Integrating factors is the process of combining only truths, applicabilities and workabilities of the subject at hand plus any ethical factors that are being missed, plus any foreseeable future factors as accurately as possible.

There is nothing wrong with research, discussion and debate, but not having enough of an openmind to imagine further integration is a fatal flaw. Hence thirdness/oneness must be an ethic built into the intellectual process. This is the essence of the integrative process.
