History, Evolutionary Reason, Experimental Reason

While the essential moment of Analytical Reason is Inference, that of Dialectical Reason is Totalization.  Thus, correspondingly, according to some Rational concepts of History, new developments are deducible from their antecedents, while according to others, they are the results of the reconciliation of prior conflicts.  In contrast, what can be called Evolutionary Reason has two essential moments, often conflated--Mutation and Reintegration, e. g. the emergence of opposing thumbs, and the integration of them into the use of the hands, are distinct processes.  Now, the interrogative moment, i. e. 'What if X?', that initiates experimentation can be classified as a species of Mutation.  Thus, just as Evolutionary Reason can be conceived as a concept of History, so too can be Experimental Reason.
