Meta-Models (Ep. 1: Bruce Alderman & Layman Pascal)

In this inaugural episode of the new META-MODELS series, Bruce Alderman and Layman Pascal introduce their own meta-theoretical systems -- Integral Grammatology and The Metaphysics of Adjacency -- and extend an invitation to other meta-theorists in the integral, metamodern, and critical realist communities to come on The Integral Stage to talk about their work. The Meta-Models series will launch in earnest in late November or early December, but we wanted to post this early to introduce the project and invite potential contributors.

Why am I here?
I guess just to demonstrate the fact that emotional Lines and Cognitive Lines don't necessarily correspond.
Esp. when I'm ignored.

Great conversation.

I didn't catch the name of the CR theorist Bruce was talking about concerning the progression of orientations?

Just wow. I'm trying to conceive of a more ambitious and all encompassing intellectual project, but maybe it will take the fruition of the map of all maps of models that model maps that map themselves to bring that into view :) But seriously, do you think there is an end point to meta-modeling or is it non-exhaustible? Or both, haha.
