I think that guidelines are formed for all acts (corporeal actions) and retained as: 1) Tacit (Implicit Empirical) Knowledge 2) Declarative (Explicit ...

Inanity. Sounds like you're spent, so I'm outta here.

So emergence has nothing to do with Multiple Realizability? Fair enough.
December 16, 2019 at 16:01
Which brings us to emergence.
December 16, 2019 at 15:33
Multiple Realizability is consistent with current Natural Science (inductive evidence). Corporeal and mental events are mutually dependent, but incomm...

Off-topic. Thanks for proving my point.
December 16, 2019 at 10:03
Apparently, some can only think milk.
December 16, 2019 at 09:42
You forgot: "bravery" in combat. I think rather than "rationality", a more general and appropriate category would be "pragmatic mental action", becaus...

Ignorant discussion thus far. You need to read (at least portions of) this book: Handbook of the Philosophy of Science Volume 8: Philosophy of Informa...

For the most common usage of the word "theology", the phrase "theology without God" doesn't make sense. So, I would say: 1) Materialism is just theolo...

A town and a city are two different types of social group. Each type has many tokens. Every social group has a unique culture. So: 1) The culture of e...

If Dunbar is correct, a large human social group has no bearing on the number of friends and acquaintances one of its members may have. Dunbar's Numbe...

My own definition of the same, or similar, terms relate to the domain of human mind and its ontological presuppositions. So they take into considerati...

Pain interoception (nociception) is a type of corporeal state perception (sensation mental effect). So, pain is a psychological state caused by a phys...

Experience is the springboard of imagination (Einstein's pure thought).
December 10, 2019 at 16:28
You conflate imagination and mental conception. Conception is the process of conceiving (generally, creating and/or developing) an idea, plan, underst...

Language is neither structured by the world, nor does it structure the world. Language use (Literacy) is: 1) A human faculty which develops subjective...
December 09, 2019 at 09:43
Fair enough. Then being familiar with On Certainty, perhaps you could explain in what sense beliefs are elements (or foundational parts) of language?
December 07, 2019 at 16:22
I think that: 1) Language is a code (specific and structured data) consisting of a set of symbols having paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations, hence...

Excellent summary.

Consider it left.

You need to give Shannon & Weaver (Mathematical Theory of Communication,1949) a careful read.
December 06, 2019 at 15:15
What it says is: "(now rare) The creation of form; the imparting of a given quality or characteristic; forming, animation." Which has Aristotelian con...

No.7 here, or No.3 here.

By definition, form (code) precedes information.
December 06, 2019 at 12:24
Yeah, like I have time for your vanity project. We are done here.
November 17, 2019 at 13:40
Good case in point. You required a negative emoticon to communicate.
November 17, 2019 at 12:23
Okay, let's get simple: if your nation is invaded by another nation, aggression would be an appropriate (reasonable) response.

Inasmuch as the human psyche is a complex system which includes interactions between body, environment, sensitivity, affect, emotion, motivation, perc...

I'm accusing you of willful ignorance. Besides being presumptuous, that comment would be a case of psychological projection. But I'm beginning to tire...

The meaning of "equivocation" and "general definition". Apart from that, I think it would be much more instructive to describe consciousness in terms ...
November 14, 2019 at 22:26
Obviously not. A definition in terms of probability is a mathematical definition, and Bateson's definition is a semantic definition, and a thermodynam...

From the first two links in this post, information is: 1) the latent power of mental contents 2) That algorithm of Consciousness 3) the answer to a qu...

Then dissipation. Then heat death.
November 13, 2019 at 13:58
Everything emerges from Platonic mathematics, monkeys evolve into transhumans, then heat death. Next question. :wink:

Hello, Yanni. For starters, what is: 1) Perceived reality? And how does it differ from unperceived reality, or reality in general? 2) An external proj...

In short: crowds function on emotion, not thought, so; are capable of being easily directed (or manipulated), but not of providing direction.
October 26, 2019 at 15:15
The shop is an organised social subgroup, having a culture (collective mindset) which predisposes its members to certain behaviours. When the shop ass...

Competent urban planning mitigates the effects of crowd behaviour. What seems to be more at issue is whether or not crowd behaviour: 1) Is spontaneous...

The typical reaction of the individual members of a group to situational factors without consideration of societal norms.

Rather than a sublimation of individuation, I think a sense of empowerment and diffused responsibility are products of deindividuation.
October 19, 2019 at 16:00
Crowd: transitory, unorganised, social group consisting of people who have undergone deindividuation. Deindividuation: loss of self (personal and soci...

The OP conflates language, speech, aesthetics, and non-verbal communication.
September 29, 2019 at 11:17
My current conception: Awareness is perception (sensation mental effect) and cognisance (perception acknowledgment). Perception is objective (fact-bas...

Check out recent research on mirror neurons.

Correct. As explained here, empathy establishes what is moral and what is immoral.
September 20, 2019 at 13:12
Events are as much fact as objects are. The holocaust is an example of what was an immoral fact (perceived particular).
