Bracketing - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
While our system of thought is not specific to Hegel, he is such an interesting polymath and coined the terms, for diagraming the tool. So what are these terms?
Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis. So how is that bracketing? The diagram flow of this approach will start with a Thesis and then be challenged by the Antithesis. That is how the bracket gets started. A Thesis makes no bracket it just contains it's intrinsic quantity and quality. Analysis of the Thesis and Antithesis produces a Synthesis. Hegel taught that the winning Thesis now a Synthesis retains each and every challenge as part of the new theory because that is how you got to where you are. If the original Thesis beats the Antithesis, it is of course now stronger than before. So not keeping the history keeps the strength of the debate from advancing iteratively.

Bracketing (German: Einklammerung; also called phenomenological reduction, transcendental reduction or phenomenological epoché) is the preliminary step in the philosophical movement of phenomenology describing an act of suspending judgment about the natural world to instead focus on analysis of experience. Its earliest conception can be traced back to Immanuel Kant who argued that the only reality that one can know is the one each individual experiences in their mind (or Phenomena). Edmund Husserl, building on Kant’s ideas, first proposed bracketing in 1913, to help better understand another’s phenomena.

A scientific theory differs from a scientific fact: a fact is an observation, while a theory connects and explains multiple observations. Yes but observation is what the ancient Greeks did which gave us
The classical elements typically refer to earth, water, fire, air, and (later) aether which were proposed to explain the nature and complexity of all matter in terms of simpler substances.[1][2] Ancient cultures in Greece, Angola, Tibet, India, and Mali had similar lists which sometimes referred, in local languages, to "air" as "wind", and to "aether" as "space".
And Humorism, the humoral theory, or humoralism, was a system of medicine detailing a supposed makeup and workings of the human body, adopted by Ancient Greek and Roman physicians and philosophers. Oct. 29 2025.
So, let's get started with a case observation - "The high school sophomore died on Sept. 23, 2023, after eating a Paqui brand chip called the “One Chip Challenge,” which was dusted with the extremely hot Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers. Wolobah tried the chip while in school and went to the nurse’s office complaining of stomach pain. The teen was sent home but his condition worsened and he was transported to the hospital, where he later died."
I am not sure if it is blood or bile, it is a case of hot and what you eat which caused an imbalance.
Situations like this are what I call a "shadow theory" like the illustration of Plato's Cave.
Illustration from: Inside Plato's Cave
In the allegory, Plato describes people who have spent their entire lives chained by their necks and ankles in front of an inner wall with a view of the empty outer wall of the cave. They observe the shadows projected onto the outer wall by objects carried behind the inner wall by people who are invisible to the chained “prisoners” and who walk along the inner wall with a fire behind them, creating the shadows on the inner wall in front of the prisoners. The "sign bearers" pronounce the names of the objects, the sounds of which are reflected near the shadows and are understood by the prisoners as if they were coming from the shadows themselves.
Only the shadows and sounds are the prisoners' reality, which are not accurate representations of the real world. The shadows represent distorted and blurred copies of reality we can perceive through our senses, while the objects under the Sun represent the true forms of objects that we can only perceive through reason. Three higher levels exist: natural science; deductive mathematics, geometry, and logic; and the theory of forms.
Which brings me to my point, plate tectonic theory is a shadow theory.
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere, which is divided into tectonic plates, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
As I have often defined "a good theory is one that explains best."
And here we go with what raft/plate tectonics does not explain best:
Why other planets do not have plate tectonics. By definition this makes the theory particular not general only good in some cases. Starting to see the shadow nature of this theory yet?
Raft/plate tectonics developed by a weatherman postulates cold and hot convection as causing the plate cracks and movements. The plate map above does not look like this. It is far to complex for this model.

Scientists discover new secrets of 2 giant ‘blobs’ inside the Earth’s mantle
By Chris Melore

TEMPE, Ariz. — It may sound like the plot of a science-fiction movie, but scientists say there are two massive “blobs” sitting inside the Earth’s surface. Now, a new study is revealing some new secrets about these structures, which are each the size of a continent and 100 times taller than Mt. Everest!
Geologists have actually known about these blobs for years, but it’s still unclear why they exist or what their function may be. As many children learn in school, our planet is like a giant onion, containing many layers under the surface. Earth has a thin outer crust, with a thick semi-liquid mantle underneath. Beneath that is the planet’s fluid outer core and its solid inner core.
What teachers don’t usually talk about are these two enormous structures sitting underneath the African continent and the Pacific Ocean. Officially, scientists call them Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) and, until now, they’ve suspected that both blobs are generally the same. However, the new study by Arizona State University scientists found some surprising differences between these two mysterious structures.
Well, I think we can clearly say the earth does not have any simple type of convection currents if it has convection at all.
Does Impact Tectonics explain better? Yes, an earth made by millions of impacts large and small would have various size crust cracks (Crusta Confractus) and internal blobs of these large accretions.
There are problems with observation and problems with testing. I use a forensic physics approach matching a probable cause to the effects observed. I am not averse to making my own test. Earth crust crack modeling has been of particular interest. You can do this test at home. As a former bending engineer you will not ever make round type surface geology by ramming two plates together. 30 Oct. 2025.
