Hello, I read your interesting paper and did have a question for you. It is a question I have myself thought for some time , and maybe it is relevant ...

If you remove a big rock from a river all at once, some of the water fills the gap that is left, and so the water that filled it becomes discrete upon...

They might certainly be fundamentally mutually established as you say, but all sorts of value systems come in when we start using one with the other. ...

One who abides by your view still needs to make a switch from the discrete view to the continuous view and vice versa, I am assuming. But is that swit...

Yes, I agree that they are human concepts. Let's say a person hallucinates a river, and so, it is completely that person's river, a 'human' river. My ...

I apologize for sliding into some irrelevance up there, but more will follow! Your point is a really interesting point, but how are the no sound point...

I think the human mind does not just "analyze" unbroken processes of change into smaller bits, because the eyes can actually 'see' reality as broken i...

As I have thought it, it is the third point in a triangle. Literally the third corner that makes it a triangular form. The points are not points of ti...

Thanks for your analysis. First, let me say that the problem is that by my definition a form has three points at least, so it is not about whether I n...

I feel like the idea of absurdity implies that there is an explanation to something and that that explanation is absurd, like an explanation we cannot...
September 05, 2020 at 15:20
No, I don't think my question was motivated by that; it was actually about 'in-between-ness' in becoming as such. A cup of tea is 'sliced' such that i...

There is not any thing like that to be honest :smile: . But the problem is that it is difficult to say that the idea of a 'continual progression' is '...

Yes, if 'everything flows' is taken broadly as a principle in reality, then there are no end-points, I completely agree. But I feel like given a parti...
September 04, 2020 at 17:01
I think that is very well said. The way you put it suggests that time is not that gentle a flow, and that it is not so much the middle-phase thing whi...

I had a thought once that, if things in the external world reached a certain level of noise, like literally a lot of different sounds coming and going...
September 03, 2020 at 19:35
I don't know if I was thinking of sub-dividing something to reach something extremely small, such that the question of infinity is raised. Rather, I w...
September 03, 2020 at 19:05
I really like this idea. Of late, I have been thinking not of the enchantment of the dream's world objects and storylines, but rather for me the impor...

If we think that yellow does not have to pass through some other color to get to blue, I think we may have the issue of whether we are dealing with th...
September 02, 2020 at 05:44
Thanks for raising this point. But I feel like you are thinking of becoming as the process between two prominent end points and an elusive middle . I ...
September 02, 2020 at 05:35
I completely agree with this. But when I was thinking of this, I was actually thinking of a machine that stops the process of becoming at red. I think...
September 02, 2020 at 05:22
You raise interesting points; it leads me to think that a lot might depend on the specific type of process or machine that is causing the becoming. Wh...
September 02, 2020 at 00:13
That's a really interesting philosophy. It seems, from your point, that the in-between phases in a supposed becoming are all a continuous part of the ...
September 01, 2020 at 19:42
It's cool, your thoughts were good to hear and I am thinking about them out loud here, although the terminology is quite new to me. So, one unit of Pl...
September 01, 2020 at 19:30
Yes, now that you mention it, it does sound like Xeno's paradox! Physics probably does have an answer for this. I might need to think this through, bu...
September 01, 2020 at 17:52
Yes, I agree. The way I see it, all processes involving becoming have a starting point and an end point, but with transitory phases in between. So yes...
