LULLISM — [Noun] The philosophical and theological system of Ramon Llull, based on a search for truth through a combinatory art intended to unify all areas of knowledge. From the name of Ramon Llull (c. 1232–c. 1315), a Majorcan philosopher and theologian, combined with the English suffix -ism, denoting a system, principle, or movement. Unlike Scholasticism (which builds intricate cathedrals of logic upon the bedrock of Aristotle and Scripture) or the later, abstracted Ars Combinatoria (which denotes any formal system of permutation), Lullism is a singular, mechanical mysticism—a faith in the generative power of revolving wheels inscribed with primal concepts. It is the soft click of concentric parchment disks in a sunlit scriptorium, the ink-stained finger tracing a syllogism from the alignment of Goodness, Justice, and Eternity, and the desperate, beautiful hope that all truth might be reducible to a sacred machine—a geometry of the divine so perfect it could convince the infidel by its clicks alone, a testament to the human compulsion to build a system for grace from gears of longing.
