************* The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] ************ It seems to me that the word "know" has different meanings and the meaning used in TROM is very often a very particular one. Here it means "getting the other guy to accept my PD postulate".
One could also know something by being able to access data about it in one's mind. Or one could know something by pervading it fully, adopting its (or his or her) viewpoint and sharing what it knows already. And there are other methods of knowing too. In TROM when one "knows" something one has, to a degree, accepted the other guy's PD postulate. It is therefore an Effect position. Knowing by pervading is a Cause position, and it is an act where one makes no attempt at all to get the other guy to accept any data. One is simply adopting, for a moment or two, the other's position and viewpoint and knowing what it knows; or even things about it that it does not knowingly know. These are all things to play with. Also one should not flip meanings in mid process. Leo _______________________________________________ Trom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.newciv.org/mailman/listinfo/trom
