Hi Stephen P. King Contingent ordering is what happens to perfection, given time. Because of entropy.

Or does it ? Hi Roger, That is exactly my question! How does Platonism show the contingent to be necessary? As far as I have found, it cannot show necessity of the contingent. In the rush to define the perfect, all means to show the necessity of contingency was thrown out. This is why I propose that we define existence as necessary possibility; we have contingency built into our ontology in that definition. ;-) > > Roger Clough, [email protected] > 11/8/2012 > "Forever is a long time, especially near the end." -Woody Allen > > > ----- Receiving the following content ----- > From: meekerdb > Receiver: everything-list > Time: 2012-11-07, 13:19:38 > Subject: Re: Communicability > > > On 11/7/2012 5:52 AM, Stephen P.
