The entire ORIGIN RESEARCH project can be described as a design for "systematic confluence", involving the attempt to synthesize a highly inclusive and integrative theoretical perspective by bringing traditionally independent lines of thinking and academic disciplines into close relationship with one another. The objective in this crossing of traditional categorical boundaries has been to achieve an interdisciplinary cross-fertilization, which endeavors to find in these diverse disciplines common underlying factors, and which attempts to assemble from these factors an integrating and unifying theory defining universal insights, capable of proving useful at the common interface of all intellectual and scientific activities.

The books collected in this bibliography represent a modest attempt at defining the initial boundaries of a kind of scientific spectrum, which, though it is incomplete and must be substantially expanded in a very great number of ways, does provide an initial philosophic and scientific framework for the kind of sophisticated intellectual network which a project of this type must embody.

The listings in this bibliography thus define a broadly diverse array of interrelated subjects, each of which contributes some particular perspective or class of insights pertinent to the general questions with which mathematical epistemology is concerned, and which has been chosen because it seemed to adequately represent some particular domain or class of discussion which was felt to be critical. The project of commenting in detail on exactly how each of these works contributes to this project is a substantial undertaking, but each of these topics merits such a discussion.
