By this argument, EPP is allowed as the causal history of Sherlock Holmes as rendered in the socially-verified mind-scape. E1"Is a member of all that ...
March 19, 2025 at 19:55
Regarding,"the lack of a state"qualifying as a predicate, such a predicate applies to a cognitive entity of the mind-scape. Only a cognitive entity of...

I read the text in bold as saying, "the predicate 'has wings' has an object (Pegasus) to modify." (So, 'has wings' makes a claim about an existing thi...
March 18, 2025 at 16:36
Is EPP your language denoting Sartre’s “Existence Precedes Essence”? Anyone can show non-existent winged Pegasus is a contradiction by establishing th...
March 17, 2025 at 17:31
No. You did say, "the thing modified doesn't necessarily exist." See your own quote below. You can talk about things - which can be physical, or abstr...
March 17, 2025 at 16:26
You make analytic declarations of the existence of a thing within the language field and then argue for such axiomatically determined existence therei...

Things that either exist or don't exist simultaneously. This is a description of paradox. The idea is simple, "Talking about attributes implies the ex...

I think it makes sense to say a thing is red such that there's an intersection between the thing and redness such that the two overlap. Within the reg...

E{B} says E (Winged) changes B (Horse) into Winged Horse. 0{B} says 0 (non-existence) changes B (Horse) into { }, the null set, which is the empty set...

Let C = {D | D ? C}, then D ? C ? D ? C. C = Existence; D = Object (that gets modified). Existence (C) is expressed as Let C = {D | D ? C}. The two br...

I think there's a logical issue embedded in your language: A = ¬EPP; B = Pegasus; C = Existence; D = Object; E = Winged (modifier) ? Let C = {D | D ? ...

Pi = the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. My mind tells me one of the main revelations of pi is the picture of the straight line of ...
March 11, 2025 at 21:24
Does the noun need to exist for the sake of the adjective function? Since an adjective is defined as a modifier (of a noun), how can it modify if ther...
March 11, 2025 at 18:55
Your statement raises logical issues: a) if something doesn't exist, it doesn't exist anywhere; b) if two things exist outside of (A?A) but rather as ...
March 10, 2025 at 18:09
Thanks for the correction. Attributes exist as characteristics that don't characterize anything? They embody the role of an adjective, but they don't ...
March 10, 2025 at 15:54
For what I know now, I think existing things have presence. Presence is a detectable part of the world that relates to its perceiver. Presence and its...
March 08, 2025 at 22:41
If I'm reading you correctly, then I understand you to be saying a concept of the number two within the mind is not material, whereas one stone beside...
March 08, 2025 at 01:06
This is one of my premises. ~E1- Existence is a part of all parts of objective reality. My premise above is an elaboration of this definition. Distanc...
March 07, 2025 at 14:59
I acknowledge what you have written above is the truth and moreover, your technique of examination is both sound and correctly applied to my reasoning...
March 05, 2025 at 10:42
Now we're looking at an opportunity to have a good exchange of ideas. In my quote above, the critically important words are "Logically speaking..." an...

Empirical Experience Vs Pure Logic Your partition between the two modes: a) pure logic; b) empirical experience presents artificial. The same pure log...

If you're willing to enter "bounded infinity" into the Google Search Engine, you can start learning about it. Take for example: {0,1} This bounded inf...
March 03, 2025 at 21:36
The crux of your argument is the equation of B: objective reality with C: human cognition rendered through language. If, as you've been arguing: then ...
March 03, 2025 at 20:53
Instead, I get: A=Existence B=Life C=Death A ? ((?B)?C) As far as what we know empirically, we only experience life without beginning or end. We see o...

Sticking with the accepted meaning of words is one of the things writing and talking is specifically allowed to refuse to do. The reason we of our gen...
March 03, 2025 at 17:18
In your two descriptions, respectively, of "definition" and of "premise," you example something taking a form by force of an axiomatic assumption with...
March 03, 2025 at 14:51
All of this supports the interpretation that language and the thought supporting it are emergent properties, not the fundamentals of the dynamism of p...
March 02, 2025 at 19:55
Are you viewing my quotes through a Wittgenstein-inspired lens of analytic philosophy? Language is a voice emergent from the effects of expression con...
March 02, 2025 at 18:15
Do you believe a definition cannot be used as a premise? If not, why not? Consider: I will use E1 to develop a chain of reasoning that evaluates to a ...
March 02, 2025 at 16:24
I'm defending the EPP. My defense stands upon E1 as its premise: "Is a member of all that is part of objective reality" I catch my clue about the rela...

I wonder if a 0-dimensional point, as in the singularity, hints at what space without time might be like. I think I’ve seen some debate whether time e...

I don't twist your words; I quote your words. See the bold, underlined key word below: A ninth grader easily understands your words in bold to mean: s...
February 26, 2025 at 00:28
Then, as I said, a priori conceptualization needs to express correct reasoning. This is a roundabout statement that makes a faulty approach to saying ...

Your digression to your OP is irrelevant. Your consciousness never transcends your mind. You've not seen directly the origin of the universe. You have...
February 25, 2025 at 22:28
I've posted three of your quotes on "scope of causation." Why isn't that evidence of me acting in good faith? Why am I prohibited from using set theor...

I've already said the designer is the one who designs by no-design. Designing by no-design is designing by a designer. You're the one championing no r...
February 25, 2025 at 20:40
Why don't you repost your quotes for my convenience. I always do that for you.
February 25, 2025 at 20:28
You fail to see the circularity I keep claiming? Here it is: In the bold letters we see you saying an uncaused thing has no reason (cause) for being b...
February 25, 2025 at 20:25
Are you trying to say, "Logic need not be consistent with what we don't know empirically"? Both empirical observation and a priori conceptualization n...
February 25, 2025 at 18:11
I have three posts from you: On the basis of these quotes, I don't see anything explicit or implicit that suggests your use of "scope" means anything ...

How does the super-atomic world approaching absolute zero temperature and the cessation of motion become a 0-dimensional point? Okay. We both accept e...

Zero can be considered a placeholder or a number. Mathematicians agree zero is a counting number, a whole number, and an integer. Zero is a good way t...

Scope, which means extent of, can be applied to the inclusivity of a set. Example: the universe is the set of all existing things. Why do you deem thi...
February 23, 2025 at 18:32
If you're equating zero with non-existence, I disagree. As you say, zero is a number. With this clarified in agreement between us, we now want to exam...
