Logic is just a branch of mathematics which studies discourse and their interpretation. >My point has to do with the way you folks seem to be >trying to understand *everything*.

Most discourses are sequential but the thinking behind does not need to be sequential.

Recall I have until here give only an informal (although persuasive IMO) argument showing that if we can survive with a digitale brain then physics transform itself into a branch of machine psychology. UDA = UDA http://www.escribe.com/science/theory/m1726.html And currently, I have just proposed to some to explain the technical part of my thesis where I will explicitely show how quantum logic in the discourse of the introspective UTM. I' dont feel myself searching in a space. >I'd love to be expert enough in logic and mathmatics >to demonstrate all the brick-walls I see intuitively, >unfortunately, I am not now, or likely to be good >enough in formalized systems of logic to do so. It is true that logic is poorly taught. But then that is the reason why I propose to take it at the beginning. Of course that demand some works. >I was hoping to call attention to other facilities we >all posses to expand understanding in areas that seem >to defy understanding. Thank you. Such facilities are welcome, although they are in general much more difficult to communicate. Read the UDA. It is IMO such a "facililities". The logic is only for those who have grasped UDA and want to see the emergence of the quantum in machine's mind. To be honest I think you were also rather hardhearted with Brent Meeker's post. That post was indeed indirectly pointing to the very reasonable critics which can be adress to Thaetetus definition of knowledge (true and justify) which entails we can know think for bad or reason. To introduce "causality" in the definition of knowledge is a move which will be forbidden by comp and UDA, we must on the contrary extract the squeletton on causal proposition from our definition of knowledge or better observation. In fact that remarks is important and we will be obliged to say more on that, soon or later. Bruno
