Note:  The following material is philosophical in nature.  As a result, it may prove difficult to understand. If that turns out to be the case, just return to the main text.  This material is not essential to a general understanding of the Eden project.  I have included it solely for those who need the extra insight required to embrace this proposal. 

Reason is innately dependent upon an idea that exceeds its capability to understand. That idea ties reason's ultimate definition of itself to the necessity for order within the unknowable.  Without recourse to this association, reason cannot link difference (non-being and being) in a cause and effect relationship.  This is because simultaneity does not, by necessity, admit of succession -- a precursor for relevance and hence reflective thought.

Reason overcomes this obstacle by way of dichotomy -- a linear representation of simultaneity that employs self-canceling aspects of difference within the same idea. To achieve this substitution, reason necessarily alters the form of the absolutes, non-being and being, causing them to take on a relevance (to being) in the form of something and nothing.  'Nothing' thereafter constitutes the possibility for singularity in idea whereas 'something' constitutes the possibility for multiplicity.

The use of dichotomy exacts a heavy toll upon reason.  Once singularity and multiplicity are merged, reason is unable to understand the relevance of either -- since both potential controls now become unknowable. Because reason's purpose (for itself) is not inherent to its construct, but results from reflection upon its function, its purpose is thereafter lost to itself.

In an attempt to identify a logical approach capable of encompassing 'order within the unknowable,' reason inevitably turns to chaos. It then pursues chaos in the form of infinite difference, spawning a complexity that inevitably exceeds the temporality upon which mortality depends for self-recognition.  This makes reason's process inherently self-destructive. If reason wants to survive itself, it must learn to contain its predisposition to complexity.  If it does not do so, it will inevitably destroy itself, because it lacks innate internal controls that would otherwise prevent it.
