Identity By Constant Relations In Time. Time And Relations

Without Time, we cannot speak of constant relations, because we cannot perceive either constant relations or changes in state that would falsify those freely associated relations.

IDENTITY: Identity consists of some set of marginally indifferent constant relations that persists over some period of time.

CATEGORIES

Categories: Marginal differences in state of constant relations in Time.

STATE

State: constant relations in time when those relations might differ.

SUBTRACTION OF THE TIME DIMENSION

For example, numbers consist of names of positions, which by virtue or order maintain constant relations. We then manipulate accounts (balances, expressions, variables) by maintaining ratios (constant relations) and call that process ‘mathematics’. We generally perform this set of ratio-transformations in a particular sequence, always trying to simplify or rearrange. But what we rarely consider is that most mathematics ignores time – which is its chief benefit to us outside of commensurability.

A UNIVERSE OF INFORMATION GIVEN NAMES OF SETS OF CONSTANT RELATIONS

The universe as information consisting of a hierarchy of relations rather than objects.
