Philosophical Speculations

I still think Nevens attempt at recasting numbers as wave frequencies is an elegant attempt at marrying mathematics with spiritual and metaphysical insight, since waves are scale invariant. There's a relation with Relop approch, as strings of relational operators, e.g. <>< <> ><> <<> <> <>> ><> <> ...

I get that some people can just accept the notion of an underlying spirit which differentiates itself (which is the same as BKs description for the mechanism of cosmic consciousness disassociating) - but I think the same thing can be said in more specific and nuanced ways. Why not marry spiritual, ...

That is the biggest difference between the mystical idealism of Schopenhauer and Western idealism in the spirit of Steiner - the former has no interest in the physical world and its natural forms, because it considers all of that hopelessly disconnected from the noumenal realm. Steiner, on the othe...

The meaning here is, " the human spiritual activity of Thinking weaves back together the fragmented experiences of form-progressions into an organic unity which satisfies our need for harmonious knowledge ". The other key thing to understand is that, as long as we continue searching for e...

Why couldn't everything you say is going on be the very nature of a substance? Ie. Positing a fundamental substance doesn't necessitate static entities. Process could still be what a substance is doing, while also leaving space for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of process I don’t underst...

Regarding my original comment on the isomorphic relationship ships between an experience of reality and the interpretation/model of the thing experienced. But it gets more complicated than this because even a model is partly defned by the experience, so perhaps it doesn't work in this way. Yes, let...

Needless to say, I disagree. What we know for certain is that there is ideating activity, and we can come to know the essence of that activity by considering our own ideating activity and its living transformations. We can then conclude that meanings are ontic and universal. Meaning is the fundamen...

not everything that is modeled is experienced. What do you mean by that? Regarding my original comment on the isomorphic relationship ships between an experience of reality and the interpretation/model of the thing experienced. But it gets more complicated than this because even a model is partly d...

I'm using the word "representation" colloquially, not referencing "representation theory" OK. You expressed "interpreted" as a close synonym with "represented". Interpretation is a process I'm familiar with, it's a transformation of a sort. In my comprehensio...

Our experiences are representations of reality, as our models are representations of reality. Yet neither is reducable to the other, and our knowledge and understanding of reality is more complete with both. Ah. I don't believe in representation theory, as I don't believe in objective realism. I'm ...
