The Mathematics of Becoming: Adaptation, Attention, Awareness, Learning, Memory, and Knowledge develops a disciplined mathematical and constitutional architecture for these questions. The volume moves through feedback and feedforward control, plasticity, recovery, signal detection, resource allocation, relevance, integration, belief states, representation, prediction error, generalization, transfer, storage, attractors, consolidation, reconstruction, inference, calibration, consistency, and revision.
Aston Gustavous Farquharson keeps every domain boundary visible. Similar mathematics may appear in organisms, nervous systems, persons, machines, institutions, and civilizations, but shared form does not establish shared mechanism. Adaptation is not survival at any cost; attention is not a moral ranking; awareness is not equated with one unproven mechanism; learning may be harmful or maladaptive; memory may distort; and knowledge remains accountable to provenance, uncertainty, evidence, and reality.
The volume continues the human foundation of the SDAE Canon: the spiritual inheritance of parents and grandparents and decades of face-to-face work with thousands of NuSpecians and their families confronting illness, suffering, caregiving, recovery, dying, and grief. These lived realities motivate questions and moral responsibility without substituting for empirical validation.
Six source-locked figures make the argument visible: Adaptation and Recovery; Attention and Selection; Awareness and Representation; Error, Update, Generalization, and Transfer; Encoding, Retention, Consolidation, and Reconstruction; and Evidence, Consistency, Calibration, and Revision. This third public volume can be read independently while permanent identifiers connect it to the wider fifteen-volume Mathematics of Becoming sequence. Reality remains the measure.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
