I agree with Russell. In my case my basis for belief in the Plenitude is
as an aspect of the incompleteness of formal logic systems.
While I am currently revising my thesis presentation so that Russell and
others can more easily understand what I am trying to say, my strong
belief is based on my rather completely unexpected arrival at the existence
of the Plenitude [what I called the superverse] from the starting point of
research in the dynamics of sociolegal systems.
If my logic along this path is good then I find discussion of the Plenitude
essential to the entire scope of human endeavor.
My resulting position into which I am currently forced by my model is that
if the idea of the Plenitude [superverse] is found non viable then the
entire range of our logic is suspect.
