# First Dialectics If we live in a pandialectical universe, then the first dialectics in history must be of decisive significance. Within the natural sciences this occurs in the form of *the dialectics of hypertime and spacetime*. Within metaphysics it occurs in the form of [[The Dialectics of Negation and Oscillation]]. It is then an open question for philosophy to sort out whether there in turn is an underlying *metadialectics* (often signified as *the dialectics of eternalism and mobilism*) between these two dialectical processes, or if the dialectics as practice is best served by placing such a question under the category *the principle* *of explanatory closure*.
