Owen,
Is the program we built together.... MOTH ..... a thing?
Yes.
That's funny, because I have always thought of programs as extremely
refined arguments.
No. They are algorithms. And can be built upon.
Ex: The probability based on population was new for us then and we've
used it many times since.
Programs and simulations show the entailments of an
argument with a precision that no [other form of] philosophical
argument
could hope for.
Indeed, that's our point, and the gist of Please God No.
