About the Author
The creator of the Panstructural Theory of Everything (PSTheory) is Jadwiga Magnuszewska from Poland, who holds a Master's in mathematics. Her career has taken her through business, education and into the third sector. Jadwiga has not found conditions conducive to fulfilling her great need to search for meanings and discover structures anywhere. It was only research and literary work that provided such conditions. Jadwiga was simultaneously active in three fields: research into the Panstructural Theory of Everything, poetic work on short literary forms in which she attempted to define and approximate the meanings of different phenomena, and writing a blog documenting the creative process (the literary forms mentioned above also appeared on the blog). The effects of her diverse activity can be seen in three book publications: Panstrukturalna Teoria Wszystkiego (Panstructural Theory of Everything), Holistyczny umysł . Studium przypadku (A Holistic Mind. A Case Study) and Błyski świadomości (Flashes of Consciousness). The author believes her flashes—as she calls brief philosophical reflections on different aspects of the surrounding world—and poems to be specific forms of application of PSTheory, as they contain descriptions of reality from a structural and holistic perspective. Alongside the development of the theory, the author's capacity for deep reflection about reality grew.
The creator of PSTheory refrained from publishing partial results of her inquiries so as not to waste time and mental resources on these activities. Work on a holistic theory involves constant improvement of one's own texts, because one constantly approaches them from new perspectives. Partial results of research would be out-of-date after such corrections, so publishing intermediate steps would in fact be pointless.
Earlier professional and charity work gave Jadwiga Magnuszewska familiarity with various aspects of life and taught her to take on different projects—also those on a large scale, with a high level of difficulty.
While working for an NGO, Jadwiga was surrounded by young scientists, which encouraged her to try to obtain a PhD. She chose psychology. She studied psychology at the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Wrocław. Her studies resulted in the formulation of a Developmental Concept of Man. Ultimately she gave up the PhD in psychology as she saw new goals ahead of her. Her mind switched to the holistic and structural mode—which later made it significantly easier to create the foundations of a structural theory. Gradually she also developed consciousness, self-awareness and mindfulness, which allowed her to observe herself and the world from a new perspective. She started perceiving things not accessible to others and noting them down.
She realised that as it is possible to holistically describe man, perhaps it is possible to holistically describe the world. At first she did not believe this herself, but as she made subsequent attempts to describe the world at the highest level of abstraction she became convinced she had the potential to try to develop the Panstructural Theory of Everything. Work on PSTheory made her realise, however, that this topic was too extensive for her limited creative potential. She came to the conclusion that alone she could not bring her theory to its final form, but she could significantly develop it. She decided to publish the theory in its current form. Part of the text includes working approximations, part of it consists of final formulations.
Currently Jadwiga Magnuszewska is promoting the results of her previous work and looking for sources of financing for future research. She plans to further improve PSTheory and popularise i
