Relations would require space since they occur among/between? separate objects.

Anything can be sacred given enough people believe it so.

The information that represents a mortgage (whatever its format - hard copy, virtual copy, mental copy) must have a limit (or set of) that defines its...

What if they (the mortgages) are created at the same time (and taken out by the same person)?

I dont really know how to answer your question. How I see it, legs (or extremities, in general) allow you navigate the environment (they help you move...

To think about something is plain thinking. The "about" comes from your consciousness which is ultimately plain thinking. With respect to the walking ...

If there exist individuals that do not occupy a space, how can they be differentiable? How do you separate an individual that does not occupy a space ...

I think that if you wanted to transfer someone's consciousness into another body, you would either have to replace the whole central nervous system of...

I think I understand. But let me ask you something: an individual must occupy some sort of space (an individual must necessarily be different from wha...

If I was "transferred" to your body, I assure you I would act more like you than you like me. Why would you act more like me when I am experiencing yo...

This is how I kind of see the mind/brain thing. The interaction of the body with the environment changes the physicochemical composition of the body, ...
December 09, 2021 at 01:44
But sensations detect change (something in the environment must activate them beyond a threshold). Change is implicit in the function of the sensation...
December 07, 2021 at 02:24
These are some thoughts that as you will see are not very well constructed but might help you look at change from a different point of view, maybe. Ch...

@"Bartricks" I believe the mind is physical. In your analogy of the house with two floors, the kind of dependency of the second floor on the first (a ...

Very good point.... any ideas?
September 08, 2021 at 03:30
I think you should read about this (Constructive Neutral Evolution)... it might help you in your investigation. On the Possibility of Constructive Neu...

Physical matter is not information; instead, I was trying to argue that the term "information" describes the present state* of a system which belongs ...
August 20, 2021 at 01:12
To be honest I do not understand quite well what you mean by form. I also don't understand when you say that information is causal. To me, information...
August 17, 2021 at 13:30
Ok, I'll try hopefully with some success (which might not be the case). I wanna say information describes a change in some physical quantity of each s...

Yeah that was just for fun. Don't do drugs!

HEY, I just wanted to leave this here. Very interesting video - I have not read the paper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=makaJpLvbow&ab_channel=IZGa...
August 12, 2021 at 00:59
I didn't say that. I said: the change that occurs in each element of a set of interacting objects is information, and as such information is not a pro...

Imagine a card deck. If you shuffle the cards and place them side by side in a flat rectangular shape (i.e., a 4 x 13 rectangle) - and do this several...

In other words, I agree that information is a quality of objects if and only if it is a quality that results from an interaction.
August 10, 2021 at 01:25
, you are saying information describes a primary substance. If information describes (I am using "information" as the subject of my sentence), how doe...
August 10, 2021 at 01:22
What's the difference between the primary substance and the information about it?
August 10, 2021 at 00:54
So, in the hypothetical scenario in which there exists only one thing, this lonely thing would be in its entirety pure information; is this correct?
August 10, 2021 at 00:35
Call me stubborn, but I keep thinking of information as being subjective; with that I mean that it is not a quality of an object, but it is instead (i...

Hey. I am interested in knowing why you think no answer can be given to such question; it's just curiosity.

Vibrations would require the wall to be movable.

Where is the Physics in your post?

Check this. Imagine two objects, object A and object B. In the absence of object B, object A behaves in a particular way; let's call it the a state of...
August 07, 2021 at 04:35
I wanna say information is not a quality of an object but depends on an interaction; so, the way a satellite orbiting the Earth "experiences" Earth is...

I could also say that the universe brings meaning to the universe since meaning is, in very broad terms, a molecular response to the external environm...
