I agree with that, Steven. We forget how many bad paths Einstein went down
before he relied on a friend for key input when working on General Relativity.
It's all in his notebooks from the time.

Dear Ben,
I appreciate your very useful response.
I said the entire species and that the universe could not proceed, not the
entire universe. So I would not expect the impact to fill the eternal
Steven,
Here's a snippet from Boole that I think well illustrates
his take on the relation between logic and the psychology
of the thinking process.

...To suggest such a thing seems no more outrageous than Copernicus
proposing that our planet is not the center of things or Newton suggesting
that the observations made before him suggest a universal previously
unconsidered. Of course, I am well aware of the reluctance to make such
associations,

Steven –
I haven't been following this discussion until now.
I would just like to say that I love your 'ridiculously ambitious' attitude.
(I have characterized my own efforts as 'ridiculously ambitious'.)

Dear Stephen,
Dover Beach is a beautiful poem, I love it.
I assume that you are referring to Peirce's Preface to The Principles of
Philosophy in the Collected Papers, correct?
With respect,

I would agree with the general thrust of the comments that more specificity
is needed early. The current text appears to be motivated by a question
that it unfolds. I think that is a fine rhetorical device, however, it
needs to unroll in a few sentences and then hit us with an answer very
Steven, could you explain what you mean by sense in your post below (the
sense for which you trust there is a mechanical explanation)? In your blurb,
you seem to use the word in at least 3 different meanings.
Talking about Aetherometry, I think you might find the Correas' book

Dear Malgosia,
By sense I refer to the variety of differentiations of experience, be it the
text book classifications, pain, electroception, or thought. I have only one

things about it. First, over the years of my work I have developed an aversion

I am sorry, but this inflated piece of vacuous hype would forever discourage me
from having anything to do with the book. The only half-way informative tidbit
is that the book concerns a logic informed by recent advances in biophysics.
By the way, On Sense and Reference is not a book but a
