Book just found: Schematic Structures, 1982

I have been obsessed with schematic philosophy since my 1958 paper "Schematics, Systematics, Normatics". (More on history below.) THIS IS THE BEST WRITEUP, just found. It is dense but coherent and comprehensive (except for a couple of key subjects, merely mentioned at the end). I express the hope of creating a "lingua franca" for discussing ideas. Not very likely but a grand scheme. This was written at Datapoint in San Antonio in December 1982. (I worked on this at the office nights and weekends.) T he date of the printout is 29 May 1984 (probably as I was leaving the company.) === I have repeatedly tried to write up schematic philosophy, under such titles as "Truth, Man and Choice" "The Whole Thing" "The Ranges and Changes of Ideas / The Caring and Daring of the Human Soul" "Principia Schematica" "Swirliverse" and finally my PhD thesis, "Philosophy of Hypertext." My huge 1961 cut-and-paste manuscript (abbeviated "WT" for "The Whole Thing") is at the Archive-- https://archive.org/details/wtpasteup (this shows true cut and paste, by the way).
