Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Yukio Mishima
Linear historical time read against the grain of Japan's post-war forgetting; the Sea of Fertility uses Buddhist cyclic time over a single century.
Space
Yukio Mishima
Standard substantival; the sacred geography of Japan, the dojo, the temple.
Matter
Yukio Mishima
Substantival; the disciplined body as the locus of recovered essence.
Observer
Yukio Mishima
Plural; immediate aesthetic-martial knowledge; multiple time-instances through the reincarnation structure of the tetralogy. Cosmic-ordering: the Emperor as spiritual essence.
Energy
Yukio Mishima
Standard physics.
Information
Yukio Mishima
Personal soul conserved (Buddhist reincarnation).
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Mishima's aesthetic ultranationalism and ritual suicide were not understood by his contemporaries (the JSDF garrison laughed at his coup speech) and have been variously read since: as fascist, as the last samurai gesture, as pathological homoeroticism dressed in militarism, as serious cultural critique of post-war Japan. The literary work survives the politics; the politics survive the literary work as inseparable scandal.
