This is your declaration. Where is your supporting argument?
January 23, 2025 at 00:54
There's no clear distinction here. Logic and knowledge are both epistemic. I'm not uniting logic and events; I'm stressing their distinction: one atem...

This is not what you say in your original quotes. And the point is that it is an illusion, not real. The first quote indicates what are the consequenc...

Does a person experience future and past empirically? Directly below are your two quotes. As I read your above quote, I get: The illusion of continuit...

I think ability to experience = enduring, personal point of view featuring impressions and judgments about them. I think ability to cause = formulatin...

This question and response shows our work so far has been good: a) You've done a good job of communicating your system of beliefs to me; b) I've done ...

Is this your argument for adding immaterial causation into the mix? Read Newton again. His first law says, "...an object will not change its motion un...

Do you believe time is immaterial? Do you believe the passing of time causes the material world to exist? Do you believe physics rides piggyback on pa...

Firstly, again I've lined through your statement because I believe it generally invalid, as I've explained in my previous post. Secondly, for curiosit...

Since we're doing a thought experiment, we're stipulating terms. Up front, we can stipulate scientific rigor, or not. If not, then I can stipulate: at...

I have lined through what is unclear to me. Here's what I agree to: T1 = State A: a quark; T2 = State B: a quark_anti-quark pair. This transformation ...
January 19, 2025 at 14:53
I underlined the key sentence in your statement. If a possibility is a reality before being realized, then a possibility is always a reality, so how i...

I didn't ask you a psychological question. We've established a context within our dialogue. We're examining the role of time in the physics of our wor...

Determinism and causation in our context here are much the same, and they are fundamental to humans with intentions regardless of their view of the ar...

Just ignore "tense." So, it's the future flowing toward the past. We're examining a complicated arrangement of relative points of view (POV): With the...
January 16, 2025 at 14:26
Does logical priority imply causation? Does causation imply temporal priority? Can a cause exist before it's paired with its effect? For example: Can ...
January 15, 2025 at 22:42
Time passing in the future is prior to observing the changes in things time passing causes, which is in the past? This is why you say, "anything obser...
January 15, 2025 at 21:23
Five of Your Key Talking Points Spacetime is an immaterial concept The independent system of passing time is the immaterial first cause, and it is log...
January 14, 2025 at 14:19
With activity, you refer to time imagined in total isolation acting as a transitive verb with events as its object. The transitive action of time is t...
January 14, 2025 at 00:44
You're saying the past_present_future arrow of time is self-contradicting because it cancels the free-will option? You're saying time stands independe...

Ladies, I look forward to you both having a go at my first draft. Amity will supply the joyful perspicacity; Vera Mont will supple the hammer-to-the-h...

If you've ever tackled the question: "Why is There Not Nothing?" or, stated differently: "Why Existence?" or read up on approaches made by others, the...

Hello, Amity, I'm delighted to have this note of concern from you. I'm flattered by your caring attention. Thank-you. Happily, I can quickly explain m...
January 13, 2025 at 17:15
You have written about the arrow of time as moving from future to past, with the force of the future pushing the past into the more distant past, so I...

I'm having a great time. MU has been patient with my blunders, and he's been generous with his time. I can't lose overall because I'm having an enrich...
January 12, 2025 at 22:32
Logical validity doesn’t necessarily establish what is factual. If a valid conclusion is necessarily based upon a false premise, then that conclusion,...
January 12, 2025 at 22:30
Regarding passing through time, time is the dimension of duration, so is it false to think of my temporal experience as passing through a duration? Co...
January 12, 2025 at 20:06
The infinite series of the calculus and it's limit work very well. They aren't deficiencies. Moreover, they are centrally pertinent to our discussion ...
January 12, 2025 at 17:48
I'm asking you why you think it's empirically true that we remember what happens before our present tense experience? You say there's a jump from futu...
January 12, 2025 at 16:08
There remains the chance your logical possibility is based upon valid reasoning to a false conclusion. This can happen if your valid reasoning include...
January 12, 2025 at 00:27
Perhaps we don't say it, but we think it, don't we? I mean, if someone asked you, "Does time continue passing while you're asleep," you'd answer, "yes...
January 11, 2025 at 23:11
With this claim you validate the theoretical point with zero dimensions as the limit of the present. You also validate the phenomenal system which con...
January 10, 2025 at 21:44
Do you deny time is a phenomenon? You say time is a process; that's a functional system. Time is not a system, but a part of a system in the role of a...
January 10, 2025 at 19:11
The dynamical present is part of a phenomenal system of animate objects. From this system time emerges as a dimension that can function as a numerical...

Firstly, understanding that the possibility for an event must always precede the actual occurrence of that event is an awareness that happens in the e...

No one understanding relativity thinks spacetime is static. Einstein's 4-Manifold keeps the moon in its orbit around the earth; it keeps our solar sys...

When I finished reading this sentence, I slapped my palm to my forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, man! Now he tells me!" Given that your theory makes radica...
January 10, 2025 at 13:21
I'm asking you to say what you think happens as you travel in time. As you move from Jan 4 to Jan 5, do you get younger, or do you get older? If you g...
January 09, 2025 at 16:10
This process of the future becoming the past has the arrow of time moving in which direction: a) the events of Jan 5 change into the events of Jan 4; ...

Did you check out the teleodynamics link?

Firstly, I asked you to give me an example of a duration without math and without observation of a material object changing its position in space. Ins...

Are there two basic premises here: a) Material existence is a continuous recreation, moment-to-moment; b) Material creation, moment-to-moment, is glob...

Do you speak to the deep interconnection of existing things, as in the context of the butterfly effect? You're committing your temporal theory to a un...
