Jamie, before you and correspondents enter that 50,000 line write-up
about the 'impressions'
of concepts you mentioned and asked for, a warning:
Impressions, even definitions/identifications are very personal. A
vocabulary of one's terms can't be just 'translated': it has to be
adapted to the entire 'mindset' of the person who uses it.
You have to 'walk in my shoes' to rightfully apply MY definitions from
MY vocabulary.
George L remarked that MUH is superceding Fuzzy Logic (George, pls.
correct me if I read you wrong) as a mathematically describable
theorem, what I take with a grain of salt: maybe F.L. is based on a
root what also sprouted mathematical thinking as well? (Even if I
deckipher the M in MUH as Multiple, when in my opinion every one of
the U-multitude is fundamentally different and no individual can (in
toto) exist identically in them all or do the same activity as he
does:here(?). )
I considered the original F.L. idea as a diversion from the
quantizable (mathematical?) formal logic, just before mathematically
impaired minds adopted the idea into the math-based TOE.
(Remember: my 'everything' includes more than the ' numbers-based'
part of it and here I am still missing a (common sense) advice from
the list) how to understand 'numbers' (especially in the Bruno defined
"integers only" sense differently from "numbers - as in integers". *)
I still did not reject David Bohm's "numbers are human invention" groundrule.
So Your escapade into Fuzzy Logic is a valid one for me, irrespective
of a (narrowly cut) MUH
only I don't see the possibility of a wide-range agreement in
'concepts' among people with different - well - what? sci. worldview?
basic (sci.) philosophy? specialization? or even the not-so-obvious
"common sense".
John M
*) the statement that everything (including mentality-terms) can be
described by numbers in long enough series means in my vocabulary:
"SOMEHOW", the same as in assigning ALL mental finctionality to the
physiological neuronal brain (somehow). JM
