Yeah. Theoreticians are still scratching their heads over the question of an inflection point linking metalogical with ontological.

So if, for example, the 2^{nd} law of thermo-dynamics establishes that systematic utilization of heat is always incomplete, and that this unconstraine...

Maybe QM can tell us something pertinent herein: When that tree falls in the forest without a witness, does it make a sound? No. It makes a potential ...

If a thing is not computable, thus causing attempted measurements to terminate in undecidability, is it sound reasoning to characterize this undecidab...

August 29, 2024 at 23:56
It's all cleared up. I like Art Garfunkel's rendering of "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life (Monty Python)." Have you heard it?
August 29, 2024 at 18:40
Here I'm proceeding from the notion of QM entanglement connecting observer with observed. Effect: nothing is truly unseen. In the grapevine mesh of ex...

Sounds right to me too. So we have a translation from ontic to empirical. Must we always suppose there's something lost in the translation?
August 28, 2024 at 22:57
I like to think that when I zoom out to include my premise from another one of my conversations: strategic incompleteness, the new bottle perturbs the...

How do you characterize ontically and empirically the physicist and its experimental_inferential connection to planck-scale phenomena?
August 28, 2024 at 16:49
Yes. :up: Okay. Your helpful analysis empowers me to see that: teleology | formalism | empiricism are a triad of modes of cognition incorrectly (logic...

QM tells us the observer perturbs what s/he observes. So, the cognition of a sentient keeps everything local to itself in the act of observing. Thus, ...

Since "deem" is a synonym for "judge," we see that compression herein is a process of translation. Humans frequently talk about something being lost i...
August 28, 2024 at 15:25
Okay. Proceeding from the observer as an always local person, if we bind the thinking of an always local person to that always local person, then it t...

Your commentary is very helpful. May it keep coming. :smile: :up:

Let me clarify; in this context, by "miracle" I mean a highly improbable or unlikely development. Is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle about existenc...
