Evenedric (philosophy)

Evenedric is a philosophical label, named for Saunt Evenedric, used in current discourse to denote a line of reasoning associated with his thought. In recent debates it is brought up when discussing consciousness and whether introspection can reveal features common to all minds, including those of the Geometers.

First appearance and context

During a large assembly at the host of the Convox at Tredegarh, a senior Procian speaker, Fraa Lodoghir, invoked “Evenedric” while challenging an eyewitness in a public Plenary about the visitors’ actions at Orithena. In that exchange he characterized it as an “extinct pseudo‑philosophy,” using the term as a dismissive label for a style of argument he opposed. Others present signaled an eagerness to argue “why Evenedric was wrong,” showing that the label still functions as a live point of contention at the Convox.

Themes and characterization

• In the cited dialog, “Evenedric” is tied—by critics—to introspective inquiry about consciousness and to the idea that certain cognitive structures might be universal among conscious beings. This association comes from how the term was used in a debate about whether insights drawn from one’s own mind could illuminate how the Geometers think.
• The same usage frames it as an older tradition that some regard as obsolete or misguided; that judgment is contested in‑scene and presented as the speaker’s stance, not established fact.

Relationships and usage

• Namesake: Saunt Evenedric.
• Associated line of inquiry: Evenedrician datonomy (study of “givens” of mind).
• Subsequent school: Latter Evenedricians, who emphasize later writings attributed to Evenedric.
• Setting of current debate: the Convox at Tredegarh, within the broader Convox.
• Principal detractor in the cited exchange: Fraa Lodoghir, who employs the term as a rhetorical foil.

Current status

Active as a topic of debate and a shorthand label in formal discourse. Some voices call it “extinct,” yet its invocation in public sessions, and the eagerness of interlocutors to argue against it, indicate that Evenedric remains part of the live philosophical vocabulary.
