In a universal recursion of the law of identity everything including our intuition would obey pattern matching and the first five pattern matching neu...
Intuition arises from the intrinsic self-organizing systems logic caused by everything being context dependent for our body and neurons. It can be des...
Any system obeys the principle that it requires significant content and a greater context which, combined, enforces a Conservation of Creativity and E...

In over ten years of my asking if anyone knows the simple distinction between a lynch mob and a democracy I have yet to hear the correct answer and ov...
Death is not a complete system. A car engine idling nicely is a complete system expressing the lowest possible energy state, while engine parts scatte...
I'm certainly no expert on Nietzche who's work has never interested me, but the two sentences make for great jokes. Often I tell people the moment I b...
Harmony neither acts nor reasons, and contentment is the harmony of the lowest possible energy state of the complete system, when we no longer make di...

To be or not to be is never the question when virtue is its own reward and wonder the beginning of wisdom, while contentment comes at no cost. A woman...
This is archaic thinking to say the least. A shadow is non-deterministic, yet we can still calculate its impact and origins. In fact, you can't have a...
My book is an attempt to bring that kind of mathematical formalism to Asian philosophy. Essentially, it assumes the law of identity goes down the near...
That's close to my own thinking, but was obviously written before the discovery that the second law of thermodynamics is violated more frequently the ...
The branching is an artifact of quantum mechanics still being formulated using classical mathematics when all the evidence, including macroscopic evid...
