Reading Path
SPLectrum is a philosophical project built from a small set of principles about language, subjects, and how they relate. The core claim is that reality is plural — made of many interacting vocabularies — and that the interaction between them is what creates new understanding. No single vocabulary owns the truth. No discipline sits above the rest. SPLectrum calls this position interrelational pluralism, and everything on the site grows from it or sits in conversation with it.
Where to start reading
Three blog series run through SPLectrum’s development:
- The positioning series — where SPLectrum sits in relation to existing thought. Figures and traditions SPLectrum draws on, engages with, and distinguishes itself from.
- The seed series — the six foundational principles, unpacked one at a time. What the principles are, how they fit together, and what they produce.
- The reality series — the metaphysics built in the open. The five pillars from the subject’s seat: how reality is disclosed, what values emerge, how diverse subjects live together.
How the site is organised
The nine sections on the homepage each do different work. Two are worth knowing about first. Positioning is the site’s reference layer — it holds persons and subjects A–Z that introduce figures and subjects of importance to SPLectrum, alongside topic-driven pieces that place SPLectrum in conversation with them. Reality is the heart of SPLectrum’s own account, as systematic philosophy — three core values, belonging, privacy and creativity, and the five pillars of the metaphysics they disclose, built from the subject’s seat. The same thinking in everyday language is the job of Real Life, a section still filling out.
The other sections all contain SPLectrum’s own work too. For more detail on how they fit together, see The 9-Box Homepage.
