The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons in every [[time]] and place when they serve as host to that unique [[wonder]] leading all to examine more deeply what it means to live as a [[human being]]. While such questions, along with their ensuing [[dialogues]], may become enshrined in the celebrated literature of any civilization acting then as inspiration to further study, too often these can be found serving the illusions of [[power]] wearing '[[authoritative]]' answers more than representing a genuine [[authority]] that shows the need for deeper inquiry.

To mitigate the inevitable tendency implicit in [[cultural formation]], the [[Nordan]] Symposia eschews presumptions upon authority even as its participants seek to identify, incorporate, and integrate what are found to be the most helpful resources freely available throughout this world that is slowly becoming a real [[cosmopolis]]. Through the means of this [[Open Source]] platform, it is hoped that the common threads of inquiry woven through every field of human endeavor might become more vivid and seen as they are in truth, meaningfully related to the enduring question of "who am I" or "who are we" to have taken upon ourselves the name - ''homo sapiens''?

One result of the shared discovery in this [[Symposia]] is the '''''[[Nordan Corpora]]''''' that is comprised of a Primary and Secondary [[Corpus]] derived from the editorial work conducted within ''[[The Daynal Scriptorium]]'' [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/forum/]. The [[Scriptorium]] is a workspace serving as a virtual counterpart to the [[dialogue]] transpiring beyond any observable range as well as the more familiar methods of everyday 'matter of fact'. Otherwise, the [[Primary Corpus]] contains work attributed to [[divine]] sources while the [[Secondary Corpus]] features work of [[human]] origin.
