Sure. Let’s not confuse epistemology and ontology once more. It would be handy to have some kind of highlighter button to mark the switch in register....

I wonder how we see yellow when the retina has three kinds of photoreceptor cone and none are tuned to yellow as their frequency?
July 30, 2024 at 00:27
Books here I take as the construction of an interior world of increasing semiotic abstraction. And that can run counter to life’s other enterprise of ...

July 29, 2024 at 23:28
So there are the known unknowns and then the unknown unknowns which we can believe surely also must exist? That kind of thing? For me, it would is a m...
July 29, 2024 at 23:26
No. It gathered a good bunch of people to drill into self-organising complexity in the broad sense. But then over-generalised that dynamicist view at ...
July 29, 2024 at 23:15
As the OP said. Dialectically. As a rationalising balance of the competition~cooperation dynamic by which all natural systems – from ecologies to soci...

I hoped the world would wake up and change. But that moment was already missed in the 1990s if not the 1970s. So Model B is the world as it is likely ...

Bye bye. :grin:

But they arise within the beauty of this larger pattern. Okun’s cube of theories. As outlined here…. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment...

By you. Are you sure you’re feeling quite well this morning? You seem to be in some kind of psychic crisis.
July 29, 2024 at 21:31
Yep and what? If you want to strut about here, answer the OP. What do you propose as the dialectical ethical algorithm that could scale so as to make ...
July 29, 2024 at 21:28
We have options. The OP says that. Time now to give your answer on the option that scales.
July 29, 2024 at 21:25
Hence all things being constrained by Poincaré invariance. Or stepping back further to a thermalising perspective, de Sitter invariance.
July 29, 2024 at 21:24
I said the future is pragmatically constrained. I really don’t understand how you keep failing to understand what is simply obvious. What should Tasma...
July 29, 2024 at 21:13
And also that the real issue is what can be done about it. Which returns us to the “is” rather neatly. Our range of views on the oughts is pragmatical...
July 29, 2024 at 21:02
But we can have a theory of reference frames can’t we? We continue on as we see with holography, de Sitter metrics, or twistor space. We can have gene...
July 29, 2024 at 20:50
It depends on your metaphysics if an exact quantum gravity theory is needed instead of an effective one. It you believe that emergence rules, that top...
July 29, 2024 at 11:08
Doesn’t the same problem crop up in a relativistic context such as the simultaneity issue? No absolute reference frame and yet that can still be appro...
July 29, 2024 at 10:23
Says who apart from you? Can you cite some source for this opinion? And why would maths be a judge of how physics proceeds anyway. I just point out th...
July 29, 2024 at 10:04
Classicality comes to be in the limit. So reality never arrives at that ideal conception we have of it, but through decoherence, it approaches a class...
July 29, 2024 at 09:09
I can't take this too seriously. Have you studied much fundamental physics? Especially with quantum field theory and particle physics, the tendency ha...
July 29, 2024 at 08:47
But note the comment that Uexküll creatively re-interpreted Kant's transcendental idealism so as to make it more biologically realistic. Idealism had ...
July 29, 2024 at 08:11
I don't make shit up like you just did. Wonder a bit more about the why of that.
July 29, 2024 at 07:29
July 29, 2024 at 07:28
So maybe your confusion is that we all ought to be silent in your presence? If you say very little, that is already quite enough for everyone concerne...
July 29, 2024 at 07:25
Only to point out how you keep failing to properly answer anything. The only concrete updates concern the height of your intray of urgent messages to ...
July 29, 2024 at 07:20
It has been many years now. Banno remains coy about what his metaphysics truly is. I have no idea what he wants to hide from us. But it is probably so...
July 29, 2024 at 07:01
It seems you tried to spit and embarrassingly the drool trails down your shirtfront. Is this the school yard retort you hoped for in lieu of actually ...
July 29, 2024 at 05:58
More dribble.
July 29, 2024 at 05:28
This is his problem. If the world reveals itself to the degree it can frustrate our desires, then dialectically this epistemology of truth demands the...
July 29, 2024 at 05:26
So it is for the folk. But only if they are just like you? Sounds accurate.
July 29, 2024 at 05:21
The wrath of the mighty will soon be upon you. First cutting and then magnanimous. As the godly always are. :wink:
July 29, 2024 at 03:02
But I am doing the opposite. Social construction is what language allowed. (The paleoanthropology of language evolution is one of my special areas.) T...
July 29, 2024 at 03:00
Ooh, burn! :fire:
July 29, 2024 at 02:56
Well I wanted a serious answer in terms of the beliefs that led to a stampede into symbolic processing as the way to crack consciousness in the 1970s ...
July 29, 2024 at 02:54
But that is the syntax, or the rules of argument construction and transmission. The geometry of relations to complement the algebra of the relatables.
July 29, 2024 at 02:50
That is only half the deal though. These days you must have also fudged some data. :razz:
July 29, 2024 at 02:46
I was only hoping for a serious answer. I've spent enough time in lectures and presentations on the matter.
July 29, 2024 at 02:43
So that suggests it all comes back to "number", even for what where then the liberal arts (a way to squeeze things past the eagle eye of the Church?)....
July 29, 2024 at 02:37
In what sense is it "run" by a computer. Messages can be tapped out in morse code on a telegraph wire. And to the degree that CTM was a stab at a theo...
July 29, 2024 at 02:22
Erm. What are these and how would we know?
July 29, 2024 at 01:59
Well I sort of said that geometry/topology is where they look to come the closest. Hence why Peirce’s existential graphs and Spencer-Brown’s laws of f...
July 29, 2024 at 01:56
Descartes argued for a separation of hardware and software - a dyadic separation of that kind. And computer science claimed that separability as what ...
July 29, 2024 at 01:51
For whom? And what was their purpose? Always just half the story. Lumpen realism delivered from an egocentrically fixed view.
July 29, 2024 at 01:40
I agree with the general point that you are making, but it also has the difficulty that a perceptible world - a perception-enabling world - must come ...
July 29, 2024 at 01:34
Yep. So not at all a dogmatic slumber then. :up:
July 29, 2024 at 01:20
It is arguing the same point. Cartesian representationalism is the approach that creates all its own problems. Embodied cognition is saying something ...
July 29, 2024 at 01:16
Where is yours defined? What theory are you talking about?
July 29, 2024 at 00:43
You mean like this? - https://www.nature.com/articles/nrn2787
