This text by Ladislav Hejdánek explores the ontological relationship between the old and the new. The author rejects the notion of the new as a mere emergence of a fixed beginning that simply unfolds its potential. Instead, the new is presented as dynamis—an activity and the opening of a path—rather than a new set of data. True novelty is not an absolute quality but a historical one, realized only through the dynamic integration and selective unification of existing conditions. While the new is irreducible to and non-derivable from the old, it must necessarily build upon it; otherwise, it risks becoming a mere repetition. Hejdánek utilizes the analogy of a switchman who redirects the inertia of existing structures toward a higher meaning or centro-complexity. Thus, novelty does not pre-exist in a folded state within a beginning but emerges through a creative formation of processes that transcend given realities. The document emphasizes the procedural and historical nature of innovation.
