Inside of a Venn Diagram, by definition, lie the common properties linking two otherwise distinct things. An example would be two math inequalities th...

I understand you to be telling me that: a) our ecology, with its involuntary processes structured by invariant regularities and constants leads to: b)...

You believe your behavior, being personal, operates freely is spite of deterministic events that control your life? Do you see that your free will mai...

Since you argue for human determinism, do you also argue for cosmic determinism? If so, why isn't cosmic determinism, i.e., a deterministic God, just ...

I'm skeptical about your claim not to understand that the Christian God examples a scale of consciousness greater than your human scale of consciousne...

Indeed, it's not. In the face-off between, say, an infinite series and a discrete interval like, say, all of the odd numbers between one and ten, we'v...

God consciousness is meant to be a straightforward term. Like it says, there's a concept of an existing God held in the mind of a believer. In other w...

Why don't you think an interaction contains a component of shared identity? A transfer of mass, energy, and information involves three components shar...

Do you deny that God consciousness is a component of human psychology? This question seeks to examine the connection - the identity linking narrative ...

When the Universal system and the unique component interact, is there a Venn diagram of shared identity?

Can you express the measure of the number of sides of a circle as an integer? Can pi be computed to an integer? Regarding the Halting Problem, does ZF...

Thanks for posting this Burke quote. It's a good model for useful political debate. American conservatives salute the 1776 Revolution, however, at the...

Why do you present the debate in such a rigidly binary structure? According to the Gospels, the arrival of Jesus triggered a clash between a hidebound...

I have no better alternative to propose. I'm not judging your outlook. Skepticism is a worthy attitude given our world so fraught with deceptions. Lik...

My general impression of your narrative says, "You want to pair the metaphysics of knowledge relationships (p ?q), as dynamically governed by an emerg...

You've gotten a response to each and every post you've addressed to me. As I say above, my conjecture about sexual identity ideation is subject to ref...

You quote me incorrectly. Here's the undistorted quote. Higher order conjunction (across symmetry) suggests itself as a central component of mind emer...

Your cognitive sword is skepticism, propelling you forward thrusting and parrying at the devious world of deception?

Identity Manifesto Truth is an emergent property of the dynamism of identity. Identity is a core element of the interrelations of numbers. 7=7 is an i...

Go one day with your understanding stripped of ? and then make something of that day's coherence. Write any logical symbol as an identity. When you fi...

In your personal lexicon "poetic" denotes what? Logical operators (?, ?, ??, ¬) are not logical identities? How do you write a sequence of logic witho...

Adequation of intellect and reality, and don't forget the entanglement of the two.

Things and their yardsticks are entangled. Since one implies the other, we see that conjecturing existence of things unmeasured is in fact a measureme...

As I read T-sentence, it invokes the bi-conditional; the two terms support each other in identity. A=A pictures the bi-conditional in all of its beaut...

Maybe my post below provides you with some clarity.

All three must exist. The identity of each of the three is complicated by the interrelations numbers describe in measuring them. The truth content of ...

As I read your narrative, it hovers at the cusp of undecidability. If so, with your narrative you militate against necessity. Undecidability vacates t...
