What is Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT?

I think the interview is a new art form. – Jim Morrison

This project, initially conceived as a traditional book, has evolved into a multifaceted, interdisciplinary work that better reflects the complex ideas it contains. The transformation from a standard book format to a more dynamic, digital-age presentation was necessary to capture the essence of the concepts explored fully.

The guide to experiencing this interdisciplinary work.

Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT is a multi-layered work designed to be experienced in various ways, depending on the experiencer’s preferences and level of engagement.

Structure and Components

The work consists of two main elements:

Original Notes: A PDF or EPUB document containing the author’s initial draft, providing background information and links for further research.

Audio Conversations: Chapter-by-chapter discussions between Joseph Matheny and Sequoyah Kennedy, exploring the material in depth.

Suggested Approach

While readers are encouraged to engage with the content in any order they prefer, the author recommends the following sequence:

Read the original notes (PDF or EPUB)

Listen to the audio conversation for each chapter

This approach allows readers first to gain a foundational understanding through the notes and then to delve deeper into the material through the conversations.

Author’s Note

The current format of Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT evolved from an initial draft created a year prior. After careful consideration, we decided to present the work in its current, multi-format structure rather than as a traditional book.

Readers are invited to explore and enjoy the work in whatever order suits them best.
