Points come in sizes?

You got some way of putting it, I have to admit! "Impressionistic locutions. Sounds like a new art form.

The philosophical concept of "Dialectics" originated with the Greeks around 2500 years ago with an Anatolian/Ephesian philosopher named, Heraclitus. I...

Marx took Greek and Hegelian Dialectics and applied it to Economic Theory. He coined a phrase that remains synonymous with Marxism...."Class struggle"...

How many points do I have to throw in the bag to fill it?

I would have quietly followed you. To watch that movie in the theater next to it and drink some beers. Maybe we stumbled on some truly interesting stu...

You can throw as many points in the bag as you like. It's never filled.

But how you glue two points together. How can you construct a continuum with points as building blocks?

Ah! Found it! "In modal logic, the necessity of identity is the thesis that for every object x and object y, if x and y are the same object, it is nec...

What are those?

That's not that difficult to understand. It involves backward collapse. The present collapsing the wave in the past. Example: a double slit. If the wa...

The law of the excluded middle stems from physics.

The wavefunction can be seen as made uo from hidden variablds. Bohm was called names because of this in his time (foolish Trotskyan, mindless child, e...

A quantum particle hops non-locally between different position, within the bounds of the wavefunction.

The argument only goes to show that the continuum cannot be broken up in points. Leading to confused notions of infinitesimals or differentials. BTW, ...

What does the program say. Where in the brain it is situated? If there is such an internal program, how dies it apply to the process in the brain? Fro...

What is the program in the process, if any? What's the program in a fire? What says the program? What are the steps in the program?

Then where is the external program in our brain?

Of course. But you can test to confirm also.

It's not a matter of opinion.

The process is not a program. A program resides external to the process. That's exactly my point.

But there is no program guiding it.

Yes, but where is the program directing the process?

But you can test if it is true and confirm it.

Why should they have practical meaning in the first place? But to give a practical example, the twin paradox has significant practical impact to futur...

If this is claimed, I already smell something... Why is it bad to be sure of what you hold to be there? Is it false humility?

:up:

The genetics is very real. Not falsified. Then there is the unproven central dogma in biology.

Thomas Malthus, eugenics, are alive and kicking... :scream:

No. In AI, everything is programmed by a program you can point to. Where is the program in our brain?

That's not programmed. That's part of the free process.

You really think a dog is conscious about the fact she's conscious? It would impair the playful character.

Because there is a split between the process and the program directing it. Of course the program evolves freely when set in motion, but the process it...

Of course. But its nit a freely evolving process.

Does this apply to the conscious life of animals,?

Every computation has the property of not being able to wear conscious life. Conscious life can appear only in a freely evolving process,, without a p...

Just curious: sometimes there is a direct quote to posts, sometimes not. You use two computers?

Of what else?

Maybe he recovered from his manic psychosis episode. Maybe TPF is his best medicine against depression! Who can tell?

Dear mother of gods... Don't get me started, brother Agent! :starstruck:

Animals can be good and bad too. They defend their children or fellows from bad forces. Like the lion saving his pall from the evil group of sharky bi...

Panpsychism!

Back? I went forward! What is an infinitesimal?
