However, what would this 220 year-old tetradic process flip into when pushed to the extreme?
What is the fourth-level effect?
Naturally, it would be the Pentad. The pentad incorporates the knowledge that the satellite environment prefigures the fusion of "first nature" and "second nature". This is an awareness that is generally only possible after 1977 when everything and all media have disappeared. The pentad, you could say, is the tetrad "squared", or made self-conscious. As spelled out by Frank Zingrone in Volume One, No.1, of McLuhan Studies (1991), the pentad adds the syncretic, or fusion, factor to the tetrad. This is not something I could publicly admit before 1992, and would not reveal to Prince Charles, one of my main factional rivals on the Secret Council of Ten until 1988 when I defeated him, with the help of the Xists, for the senior position of Chairperson on the Secret Council. His public humiliation was inevitable after that and peaked in June 1992, six weeks after the release of Bob's Media Ecology on April 22. The pentad was usefully applied from 1977 to 1992 and the exegesis of its nature by Zingrone in 1991 shows its obsolescence by that year. But the exclusive nature of this memo is to reveal the use of the Decad today and its role in locking-down the "Adam and Eve" fact manifested in the clairvoyant/-audient/-sentient/-kinetic achievements of myself and Connie.]
