Open Veils · Answer
Generative reciporcity, Polymonism and Ethoseros and first principles and first values?
The terms 'Polymonism' and 'Ethoseros' do not appear in Open Veils' reliable record as established frameworks — they may be neologisms, emerging coinages, or variant spellings of adjacent systems. The broader cluster of ideas they gesture toward — generative reciprocity, Eros as first principle, relational ontology — has deep roots in esoteric, process-philosophy, and newly emergent post-functional paradigms. The question is pointing at something real even if the exact labels are unverified.
Evidence
- The concept of Eros as a cosmological first principle — not merely romantic but as the primary generative force of existence — runs from Hesiod's Theogony through Plato's Symposium and Phaedrus into the Neoplatonists, particularly Plotinus, who treated Eros as the soul's fundamental orientation toward The One.
- Manly P. Hall's encyclopedic work on Hermetic and Pythagorean traditions identifies reciprocity — generative exchange between opposites — as a structural law of all manifest reality, not merely a social virtue.
- Terence McKenna's notion of the 'Logos' as an attractor pulling existence toward novelty, and Rupert Sheldrake's morphic resonance as a reciprocal field between organisms and their patterned past, both independently ground generative reciprocity as a first principle operating beneath conscious intention.
- Rudolf Steiner extended this into what he called 'spiritual economy,' where love-as-force drives cosmic evolution rather than mere thermodynamic process.
- This maps directly onto what the World Philosophy and Religion journal (Jan 2026) lists as 'First Principles and First Values of Reality,' explicitly naming Eros, desire, attraction and repulsion, intimacy, creativity, and paradox as ontological primitives rather than derivative concepts.
