Like so much in LENR theory, the hydrino is born in the process of human concept formation. Humans understand the world by a series of observations and then they form a concept to try to understand those observations. It’s the duck process.
If it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. If the observer of the duck stops at this level of conceptualization of the duck because it makes him happy, then the observer can use this conceptualization to explain his world. But his concept may just be a coincidence. It just might be that many things have come together in a special way to provide an illusion of a duck. The hydrino is an illusion caused by many observations coming together in a particular context to form the illusionary concept of the hydrino. Sir Isaac Newton formed a concept of gravity that served him well but was really a duck. That concept was replaced by a better one when Newton’s concept failed to explain new observations that showed that the Newton concept was false. The hydrino has a limited scope of applicability to the world, but its conceptualization has been expanded into a universal concept that is too broad and is false. This is common in LENR were a series of observations are formulated into a limited concept. But when that concept is used to explain and predict behavior outside of that limitation, it fails. The goal is to find the primary and most basic conceptualization that can be successfully applied and predictive in all possible cases (AKA the truth)
