<t>This may be slightly OT, but this post brought to mind the "protein folding problem". Stated somewhat simply, it goes like this:<br/> <br/> Proteins are long chains of amino acids that fold up into various shapes depending on the chemistry of the types of amino acids involved. But this isn't the ...

This is true. But I would add to that it's not really fair to ask this of Science(not that you are), since i...

<t>My problem isn't so much with finding a point inside the unit. I feel there is an error creeping in, if not conceptually, than at least philosophically, when we substitute points for motion, spatialize motion, as I said in other posts. I keep reaching for analogies since it's kind of a subtle poi...

Quote: but that is your subjective definition of an act No, there's nothing intellectual about it, it's a simple perception of a simple act. Obviously, all perception has a subjective component, but I'm not defining anything, I'm simply perceiving the motion. And what arises directly from the percep...

great post WarmSylph wrote: but again with fractions we are dividing a whole into parts of 'one' each - those one's are in a harmonic relationship when they constitute and even measurement to the whole, such as 1/8th or 5 16'ths, within a whole, an equal number of divisions can be made - the proport...

In a universe of motion, motion is both continuous (a progression) and discrete. Because the discrete units are units of progression, the progression continues within the units of motion. Aside from the surface contradiction that motion is both continuous and discrete, I've always had a hard time wi...
