"Theory In Motive Evolution" (TIME)

It is no easy task to think about the subject of ontological dynamics,
concerning itself with the forces that act on our theories of being,
the changes that are likely to occur in these theories as a result
of the various influences that come to bear on them, along with
the whole array of fixations, frictions, inertias, inhibitions,
impedances, obstacles, obstructions, and resistances that act
in opposition to axioms, beliefs, concepts, or dispositions
of theory being able to change at all.  In view of these
ultimate complexities in the subject it makes sense to
begin our study at the simplest possible level we can.
Accordingly, I will begin with zeroth order theories.
