!Z:
Is "matter" a property vs "not matter"?
later you substituted 'matter' with 'substrate' when you drew the identity
as being "interchangeable" to. So is radiation "matterly matter" or an
interchange? I told you I am nitpicking.
I am not accepting the identification of existence as "exist" must be. Then
you bring in "things" and "concepts", hard to follow, when you deny the
existence of HP things "literally" existing ONLY in the mind.
You missed a reply about the numbers.
Destroying 'matter'? one mysterious way is to let it be absorbed in a BH,
the other - with your words - to 'interchange' (I still did not get whether
radiation IS matter or only "interchangeable" into).
I wanted to illustrate that the "words" we use are captured by different
persons in different meanings/connotations.
Once it comes to non-conventional thoughts, we do not have the words.
I hope I did not irritate you. I tried hard to be difficult.
