  • Definitions Are Recipes

    by Bill Joslin The only definitions (identity) which rest in the commons are operational descriptions (recipes). Operational descriptions stand on their own as a set of arguments – thus definitions simply assign a name to a set of operational arguments. We then use names, for sake of brevity, to build new, higher order arguments. The relation of lower order and higher order definitions are two-fold – either a lower order argument has a causal relation to a higher order one (a primary or fundamental ) or the higher order argument provides superordinate to the lower order argument. By categorizing according to arguments versus object-properties we may open up new meta-relations which are not available with an object-property mentality.

    by Curt Doolittle – Consistency in the categorical, internal, correspondent, operational, volitional, reciprocal, and fully accounted dimensions, create universally commensurable statements, just as certainly as constant dimensional relations in the first four dimensions are sufficient to describe any motion of and constant relations in time. by Bill Joslin: – Categorical = identity – Internal = is it logical – Correspondent = is it real – Operational = does it exist (how it exists , is real) – Volitional = is it doable – Reciprocity= is it successful (moral) – Fully accounting – necessary and sufficient for all of the above and all consequences accounted for.

  • The Reciprocity Of Measurement (Infinities)

    Operationally defined, no infinite sets can exist, and the idea of infinite sets of different sizes is also impossible. However, what is possible, is that in the generation of positional names, some sets of names must be produced faster and some slower, so that at any given moment the size of the sets will differ. A number is the name of a position. A position can be applied to any dimension, and any number of dimensions. We can create mathematics using triangulation (the greek model) beginning with sizes, and using ratios of sizes, or we can create mathematics of positions and apply them to lengths in any dimension. This property defines the reciprocity of measurement. So we can start with the mathematics of triangulation, then apply it to scale (just as we apply money to prices as a standard unit), and then we can scale the unit reciprocally. If we taught mathematics operationally then all this fictionalism that makes math nonsense to so many people would disappear. So for example, we can measure art by triangulation but we cannot measure it by numbers. We can measure distances by either triangulation or numbers. There are phenomenon we cannot measure by numbers other than probability (causal density is too high).
