WHAT DOES EMPIRICAL MEAN

(core)

Empirical: Reciprocally Observable, and therefore agreeable, or disagreeable.

1. Empirical means observable such that claims can be intersubjectively verifiable or falsifiable: meaning the observation can be “agreed or disagreed upon”;

2. in addition it means a sufficient volume of observations that we falsify the fragility of episodic memories, our tendency to err, our tendency to find patterns that don’t exist, or to bias the results, and to use both to deceive ;

3. in addition it means using physical instruments of measurement to compensate for the limits of our senses, perception, and the resulting limits to intuition, prediction, and memory;

4. in addition it means using logical instruments of measurement (testing) of constant, contingent, inconstant, and non-relations to compensate for the limits of our intuition, imagination, prediction, and reason and as such to prevent claims made in ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.

5. together consisting of tests of reciprocity of information, and the possibility of Agreement or disagreement by reciprocity of information using due diligence in the falsification of sense, perception, intuition, prediction, and claim by RECIPROCAL due diligence using quantity, quality, consistency, causality.

See the value of operational language?

If you have the words for it, most philosophical discourses is rendered nonsense.

See how law (competition) differs from philosophy by reduction to reciprocity not the self (philosophical justification).

Like I said, in almost all cases philosophical questions are sophisms due to idealism rather than realism – operational language.
