From the first volume of this work, in which we explored the state-centric period of the Greek/human-centric world system, to the second volume, in which we investigated the nature of the post-state-centric world, we outlined the evolutionary process of the social phenomenon promoted by cosmological epistemology.

In this third volume and the two that follow, we examine the universal phase through the prism of its internal or, more accurately, human-centric integration, from which the emergence of the foundations for overcoming the small cosmological scale (the city) and transitioning to the era of the large scale/our era will result.

In the pages of this volume, we trace the deadlock of Roman oligarchy, which will be resolved through the transfer of "Roman imperialism" to the Greeks. The Byzantine tenure of the Greek world begins with the establishment of the metropolis in Byzantium and is gradually confirmed through its Greek transformation.

The harmonization of the metropolis with the Greek phenomenon of the world testifies why society and its state have never been so uniformly Greek in education, in their stable customary practices, and in the semantics of their cultural identity. This harmonization of the universal cosmopolis with its Greek homonym marks, on the one hand, the lifting of many despotic burdens imposed by Rome and, on the other hand, its return to the trajectory of a new era for the evolutionary biology of human-centric acquired characteristics, culminating in the transition from the small scale of the city to the large scale of the nation-state.
