Extract:	A subsystem of the complete and conscious universe is the socio-scientific world-system. The socio-scientific universe is described foundationally by the uniqueness and universality of the episteme of conscious oneness. The methodology of Tawhid in respect to “everything” is unique, hence universal. But the problems of different subsystems are bound to be diverse. Diversity does not mean differentiation of conception and formalism, one for this and another for that subsystem. Rather, the concept and the formalism remain invariant in the realm of the Tawhidi worldview for “everything.” Problems and methods of analysis can vary. But even in this case, the understanding of the diverse problems and the specification of the methods of analysis remain bound to the foundational logic of the Tawhidi methodology. The latter overarches the domain of unity in diversity.
