Hi Carey

No, I don't think it does answer the questions. It does, however, pose a lot more very interesting questions. I am pondering where your view of reality interacts with mine as I'm a 'naive realist'.

Regards
Felix

PS - I'm a cat, do I possess a homunculum?

Felix, I'd be surprised if you, as a naive realist cat, did not have homunculi on your cortex, as I've never heard anything to the contrary.
Your confessed naive realism presents big difficulties for our "intersection" on interpretive issues. My mind-body book is a patient study of it. For here, I think we should focus on the uninterpreted calculus of this theory of physics, since it is simpler than Newton's theory or any other, which means we can handle it easily.
I don't bear the burden of my theory all alone. Rafael Sorkin has reformulated General Relativity in terms of "causal sets," which are the same as my time sequences. He doesn't know how to diagram any particles, and yet he already feels that he is hot on the trail of the Theory of Everything. The following link takes you to a nice summary, by Mr. Sorkin himself, of what causal sets are and how they serve physics. I see, by searching "causal sets," there are many new links that come up. I might have to do some more reading myself. -- Carey

Hi Carey

Thanks for the link which is interesting.

BTW, I didn't "confess" to being a naive realist; I'm proud of it!

Originally Posted by Carey I tried to upload the PDF of the quark structure, which is only 200Kb, but my status of "in training" seems to cut down on my upload size, and it wouldn't go. I tried another PDF of 120Kb, but it wouldn't go either. It says the filesize is over the limit. I think I've made 3 posts now, so maybe when I reach 5, I'll be a "belt," and I'll be able to upload it. I wonder if this is a "post" that counts toward my first belt level? If so, I'll be at 4 here in a second. -- Carey

Sorry about the restrictions on uploading files-- the reason for having the "in training" status is to stop new members joining up and posting unsavoury attachments; and also as an encouragement to post a little to unlock some of the benefits!

Anyway, I see your problems are solved now, but if you have any problems in the future feel free to post in the "member feedback" forum, or alternatively send me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

Welcome, and I hope you enjoy your time here!

Originally Posted by Carey Hi Wick, I'm attaching an article called "Eliminative Panpsychism." It has four parts. Part Two is "Physics Without Space," which reproduces the material in my published TOE booklet, slightly abridged and updated. The other parts address the epistemology and philosophy of science that led me to the theory. This is a "core dump" of everything I know in condensed form, so you won't need a copy of my published books. With luck, the article will be published later this year in a collection put together by David Skrbina. The definition of mass-energy should be clear from the article. As to your other specific questions, let's see if the "ground plan" makes any advance on them. -- Carey

Thanks for the post, Carey. I'll read the document over and I'm sure I'll be asking some questions in the near future. Sorry for the delay in my response. I'm looking forward to what you have to say on this subject.
