After writing my little comment, and just before slipping into a nap, I was reflecting on how with the phrase " mind cognizing vacuity " or " vacuity cognizing mind " -- either one -- there is a verb in the middle and a noun on either end. I trust the verb more than the nouns. I was recently reading a far-out paper on " conceptual modeling " (re software) and this particular author is very deep. He was bringing in philosophy, even mentioning Wittgenstein. At one point he said that he noticed that different information modelers seemed to be trying to get down to the " atom " of stuff, and to then build up from that. But finding the right atoms always seemed kinda quirky. He noticed that whatever atoms one came up with, those atoms always ended up having different *behaviors*. So then he realized that behavior was more fundamental than " things " . Kinda cool, huh? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
