You ask about the back and forth of human conversation, a phenomenon that argues for itself as being the highest creation of the universe to date. Con...

Of what stuff are dreams made? Just as there is gastronomic digestion of the stomach, there is cognitive digestion of the brain. Food in the digestive...

I appreciate your response to my note asking you to extend your correspondence with me, however briefly. Yes. A would-be theoretician needs some thoug...

Agent intellect meets intelligibility (Aristotle) is a duet with each correspondent fully active. Like water and its fluidity, substance and its form ...

Approximation can be incomplete, as in the case of pi. More to the point, strategic incompleteness doesn’t have a specified boundary it can approach; ...

OP Part 3 The hyper-cubism of my speculation throws fog on the subject/object interweave, but its introduction takes us back to the interweave by show...

I’m thinking Tarskian is trying to tell you that the inexpressible truth is the paradox of a Ricardian number being simultaneously: a member of the na...

Here’s my unsolicited attempt to answer your question: writing tentatively, with the need for corrective refutation: Tarskian’s premise suggests to ou...

Please write the OP and I’ll join the conversation.

Do we see from the above that mass and abstraction, like form and content*, are interwoven? *The interweave of form and content entails higher-order p...

What role does the observer play in the construction of an abstract object? To clarify what I’m asking, consider this related question: Can/does an ab...

I’m not thoroughly convinced your first quote (underlined) is consistent with your second quote. Your first quote, if it be authoritative, suggests a ...

First of all, thanks for your helpful response. The common misunderstanding of logic is why I’m asking you to stay involved in this thread. This websi...

Castañeda has many scholarly naysayers who have dismissed his books as new-agey populist fiction. Therefore, you owe it to yourself to explore some of...

If the figurative use of force (as in “force of personality”) can be linked to physical force (as in: “gale force winds”), then we can start with the ...

If the subject is empty, the object is featureless, and the predicate is unreal, then that’s a triad of zeroes, and I don’t see how a function linking...
September 22, 2024 at 23:14
What if the function, once seized upon by the sentient individual with intent to use it, becomes something essential to what exists? This because unde...

Hello correspondents, I’m asking you to examine my arguments and comment upon their merits, or lack thereof
September 22, 2024 at 14:29
What should not be underestimated is the depth of the meaning of the near-intangibility of consciousness (NI=Natural Intelligence). That the human ind...

I think I see this is something akin to a scientist not being able to prove her theory correct. However, a naysayer to the theory, acting in the role ...

There is a close and important connection linking will and imagination. When I decide that I will have something in mind come about as material fact, ...

In the court of law, truth is certified by proof: corroborated facts, pertinent evidence, conclusions based upon valid arguments. Since, as you say, t...

The laws of QM don’t say anything about what the question shall be. The human must willfully choose the question to be answered by experiment. If mate...

The measurement of you is not separate from what you measure, and the measurement of what you measure is not separate from the measurement of you. Con...
September 20, 2024 at 17:23
Since there are statements true but unprovable, there seems to be a disconnection between truth and proof. Has the meaning of this disconnection been ...

Incompleteness is the stage upon which creative action plays. Creative action and the stage of incompleteness occur simultaneously because creative re...

You ask about the relationship between the questioner and the material world as seen through the lens of QM. QM presents a menu of possibilities that ...
September 20, 2024 at 15:57
Strategic Incompletness wisely keeps human individuals from knowing themselves finally. In this way, the individual can always go forward into the fut...

As jgill clarifies, this is a non-commutative operation. What happens if we change the operator: 6+9 ~ 9+6 This is what I mean by semi-symmetrical mir...

Does an equation exemplify symmetry?
September 12, 2024 at 21:20
Imagine a math space such that : 6+9 =/= 9+6; semi-symmetrical mirroring. So, TIS =/= NI, and the difference i.e., imprecision_incompletion, keeps the...
September 12, 2024 at 18:56
The relationship between things-in-themselves (TIS) and NI is semi-symmetrical mirroring. This discrete symmetry transformation across the change from...
September 12, 2024 at 13:36
The uncertainty, or imprecision of our knowledge of things in themselves is another support for strategic incompleteness. The narratives of NI can’t e...

If you think my exam of the chief difference between “what” and “how” (i.e. what it’s like knowing the what of the world of my knowing) trivial, then ...

Our context is talking about the interweave of existing things and NI (natural intelligence). This approach is intended to aid in our examination of t...
September 11, 2024 at 18:19
I’m going to try NI for natural intelligence.

Insuperable in my context here is simple: you can’t know things outside of being cons, so you can’t know yourself outside of being cons, so as long as...
