system is that 80 = 8*10, and
that other numbers between 71 and 89 are not of the same
interest.
In the radix-16 system it is that 80 = 5*16, and that other
numbers between 65 and 95 are not of the same
interest.
The weight of such an interest depends on the reason
for using the numeral system in question.
So long as 80 deserves no more attention than 79, 81 or any other
number, integer or natural number, 80 is simply a number which
equals 79+1 and 81-1 on the zero-level of iteration, which is the level
of addition and subtraction (where nothing is
repeated).
Also on the first level of iteration, the one of
multiplication and division,
80 is just 1*80, 2*40, 4*20, 5*16 or 8*10 and vice versa, while 80
(unlike 4, 8 and 16) does not play a role on the higher levels of
iteration.
When 80 arouses an attention for which there is no
independent substantive reason, it is because 80 is in a
sense thought or felt to be 'numerically significant'.
What counts in the radix-10 system is that 80 = 8*10, a multiple of 10,
albeit an ordinary one.
Nevertheless, the fact that 80 = 5*16 as well gives the
number 80 the same type of numerical significance in the
radix-16 system.
From the point of view of numerical significance 80
attracts more attention than 71 to 79 and than 81 to 89 in the radix-10
system, but not more than 70 and 90.
In the radix-16 system, however, 80 attracts more
attention than 65 to 79 and than 81 to 95, but not more than
64 and 96.
Whether the number 80 also deserves the extra attention it
arouses depends ultimately on the quality of the reasoning by which the
radix(es) of the numeral (super)system were or —more
importantly— will be chosen.
