This is a discussion centred around information theories, and information is about difference. “Communication requires an emphasis on our commonalitie...
Let me clarify a few points here. First, it is one’s understanding of objectivity that is based on intersubjectivity. Second, I’m not disregarding log...
A ‘definition’ of a concept is a practical reduction of meaningful information, an attempt to represent a particular pattern of experience in such a w...
Yeah I got that loud and clear. Still not entirely sure why, though. My reference to ‘political’ was in relation to power relations, not politics as s...
If you think that you can ‘see’ six dimensions in the image that the string theory article shows, then you’re kidding yourself. What they’re expecting...
You keep returning to logical and actual truth, as if they’re the only way something can be true. But the meaning of truth refers to the accuracy or r...
Start with definitions - yes, I agree here. From there, we proceed into discussions regarding the structure of the concept, with the aim to approach a...
I agree that our aspirations have some similarities, and also enjoy discussing your theory because I see a lot of merit to it. The ideas you have brou...
I understand your dissatisfaction with where I’m at in developing my theory. I have referred to this fifth dimension with a number of different terms ...
A measurement of time is the relation of a perception of change to an observer, but there is no universal measure of time. “This is time for us: a mul...
When something is objective, there is no subject, but there is still relative distance between objects. And that distance makes a difference to what s...
I’m not talking about logic, though. Objective truth, expressed as a manifold possibility, isn’t about separate ‘truths’, and from memory I have yet t...
I disagree that it’s a new meaning as such, or a new concept, for that matter. I’ll grant that it’s an alternative perspective of the meaning of ‘dime...
Measurable is not necessarily quantitative, and not necessarily spatial. These are the main assumptions that I think prevent a reasonable understandin...
I recognise how important it is to agree on the meaning of terms, words, etc, or to at least begin with a standard definition, even if we don’t stay t...
In principle, I suppose it can. This is likely a misunderstanding on my part. Probability is a mathematical reduction of potentiality, and is determin...
Why can’t it still be dimensional, though? I recognise that what we’re talking about exists beyond (yet in relation to) the four dimensions that scien...
You keep referring to what we can ‘express as truth’, but this is far from objective. What we can express as truth is less accurate than what truth we...
We keep going around in circles here. You define ‘truth’ as what exists ‘right now’, but your perspective of ‘right now’ or the ‘present’ is necessari...
None of the above. Reasoning is understanding something via conscious thought processes, and need not use only logic. Intuition is defined as “the abi...
A quantitative measure of probability in relation to an isolated future event is all a physicist can hope to achieve with any degree of certainty, whi...
Can you do that? I was reluctant to enter into an in-depth discussion here, but felt I needed to respond to repeated accusation of being ‘evasive’. I ...
The problem with discussing this only in relation to ‘intuition’ and ‘reason’ is that we don’t really understand or agree on what these concepts are o...
It isn’t a matter of either/or in terms of feelings or intuition INSTEAD of math or logic, but rather BOTH/AND. It is the unique way we each construct...
There’s no need to apologise for not understanding - the onus is on me to present it in a way that makes sense to you. To that end, I appreciate your ...
I agree that an infinite potential as sheer possibility is meaningless, OR infinitely meaningful, which is the same thing, really. I have not suggeste...
Because you blatantly dismiss anything I attempt to put into my own words, I’ll start with some quotes from the Wikipedia entry on ‘Measurement’: Info...
I think you misunderstand the nature of quantum mechanics here (or perhaps this refers to an interpretation that I’m not familiar with). As far as I c...
A superman or extremely powerful computer still have human limitations, just not as many. Possible combinations of interacting facts are potentially u...
What actuality of the seed is its potential? A biologist can look at its shape and size, but that tells you nothing unless you already know the relati...
Flippant? There’s an understatement. I don’t think you’re sorry at all. There’s no point in having a discussion with you, if you’re going to ignore an...
No, our perception is a process based on only a small amount of potential (incomplete) sensory information from the past - the rest of it is your mind...
‘Bottle’ and ‘plastic’ exist as conceptual structures in the human mind. Objective truth is not the concepts, but the reality these conceptual structu...
First of all, I’ve suggested that your responses demonstrate an arrogance and a refusal to learn - I’m still hoping they’re an inaccurate portrayal, a...
Not to make a potential cat, no. But time directionality is required for genes to make an actual cat. Language and probability make no distinction bet...
Neither am I, so no need to apologise. But your resistance to even attempting to understand how your belief system relates to quantum potentiality is ...
What is not dependent on the mind for existence? I understand why you’re saying that the most basic information is the plastic-like substance, its act...
You seem to be using metaphors from these theories to bolster your own, without any deeper understanding of how the analogies are applied. This seems ...
This statement of mine was describing the limitation of my perception, as I see it. But possibility is not necessarily significance - there is no ‘utt...
Yes. I agree that two individuals imagined to have lived the exact same life would have the capacity to ‘judge’ their experiences differently within t...
‘Quantum field’ is a structural metaphor, but the analogy on which it is based is backed by complex mathematical formulas which demonstrate the relati...
In a way, yes. But I’m not just talking about the same physical position, but to have occupied the same position over the entire course of their life:...
Right - “without any further consideration whatsoever regarding the possibility” - that is, excluding the possibility. I could say ignorant, but most ...
You can be certain of the truth of your report only by excluding the possibility that you may be mistaken; and that yours is not the only valid perspe...
We will likely never agree on this entirely, which I will always find intriguing. I think that certainty is not something we can possess or claim with...
You can be subjectively certain that it is true. But you cannot be certain of eliminating the remote possibility that you could be hallucinating, and ...
We have reflexes, involuntary actions in our peripheral nervous system, where there is a direct link between sensory and motor neurons, sure. I’m refe...
This is the interesting thing, because (while it may not matter how I express it) it does matter where the ‘input’ comes from. First of all, if the me...
