THE ABSENCE OF FOUNDATIONS. AN EXPERIMENT IN STRANGE THINKING. PART I
This work presents a reflection on strange thinking—on strong thinking, a tradition lost in the depths of time. This part explores specific foundations and, at the same time, their absence when attempts are made to uncover them through weak means. It examines particular forms of adequacy and inadequacy, folly, and immersion in madness—that is, all that arises from the total absence of foundations in the unfolding process. Additionally, it considers various forms of peculiar thinking and everything concealed behind different manifest dialogues, including this very discussion on foundations.
THE UNFOLDING AND THINKING, THE MYSTERY OF THE SPIRITUAL. AN EXPERIMENT IN STRANGE THINKING. PART II
This part explores questions related to the spiritual and the ongoing attempts to unravel the mystery of thought. It also presents a mode of thinking linked to specific efforts aimed at uncovering the foundations of science, as well as the persistent aspirations to understand the possibility of solving the problem of strong artificial intelligence.
ON DISTINCT THINKING AND PRE-THINKING. AN EXPERIMENT IN STRANGE THINKING. PART III
This part explores a form of distinct thinking—one that seeks to become something particularly real, concrete, and singular, serving as a unique tool for engaging with the unfolding reality. It also examines a type of thinking associated with attempts to uncover the fundamental foundations and limits of positive science and other specialized knowledge.
Furthermore, this section considers the possibility of using such thinking to reconstruct an ultimate "theory of everything" or a final theory about the world, humanity, and all that remains hidden and unobservable in everyday reality as something seemingly fixed.
THE THEORY OF ADEQUACY. SEARCH FOR FOUNDATIONS. PART I
This book explores the necessity of defining foundational principles, addressing the "theory of adequacy" and its opposing concept, "inadequacy," as well as their mutual exclusivity and simultaneous presence for each individual. This section emphasizes the "problem of foundations," which must be established to overcome the prevailing state of total uncertainty regarding the presented reality. Special attention is given to global perspectives on the ongoing process, wherein individuals are absorbed into unfolding events — either as a form of madness or as something entirely indeterminate, eluding final recognition. Additionally, a new approach to examining the concepts of "ideology" and "propaganda" is proposed.
CONSTRUCTING ADEQUACY: SEARCH FOR FOUNDATIONS. PART II
The second part explores the question of "how it should be," focusing on the construction of foundational principles, the emergence of a new world, the concept of the "superhuman," and the assertion of unique foundational grounds. It examines their global significance for those who aspire to shape concrete reality and to exist within it — not merely as objects, but as active and genuine participants in this presence.
ADEQUACY AND CONNECTION. SEARCH FOR FOUNDATIONS. PART III
The third part makes an attempt to revisit the long-standing discussion on connection and adequacy, as well as adequacy as a form of connection. It also touches upon the enigmatic "other side," free will, and various "useful illusions." Furthermore, it explores aspects beyond the purely physical, considering how "life," "existence," and "dream" might be understood in a distinct and unconventional way.
CONTROL, PULSAR, AND CENTER. PART I
In this limited and abstract study, particularly in its first and second parts, the author presents a mode of thinking that emerges from reflections on overarching cognitive mechanisms — those that enable grasping the processes occurring within human society. These mechanisms are necessarily represented in a descriptive manner in various works of 20th-century science fiction, as well as in other similar literary traditions. This authorial simplification takes place through the construction of conceptual frameworks that allow the abstractly depicted unfolding events to be synthesized into a more generalized form — though now within the realm of literature.

A NARRATIVE ABOUT NARRATIVE, INTELLIGENCE, AND THE SUBJECT
This work explores the terms "narrative" and "intelligence" in the context of their relationship to the notion of the "subject." It examines certain methodological aspects of how various intellectual constructs operate and, by analogy, considers specific issues related to the understanding of artificial intelligence challenges. The proposed narrative does not lend itself to a literal or applied interpretation.
ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN IN A MAJORITY DISTRICT: SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS
This study presents the author's analysis of the possible organization of an electoral campaign in a majority district for a Member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Various models of an "individual" electoral campaign are considered from the author's perspective. The research explores categorical, strategic, organizational, campaigning, legal, and other aspects encountered during the electoral process. An analytical illustration of hypothetical scenarios of victory or defeat in a majority district is proposed. Additionally, the book provides a condensed historical analysis of elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The materials and selected research data may be applicable to elections at various levels across Ukraine and the CIS. Intended for scholars, political technologists, political consultants, and anyone interested in analytical hypotheses concerning the organization of political elections.
ELECTIONS IN KYIV – 2013
This study presents the author's analysis of the pre-election situation in the capital ahead of the upcoming elections to the Kyiv City Council and the Kyiv mayoral race, shaped by the political events of 2010 and 2012. From the researcher’s perspective, the book examines the key conditions and potential campaigns of major political players. The study includes baseline data on the electorate of the capital, providing future participants with a clearer understanding of the electoral landscape. Based on the author's frameworks, the book offers simulations of various scenarios that may unfold before and during the upcoming elections. The core of the book was written in the fall of 2012, so potential changes in current legislation should be taken into account. However, the study's findings remain valuable not only for the preparation for elections in Kyiv but also for broader electoral strategies.
Intended for scholars, political technologists, political consultants, party officials, and politicians.
