Re: Is Truth Value Merely an Occurence?
Ok, consciousness as compound reactions is what makes sense to me, the fact that it involves both subject and object means distinction is both reaction and the understanding, understanding being itself just one more reaction which is projected outwardly to a meaningless world.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 18, 2025 4:42 amConsciousness is distinction...that is evident as it makes its own distinction of being.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 16, 2025 5:56 pmAlright, semantics is sometimes important.

Re: Is Truth Value Merely an Occurence?
Consciousness is a distinction made by consciousness that make consciousness what it is. Biology is one of an infinite number of distinctions and yet by nature of being distinct reflects the same nature of distinction. For example the distinction of branching cracks in a rock share the same form as the branches of a tree or branches of a genetic lineage.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 24, 2025 5:36 amOk, consciousness as compound reactions is what makes sense to me, the fact that it involves both subject and object means distinction is both reaction and the understanding, understanding being itself just one more reaction which is projected outwardly to a meaningless world.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 18, 2025 4:42 amConsciousness is distinction...that is evident as it makes its own distinction of being.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 16, 2025 5:56 pm

The distinction of "the branch" reflects across innumberable phenomena.
A branch is a form, a form is a distinction, distinctions existence by nature of occurence. We know reality by nature of it occuring. Things just are, "isness" is justification.

Re: Is Truth Value Merely an Occurence?
I feel you are on to something here, but it is not very clear. Let's discuss Darwin's tree of life. Perhaps we can find some common ground here. The characteristics of the object or the world as an object are not consciousness; certainly, pattern recognition of something that consciousness actively does. Consciousness is both sensing and understanding, which together constitute meaning. It is the object or energy form that causes an alteration in the biology of the organism. This is sensing, the effect of which is, through the understanding what it means to the survival and well-being of the body or biology. I think what you are on about is pattern recognition, but this is not an explanation of the processes of consciousness.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 6:21 amConsciousness is a distinction made by consciousness that make consciousness what it is.

Distinction is what allows consciousness to occur, consciousness occurs through distinctions, consciousness is a distinction.

A branch is a form, a form is a distinction, distinctions existence by nature of occurence. We know reality by nature of it occuring. Things just are, "isness" is justification.
For example I will give two distinctions: branching and spirals.
Where do we see these?
Branching:
Cracks in rock.
Cracks in dry dirt.
Blood vessels.
Veins.
Arteries.
The nervous system.
Tree branches.
Plants branching.
Cracks in a mirror.
Cracks in glass.
Genetic lineage.
Mapped possible outcomes from choice.
Deer antlers.
Streets.
Roads.
Highways.
Meaning of words.
****Darwin's tree of life.
Etc.
The spiral:
Tornadoes
Hurricanes.
Whirlpools.
Snail shells.
Sea shells.
Energy vortexes.
Meaning of words.
Recursive sequences.
Fractals.
Galaxies.
Hypnotic spiral.
Etc.
Now the above is a very short list however what do all these various things contain? Distinctions. The distinction of the branch. The distinction of the spiral.
Distinction is what allows a thing to be and distinctions, such as a branch or spiral, overlay upon other distinctions, such as a hurricane or the nervous system or even how the meaning of words map out.
Distinctions are constant within being, they are being for without distinctions things cease.
Biology is a distinction.
Distinction is occurence.

Re: Is Truth Value Merely an Occurence?
Patterns mean nothing in the absence of a conscious subject; patterns, objects are the fuel of consciousness; take away consciousness, and they cease to be. Take away the patterns/objects, and consciousness ceases to be, subjectively, the only way you know there is a world. Biology is the measure and the meaning of all things. To understand your subjective reality, think in terms of energy, frequencies, and vibrations. Biological consciousness is the only source of meaning in our subjective world.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 28, 2025 11:49 pmConscious is a process of pattern acquisition necessitating by the pattern of consciousness as cyclical self awareness.

They are one and the same. To make a distinction otherwise would be to argue against the very same distinctions that allow consciousness to be thus the argument against "consiousness as distinction" would be self-negating.
