The Garden of Earthly Delights and Disjointed Memories (with thanks)


True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories.

Professor Mundeign's scientific, social and literary reviews are divided into several categories: part one of the catalogue deals with 1/ misinformed memory and cognitions (a subdivision of cognitive laminate theory), 2/ political rhubrics and historical detritus, 3/ Wernickan linguistics. (A full map of the catalogue is being drawn up, and will be available to coincide with the Chilcot Inquiry).

The End of the Magus


Professor Mundeign's Catalogue will appear early in November. As noted earlier, this catalogue will list and review the works of Professor Yorvik Mundeign, Tungsten Fellow in Speculative Cross-cultural Hermeneutics, presenting an accessible summary outline of reference  which would allow the interested reader to find their way through the immense library of his work.

Balance in nature


In 1974, in a paper called 'If everyone pulled in one direction, the world would tip over', Professor Mundeign reviewed the then developing interest in the Gaia hypothesis, and in passing predicted the Daisychain mathematical modelling of the theory.

On names

Professor Mundeign's article on the influence of names on inspiration has unfortunately been lost. However Messrs. Gugglepicks, the printer in Lewis High Street, did keep the original plate that was used to illustrate the article. It is reproduced here with partial permission.


 Live long and prosper.

Deja Vu and Cognitive Laminate Theory


In his review of metastudies on Deja Vu and Memory, Professor Mundeign found literature he was sure he had seen before. This research posited that there were significant links between Synaesthesia and Deja Vu, and that the subjective experience of familiarity was stronger amongst Artists and Mathematicians. The theory was developed in the DomTom by Sue Cathmel, who suggested that the phenomenon was based on the superimposing of different perceptual traces on the same underlying cognitive unit. This is derived from Cognitive Laminate theory.

Just in passing


Professor Mundeign spent 15 years trying to determine exactly what happened during the first second after the Big Bang. He had reached only the first nought point nought nought three milleseconds by the night of his 39th birthday. After an unfortunate incident with an antique sewing machine and some illicit drugs, he abandoned his quest, and retrained himself in the newly budgeoning field of Applied Cultural Hermeneutics, a discipline which eventually became the keynote and defining speciality of the East Rainham Polytechnic, a Victorian institutition which has latterly been reborn as the National Institute of Cultural and Empirical Hermeneutics, of which Mundeign is now Director.

The Catalogue


This catalogue lists and reviews the works of Professor Yorvik Mundeign, Tungsten Fellow in Speculative Cross-cultural Hermeneutics. Following the publication of the complete academic works of Professor Mundeign, it was felt necessary by the editors to produce an accessible summary outline of reference  which would allow the interested reader to find their way through the immense library of his work. At the same time there was scope to bring together the increasing appreciation of his work in peer reviews and other evaluative commentary.
