If one perceives culture in a cosmic context, planetary, intercontinental, interregional, international, intranational and interpersonal cultural diversity issues can be integrated naturally.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This chapter introduces the concept of a "subquantic-supercosmic culture continuum" as a new model for understanding cultural diversity. The author aims to demonstrate how this model can help us better understand and integrate various cultural levels, from planetary to interpersonal.
- The Subquantic-Supercosmic Culture Continuum Model
- The Importance of Understanding Cultural Diversity in a Cosmic Context
- The Integration of Micro-Macrocosmic and Intercontinental Perspectives on Culture
- The Parallels Between Cultural and Architectural Paradigm Shifts
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The chapter introduces the concept of a "subquantic-supercosmic culture continuum" as a new model for understanding cultural diversity. The author draws parallels between this model and the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who sought to "crack the box" of physical architecture by merging inner and outer spaces. The author argues that expanding our cultural mental architecture to a model of 144 tones allows us to better understand the full spectrum of cultural diversity. This model also allows for the integration of micro-macrocosmic and intercontinental perspectives on culture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "Subquantic-Supercosmic Culture Continuum"?
It is a model that integrates cultural diversity across all levels—from interplanetary and international to interpersonal—within a broad cosmic context.
How does this model help integrate cultural diversity?
By viewing culture as a continuum, it allows for the natural integration of micro-macrocosmic and intercontinental perspectives, moving beyond national boundaries.
What role does Frank Lloyd Wright play in this cultural model?
The author draws a parallel to Wright’s architectural shift of "cracking the box" to merge inner and outer spaces, suggesting we must similarly expand our "cultural mental architecture."
What is the "144 tones" model mentioned in the text?
It is an expanded framework for understanding the full spectrum of cultural diversity, allowing for more nuance than traditional binary or limited cultural models.
Why is a cosmic context important for understanding culture?
A planetary or cosmic view helps resolve conflicts between smaller cultural units by showing they are all part of a single, continuous system of diversity.
What is a "cultural mental architecture"?
It refers to the internal structures and paradigms we use to process and understand cultural differences and human interaction.
