As I said, I only repeated standard wisdom about Russian national identity and how that stems pretty obviously from the problems of defending a sprawl...
I provided sources. If you want to posture on the issue, then provide the sources that argue against these sources. Kindly put up or shut up Where hav...
But QM sets it all up. It says there are two questions that could be asked that would fully dichotomise your coordinate system – your basis of measure...
Any bird, bumblebee or dragonfly? Perhaps maths, like logic and computation, is a view of nature that is accurate if nature were a machine. And perhap...
I’m merely pointing out the widely reported view that FSB corruption saw funds diverted from creating a network of stooges. That was one more proof th...
You are imagining you are talking to some unsophisticated soul. I’ve no illusions about how the world really works. I’ve seen how it works up close. I...
Or instead, the FSB’s expensive network of political stooges were meant to ensure a swift and easy win. But - irony - corruption saw the money going i...
I’m talking about Russian identity. Every country has one. Putin could be just taping into national mythology for cynical advantage. But more worrying...
I was talking about the basic Newtonian conception of space as the context that gives location to objects. Of course relativity then shows space ain’t...
So you accept it is nature and nurture – biology and sociology? Well then it comes down to the degree these do or should go hand in hand as two levels...
So the truth is that Putin is doing a good job executing a rational plan. Sounds legit. :lol: Ziehan's analysis – that the real ambition is to push al...
Precisely. There couldn’t be in a sense except that - like the Heat Death de Sitter state - it might mark the effective end of measurable change or di...
My systems view says you have to go still further into true holism. You are simply replacing one kind of constructive action - gluing - with an opposi...
Putin’s escalation plan of infrastructure destruction has now begun in earnest. Will Ukraine be armed with enough air defence to protect its civilian ...
No. It is a process manifesting temporality. You are just then projecting your object-oriented ontology on to that. Time and space are emergent proper...
The lack of a satisfactory answer to this challenge is why I had to abandon such realism. So is your claim that there is no why, and so that leads you...
My focus is systems science. Which means all of the above really. But neuroscience in particular. The point was that the processing removes vagueness ...
From the point of view of Aristotelean hylomorphism, Peicean semiotics, ontic structural realism, etc, the Cosmos is not an object, but a process. It ...
Where is it being said in relativity – as a theory of spacetime coordinates – that time doesn't exist or that time adjusts the speed of light? You are...
This is Russell's argument. This photograph of Keystone's face might be blurred, but Keystone's face itself is not. Therefore vagueness is merely epis...
Time is the measure of material change just as space is the measure of the lack of material change. So yes, they are measures - the coordinate system....
To have reasons but no purposes is incoherent. As humans, we are constrained by meanings. Our worlds are constructed to have preferences and intention...
Still strawmanning. My point is that existence is a hierarchy of constraints. And that constraints indeed define the freedoms at each stage. You are t...
What predictions does the “theory” make that are testable? The arguments have so many free parameters that they evade specific criticism. As I say, Ha...
The idea itself is easy to debunk. My particular reason for calling Hameroff a charlatan was the transparency with which when he saw I wasn’t buying h...
Talking of which, I was browsing this on structural chaos - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/279265558_Structural_Chaos (Undercooked, but an i...
Or rather the exact opposite. Or how deeply you misunderstand it. Argh! Hameroff is a charlatan. I don't say that lightly. Neurobiology certainly is q...
I'm a fan of semiotics – the modelling relation. So that is a formal theory of how observers and their realities relate by acts of measurement. I'm wo...
That isn't my argument. Maths can be treated as its own abstract game with its own generating axioms. That game generates a bunch of abstract nonsense...
You reject vagueness then. That is certainly the usual thing to do. :wink: And how do you know there is a rule unless you have ever seen some exceptio...
:up: As I've argued, science is founded on the pragmatism of the semiotic modelling relation. That changes the view of the situation. Axiomatic deduct...
You’ve got it back to front. It has been shown there is a generator that can produce an arbitrarily large number. You’ve accepted that. Now what needs...
Neural networks? It's a constraint not an algorithm. Different thing. See neural networks. But it places the intentionality or finality outside the sy...
Hah! Replace the "real object" with the abstract object and thus reveal the semiotic game being played. If you can't see a difference, there never was...
To correct myself, e and phi are different in that e is transcendental and phi is algebraic. That's something I need to dig into further. My argument ...
