Discussion Topic Index
Perfection Defined
What does “perfection” mean?
Not Invention
No one would have contrived or invented this philosophy.
Philosophy In Scripture
These concepts are fundamentally philosophical, not religious.
Intelligence Elaboration
Intelligence is intelligence. However there are subtleties.
The Observable Universe, Alternate Universes
These laws extend from our observation and understanding of the observable universe.
Universe As A System
The universe is simply a system. (Video Game Example)
Perceive Defined
Sense, mentally apprehend.
Existence Is Not Inherently Mapped Or Modeled
Those are contrivances resulting from our conscious interactions and sensory experiences.
Purpose, Supernatural Being/Conscious Being
That supernatural being could be viewed as a conscious being.
Reason, Why
Reason and why concern conscious beings and particular or specific things.
Reason is an aspect of existence, not a cause of existence or something beyond existence.
Existence is not devoid of reason nor is life devoid of meaning. The point is conscious, living beings construct those things.
Reason is a construct concerning particular things often conflated with existence in its general sense.
Attempting to apply chronological order to reason and existence struggles because reason is existence.
The Human Condition
The human condition will always be an issue as long as humans are around.
Immateriality, Immaterial Space/Expanse
Immaterial expanse is a rather basic aspect of existence…
It can be observed in the motion, in the interactions of things…
Those things, including immaterial expanse, are components which determine density.
Immaterial space and immaterial expanse are synonymous terms. Space and expanse are synonymous.
Physical space consists of atoms, molecules, etc. Immaterial space lacks physical or material components such as atoms.
It’s observed in the distance among planetary and celestial bodies…
Thus the vacuum of outer space is considered immaterial.
There are insufficient atomic and molecular structures to form matter.
Pure immaterial space would concern no atoms, no molecules, no radiation, etc.
Ideas And Truth
Ideas and truth are immaterial things.
Nonexistence Cannot Be
That is not nonexistence.
Yet more evidence for existence.
Nonexistence does not exist. In any form.
One cannot effectively reference or metaphor nonexistence as there is only existence.
Nonexistence, nothing is such an absurd concept it contradicts itself in plain sight.
Unicorn Example
Yes, a unicorn is a thing.
Conceptual Counterparts
Parts can have counterparts.
Concepts are not the totality of existence and thus can have counterparts.
All Variance Balances As Simply Being
All difference, all variation, all opposition, all contradiction ultimately balances as simply being, as simply existence.
Nothingness Is An Abstraction Of The Mind Projected Outward
Nothingness is not some ambiguous, mysterious remoteness revealed through the term or concept nonexistence.
Nothingness and nonexistence are conceptual mechanisms employed by conscious beings to help process information.
“Thingness” An Intrinsic Aspect Of Existence
The whole can’t be without parts, without things; thingness is implicitly acknowledged in the balance of being.
Existence Is Infinite
This is evident in two ways; existence is not limited to any particular and nonexistence cannot be substantiated.
Existence is not limited to any particular or any specific thing, this is self-evident.
How would existence “just end”?
You are imposing boundaries while claiming otherwise…
You sense it, you observe it, you acknowledge it, you utilize it else you could not successfully interact.
Existence is the subject matter, the focus. The term infinite is simply a descriptor.
The term infinite, in context of the ontology, primarily applies to existence in the sense of being unlimited or unrestricted.
Infinite, being unlimited, implicitly encompasses various conceptions of time, timelessness, eternal and eternity.
The term “infinite” is flexible. It can mean unlimited or unrestricted and it can also mean immeasurable.
Something can be immeasurable, something can be vast whilst still being restricted or limited.
Existence Is Formless
It isn’t defined as “no form” it is defined as “no definite form”.
Form concerns shape and shape concerns particulars; form and shape concern limitation.
Mathematics
It is similar to the mathematical concept pi.
In mathematical set theory an infinite set can contain finite sets.
Regardless how deep one claims a line segment to be it would still observably be only part of existence.
Existence transcends mere mathematics.
Existence All The Way Down
All things are parts of existence, all constituent parts of things are parts of existence.
That existence references itself is not contradiction but further evidence existence is all.
No Immaterial Space (For Sake Of Argument)
Even if immaterial expanse did not actually exist in the environment…
Existence Is
Whatever it is, it is existence.
Sand is. Water is. Dark is. Light is. All is existence.
Things need other things. A plant needs water. A human needs air. Existence does not need. Existence is.
Distinction occurs among elements of existence, not beyond existence.
Infinite Includes Finite
Such is evident in the term itself.
The unlimitedness of existence is not limited to unlimitedness.
This example illustrates both the limitedness (tree, one thing) and the unlimitedness (all things) of existence.
That existence is each thing is what illustrates its unlimitedness.
“I Have Nothing In My Pocket”
Use of the term “nothing” is often indicative of sloppy language.
Congruent Contradiction
Yes, certain aspects of existence are contradictory.
Paradoxes are not always fallacious or false. (Orange Example)
Arbitrary Beginnings
Any beginning point would be arbitrary. (Stone Wheels Example)
Any point could be viewed as a beginning. (Stone Atoms Example)
Verifiability
Certain subject matter by nature cannot actually be proven however substantial evidence can be provided.
It is verifiable, at least to a degree. (Color Example)
The idea has been clearly defined and illustrated here using concrete, real world examples.
Existence Explained By What Is
Being is explained by what is, not by what is not.
Things are utilized to distinguish other things.
Existence Simpler Than Occurrence
Existence simply is; existence is simpler, existence is more basic than occurrence as occurrence indicates action.
Existence Extends Beyond Concepts And Terms
Existence is not limited to any particular, including any concept.
The philosophy, existence is not simply abstraction confined to concept. (Observable Example)
Infinite Existence Is Self-Evident
You sense it, you observe it, you acknowledge it, you utilize it else you could not successfully interact here.
Logical Integrity
Two core principles of the ontology logically linked. This illustrates the integrity of the ontology.
Addressing Relative Nothingness
Nothingness is not relative. Nothingness is not and cannot be to any degree.
Relative nothingness is nonsensical. A concept, a thing, but nonsensical.
Relative nothingness is a thing. It is a nonsensical concept which doesn’t actually apply.
Absence and nothingness are not the same.
Its own terminology implicitly acknowledges other things thus indicating no actual absence or lack.
Relative nothingness references multiple things in attempt to introduce no thing.
Existence is not limited to only one thing or only one location thus there is no excuse for introducing nothingness.
Things are relative. Relative nothingness is nonsensical.
Relative nothingness claims lack of things. However it only utilizes, and thus illustrates the presence of things.
Relative nothingness is a misnomer. It does not involve that which does not exist rather that which is located or identified elsewhere.
Relative nothingness is an awkward, forced concept. Nothing is forced into the equation although only things are involved.
The term nothingness is needlessly and inappropriately attached to an already sufficient concept of relativity.
Although relative nothingness may be a nonsensical concept and may not necessarily apply it’s nevertheless a thing, a part of existence.
In its strongest case relative nothingness still concerns things including the concept of nothingness which is also a thing.
There are no gradients or levels of nothingness. There are only gradients or levels of concepts and qualities.
Time And Sequence Are Constructs Of Conscious Beings
Time is a construct, a quality associated with particular things and often confounded with existence or being in its general sense.
In a sense there is no time, sequence or motion.
Existence is all, existence does not need to progress or unfold and as such has no need for time.
Definitions And Explanations Of Time
Regardless the definition time is part of existence. However existence also transcends time; existence transcends temporal measurement.
The Term Existence
Standard definitions of existence are convoluted and circular. They provide no means of substantiation.
The standard terms, being and existence, form a vacuous loop of abstraction with no substantiation in concrete, real world instances.
The philosophy presented offers clearer, more practical and more coherent definitions of key terms.
The definition serves to link the philosophically abstract to the obvious and the tangible.
Thus even science operates within the definition of existence presented.
It seems only appropriate to employ the means by which we engage with the world as a means to define existence.
Illusory Is Illusory Not Nonexistent
Illusions are perceived, they are acknowledged, they are discussed and debated.
The Beauty Of Philosophy
That’s the beauty of philosophy…
