I acknowledge that you and 180 have an understanding of entanglement superior to mine. Having said that, I struggle to understand how you fail to see ...
September 19, 2023 at 23:04
Yeah. The dynamism of a functional system is work. Heat is a useless BYPRODUCT of that work. In this example, you're mistaken about what constitutes w...
September 19, 2023 at 22:19
The above argument is a useful tool for clarifying entanglement. I acknowledge it being true there is no instant communication between paired particle...
September 19, 2023 at 21:50
These details are presently unknown to me. I agree with this conceptualization, with questions already posted.
September 18, 2023 at 19:31
I think that heat, being unavailable to do work, and thus being an entropic drain on whatever system produces it, examples free energy. For example, w...

180 Proof rejects my claim of "instantaneous communication" across distance. I consider the claim a possibility. Does a unitary object like a wooden, ...

On 09-13-23, you asked for a supporting argument for my open universe. I gave you my supporting argument and you rebutted on 09-13-23. The gist of you...

See my above post.

It's true you're not dismissing within our context here the metaphysics of my super-naturalistic universe as fiction. Considering: and Considering: Do...

First of all thanks to both of you: 1) Thanks to 180 Proof for posing the important question of conservation; 2) Thanks to universeness for the clarif...

Firstly, "non-sequitur" assumes its meaning within the context of a proposition. My question about the correctness of my assessment of your metaphysic...

Do you see that one possible reading of your quotes conveys an ascription of what you deem oxymoronic to my openess theorem? Do you see how your first...
September 17, 2023 at 00:25
Is the world empty of all things a spiritual world, or a material world? Is your postulation of the conjoined two-world one that renders it paradoxica...

You ask: But after my I ask for clarification, you answer in the negative: Since we're talking about totality of existence, an open network of subsyst...
September 15, 2023 at 20:07
I'm speaking of "system," and positing universe as its limit. I imagine this has some bearing on TOE. Your TOE configures "everything" and its origin ...
September 14, 2023 at 18:42
Are you asking how an open network of subsystems configures conservation within its domain? Do you perceive a conflict between conservation and and so...
September 14, 2023 at 18:35
We both know entanglement has been experimentally verified: Quantum Entanglement Your argument against instantaneous, paired-particles communication a...
September 14, 2023 at 04:22
If you're going down to the scale of x ^ {-35}, then you need to supply parameters for the domains of laws, theorems, functions, etc. Is it establishe...
September 14, 2023 at 00:51
You make a useful distinction. As you say, something incomplete might be closed. The two are not equivalent and the subsystem configuration is both op...
September 13, 2023 at 23:49
Note: You ask an important question just when I'm developing my thinking about the role of "universe" within "system." My response will therefore be b...

So panpsychism and super-nature, as presented in my statement, are superfluous to the things covered in your list.
September 09, 2023 at 01:13
• I’m a panpsychist in that I believe all matter at all levels, including compounds, elements, radicals, molecules, atoms and elementary particles, ar...
September 08, 2023 at 17:08
My point is trying to examine whether self-organizing systems, accountable for self-organizing complexity, possess purpose. Are they instead automaton...

If one event were measured at -0.75 degrees celsius and another event measured at -0.250 degrees celsius, with everything else being equal, would this...

Regarding what I'm aware of and understand, either in the abstract or in application, my discovery is an ongoing process. For example: Maybe the struc...
September 01, 2023 at 16:50
I too have enjoyed our interactions. I discover details of my premises in the hot kitchen of debate. The demand to justify claims forces me to look mo...

I counter-argue that the complete description of the logical relations pertaining to superposition within spacetime goes as follows: A is in position ...
August 31, 2023 at 17:02
Regarding the math identity equation, are you claiming that either: a) It is not a valid example of a distinction without difference that is not conce...
August 31, 2023 at 16:18
You say nothing that refutes my supposition about life propagation occurring outside of evolution. My supposition about a quantum leap from non-sentie...
August 31, 2023 at 02:01
This is a buttress to what I said.
August 31, 2023 at 00:37
Although it's a stretch, it's theoretically grounded. It's not a leap of faith because Einstein showed us there's no unitary time throughout the unive...
August 31, 2023 at 00:34
Could it be that during a lull in the fighting we're all on the same page?
August 30, 2023 at 16:52
I, in contrast to you, proceed from the notion a closed universe is all encompassing. If it's closed, how can you confirm/deny an outside? On a logica...
August 30, 2023 at 16:33
In my response to your previous post, I say something similar to this. This is a good linear time argument within a Newtonian, 3-space universe. After...
August 30, 2023 at 16:22
In your first sentence, you seem to be saying the appearance of sentient life on earth was not part of evolution; it was a quantum leap from non-senti...
August 30, 2023 at 16:07
Since higher orders of categories are logically valid, your cannot prove, logically, that cosmic sentience, a higher-order category of nature, cannot ...
August 30, 2023 at 14:23
This is you positing A = A; cosmic sentience is itself in isolation. I claim the above statement can be read as: cosmic sentience 'Of only itself' (A ...

This is you positing A = A; cosmic sentience is itself in isolation. This is you claiming A = A (cosmic sentience) is itself in isolation AND also cla...
August 30, 2023 at 05:25
I'm wondering why your perplexity about what could lie beyond a set encompassing all of existence doesn't make you doubt the possibility of a closed u...
August 30, 2023 at 04:38
As you already know, that claim (with condition of the universe being a closed system) is made here in this conversation. Yeah. The tendency towards t...

Cox and I describe a continuity from matter-energy to sentience within the animal kingdom. Cox and I ask what it means to be sentient matter-energy th...

This is a good, compact description of possible structural errors that can sink a theorem. Let's see if their ascription to my theorem is factual. I t...

I think it says the universe is a gigantic example of a black hole. If this is true, then the universe is not truly closed because its bounded energy ...

Some memes propagate far and wide, becoming myth-based beliefs. Well-organized systems of thought and belief predicated upon sound logic, whether scie...

You have a strong argument, but there’s a strong defense. You make the moral relativity argument. By the same argument, a moral precept locally verifi...

My response will come after further development. If a moral precept is verified logical and deemed pertinent to empirical experience, does its source ...

Okay. The quote is hyperbole, not literal statement. Okay. Natural science unconfirmed can be conjectured as "supernatural" although, in your opinion,...
