Hi Bruno Marchal Good point. Some say that matter is ultimately mental. Hmmmm. But as far as I know, it still seems to have dimensions at least down to the fundamental particle level. And Heisenberg seems to forbid us from having much success at smaller sizes.
I guess I should define the physical as that which is, or is thought to be, measureable. So: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actual = that which has spacetime dimensions Inherent = that which does not have spacetime dimensions An agent = An inherent and autonomous control and observation center. A self = an agent Real = persistent actuality or inherence independent of a self Consciousness = The realm of any activity by a self Intelligence = Decision making by an agent or self ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Clough, rclo...@verizon.net 9/24/2012 "Forever is a long time, especially near the end." -Woody Allen ----- Receiving the following content ----- From: Bruno Marchal Receiver: everything-list Time: 2012-09-24, 09:03:42 Subject: Re: Does Platonia exist ?
