Hello MG:
First let me say welcome to my thread.
I think you are right. If I had thought of that I might have indicated it in that manner to begin with. We have rules about writing laws.
Fundamental attributes it is.
The Fundamental attributes of a being I would say are
awareness of self and of course motivation.
There may be more but that appears to be enough to look very much like the fundamental attributes of a force. You know,
"It must be apparent." and
"it must be constant." OPPS I mean the Laws of the recognition of a force. I am quite sure that was defined in the theory of Determinism.
I any case it appears very much the same as the laws of a force. The only two things that can be responsible for the initiation of a chain of actions. Awareness of self, is like being apparent to ones self, and motivation is a kindred to a constant if the constant is the motivation. It can be if the constant is simply continue. Word this concept as you must but recognize the value of this as a constant. This idea of continue as a constant is so very basic, I have no idea how it might be indicated mathematically.
It removes the dilemma of free will because under this concept the being itself becomes a prime mover, driven by the constant continue. Then free will is the freedom to calculate how best to continue, or how best to satisfy the constant.
It would be interesting to get some input here in this very basic logic relative to the concept of being.
I think the logical reasoning that indicates that a being must at the very least be aware of itself.
The level of that logic is something that could be posed to a class of 4th graders. Yet around here it appears to generate silence. I see that you are aware of the sound of silence here.
The other attribute, motivation is also an extremely basic thought. Without either of these attributes a being cannot exist.
I appreciate your reply.
To all, I await your comments!
John
