Both “Foundationals” and “Sine Qua Nons”* are “must-be’s”
So also are such HeadTerms as ‘Basics’, Pre-Requisites, ‘Mandatories’.
And
in downwards-diminishing order we might allow
‘Qualifications’ to be axiomatic ** ‘pragmatically-necessary’,
——
– but we’re talking there of
“Humankind-Essentials”
such as have become
“today-vitally-top-priority-
to be
both
brought-up-to-date-
and
future-sustainworthied”
“demanding” our “getting” all of our
Civilisational-Constitutions-Senses-&-Meanings
both “right”
and
“fit-for-immediate-&-longest-terms
sustainworthy-&-sustainworthying”
Purpose.
—–
(we-re talking of “humankind’s-needs’)
rather than of
“Materially-Essential-Components/Properties/Ingredients”
such as
(i) ‘EarthLife needs Atmospheric protection from the Sun’s ultra-violet rays’;
(ii) “copper needs to be ‘malleable'”;
(iii) “bread needs flour, yeast, and water”.
So we ‘humans’, each and ‘growingly-together,
need to be focally
scrutinising and amending/bringing-up-to-date/
and
‘future-sustainworthying –
every existingly-operative constitution.
* ”correct’ Latin possibly “sines qua non” [?]
.** ‘axiomatic’ has the sense of ‘logically-definiive’ as of an ‘existential-law’
rather than of “performance-necessary” [?]
