I like the word for such: impredicative as subject to unrestricted (unlimited) number and quality of variables with impact of changes beyond the (snapshot) view we observe. I believe 'our own (present-day) thoughts are that much simplistic that a TM CAN provide 'experiential' satisfaction. Comprehending the wholeness (tatality) is beyond our mind's 2005-level capability. Which does not translate in shoving it under the rug. John Mikes
