What I find most affronting about your ideas is that they are always non-committal. But you are not the first to have mastered this concept - that of building ideas off other ideas. Speusippus (Plato's successor of the Academy in Athens, and Aristotle's less-famous peer), also believed in the concept of "fluxion". Take the following:
"Speusippus believes that _conceptually_ we derive the line from the point, the plan from the line, and the solid from the plane. This is the meaning of his statement that the point is the first principle of magnitude, the line the second, the plane the third, the solid the fourth. The conceptual derivation of magnitudes ultimately from the point he probably explained by his theory that the line is the 'fluxion' of the point, the plane of the line, and the solid of the plane...." (p. 55, _Speusippus of Athens: A Critical Study with a Collection of the Related Texts and Commentary_, by Leonardo Taran, E.J. Brill Publishers, Leidon, The Netherlands, 1981).
But if we follow this derivative quasi-scientific mode of thought, then we will always remain in the infinitude of 9's that exist between material integers; example: 1.999...,2.999...,3.... The Golden Key to your entire body of work is as follows: you overlook the useful element of vanity, which is potential productivity in the future. Thus the Cult of the Personality is important thanks to its bond to possible prosperity for Life.
