Is it your understanding cause and effect is not a temporal phenomenon?

You're right, of course. I stand corrected for neglecting to mention air resistance. My symbolic logic statement is supposed to say: a leads to b (cau...

Thanks for the notification.

So, the part is part of the whole, except when its not.

The necessitation of Y requires multiple necessary conditions?

I acknowledge that my interpretation of my gravitation example, with respect to your claim cause and effect is essentially temporal, is wrong. I also ...

Here's my inference from your above quote (especially the bold_italic part): the person in free fall is doing the falling. This is distinct from sayin...

So, attempting an analogy here, is it that enformaction is like computer code, and information is like the GUI we see on the computer screen? So, from...

I admire your big-hearted generosity: you look at evolution writ large and applaud its progress, inevitable extinction events notwithstanding. Hencefo...

I like your optimism for a future cooperative between homo sapiens and homo nova. What's your thinking about the problem of good and evil as conceptua...

Do you deny that gravity holding a person down to earth in one situation and accelerating the descent of a person in free fall in another situation ex...

Addendum: Kant reacted to the Enlightenment, to the Age of Reason, and to Newtonian mechanics (which he probably understood better than any other phil...

You're right. The speed of gravity waves equals the speed of visible light waves. The action-at-a-distance of gravity is not instantaneous. *1 Why do ...

So, information, in this context, is physical and thus "the future unleashed-singularity" of information would likewise be a physical explosion? Is th...

My initial reaction, which tends towards melodrama (and is therefore suspect) impels me to speculate the above hope is more fever-dream than rational ...

Okay. The gravitational field doesn't predate the ocean. So, at all times, the ocean currents are under influence of both earth and moon gravitational...

Ah, yes. Terminator. The great Harlan Ellison, author of Demon With a Glass Hand_The Outer Limits, subsequently ripped off by James Cameron for his Te...

The gravitational field of earth's moon causes the rising and falling of ocean tides. Do you say that the moon's gravitational field predates the ocea...

From the evidence of the above quote, I say universeness actually refers to an information singularity. Do you think I'm misreading the quote? I will ...

I don't know anything!

I recognize your point of view and, moreover, I respect the facts and conventions that source the content of your query. However, in my dialogue with ...

Since you refer to an information singularity, a term I know from the common Big Bang language, and since your question about history headed towards a...

You are asking about the practical reality of one possible essential attribute of humans: information processors? Your are asking about the possible p...

So causation implies passing of time. Since you say, can we assume someone can speak or write a logical statement that necessarily leads to: Okay. Reg...

Since, by your declaration, logical priority ? temporal causality, it seems to follow that a realm of ideal forms exemplifies your statement that: Fur...

Does this incline you to think time has a cause? Does the following train of thought reflect your thinking: Since time predates God and God created th...

Okay. God is not self-caused. Does God have a cause? Okay. Time predates God. And God created the material universe. So, time before God was metaphysi...

No important reason. I'm accustomed to form and substance as a set. I perceive form and matter as being interchangeable. It's true substance has a mea...

So far I've gotta wild speculation about what you're suggesting here. Could it be you're suggesting cardinality in 4-space is categorically different ...

Thank-you. I need your scrutiny. May it continue.

There's no paradox in 4D hypercubes, 3D cubes, 2D parallelograms, 1D lines, 0D points. Paradox appears when, for example, a 3D configuration tries to ...

The parallelism of metaphor and the identity of math are distinct. You have an identity. I'm guessing you think you cannot be in two locations simulta...

Are you perhaps talking about, say, an interaction between two hypercubes?

If you haven't watched unrestricted axiom of comprehension please humor me and do so. The brilliant Jeffery Kaplan presents a cogent argument declarin...

This set, as shown by Russell, leads to a paradoxical conclusion such that the set of all sets not members of themselves is simultaneously a member of...

You got it! Yes. That's the gist of my argument.

Overview – We’re examining the form/substance relationship. The important questions of the role of time, persistence and God are also thrown into the ...

The unrestricted axiom of comprehension in set theory states that to every condition there corresponds a set of things meeting the condition: (?y) (y=...

This is interesting and insightful. I don't think I would ever think of it. Does form exist without substance (matter)? This would have to be the case...

This is helpful. Thank-you.

Okay. Metaphysics calls for a special type of assumption: an assumption that resembles an axiom. Everyday assumptions are refutable: We had been worki...

Unrestricted comprehension within the domain of 3D leads to paradox: inconsistency. Unrestricted comprehension across the duet of 3D_4D leads to expan...

With the above help from jgill, I acknowledge the authority of your point, Banno. Frege and Russell wanted to reduce math to {first-order logic + set ...

A set is just a collection of any type of things.

Yes, sir! On it, sir!

I agree with you. Reality? Whew! It's one of the important reasons I go to bed every night. "I don't wanna be conscious right now." 'Course I have dre...

Is it your understanding from the above that assumptions_presuppositions cannot be refuted?

Some claim matter is neither created nor destroyed. How do you go about refuting this? For example: do you think caused and created are two different ...
