GLOBAL CULTURAL EVOLUTION - PART 1: TOWARDS A UNIFIED FIELD THEORY OF 
HUMAN BEHAVIOR - Marcus Abundis

This paper develops a new structural psychology, and therein proposes a 
specific model for the scientific study of consciousness. The presented 
model uses Earth's geologic history of mass-extinction & recovery 
(evolutionary dynamics) in determining humanity's adaptive response 
(conscious and non-conscious traits). It argues humanity adaptively 
mirrors Earth's basic evolutionary dynamics, in a “mythologizing of 
natural adversity” as foundation for all human knowledge – a process 
that continues well into the modern era.

COMMENTARY ON PETER COLLINS' RIEMANN
HYPOTHESIS ARTICLE - Elliot Benjamin

As a mathematician and philosopher, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Peter 
Collins' recent Integral World article: A Deeper Significance: Resolving 
The Riemann Hypothesis. Peter is obviously a capable and experienced 
mathematician with an ingenious capacity of relating deep mathematical 
ideas to philosophical and spiritual contexts. His radial mathematics 
theories that include both quantitative and qualitative dimensions to 
mathematics, utilizing both logical and circular thinking frameworks, 
is certainly fascinating reading, at least for anyone like me who has 
serious interests in both mathematics and philosophy. 

However, the mathematician in me does take issue with some of Peter's 
recommendations and claims regarding the solution of the Riemann 
Hypothesis, as well as his suggestion that other famous historical 
mathematical problems involving prime numbers are unsolvable in the 
logical mathematical framework in which mathematics has always been done.
