WTF, Dan, I've read LILA & associated texts and come up with "ever-changing,
conditionally co-dependent, impermanent and conceptualized". Do you disagree?
That's not a problem for me, because:
"Unlike subject-object metaphysics the Metaphysics of Quality does not insist
on a single exclusive truth." (LILA, Chapter 8)
"The Metaphysics of Quality says there can be many competing truths and it is
value that decides among them. This is the very essence of William James'
philosophy of Pragmatism which Bohr greatly admired. The name "Complementarity"
itself means there can be multiple truths."
(SODV)
Poor Dan, Marsha thought. He seems to be stuck on a a single, exclusive,
interpretation of truth.
