Rich, (01)
The issue is not to define "what", but "how". Existence is experienced and
everything we experience in spacetime we experience its absence as well,
because everything is i constant motion and change, and we notice changes at
our scale. As soon as we have started to use a language our former and
current iconostic experience got labelled with a word, which is a form to
help us make a refernce to a chunk of reality. The content is still
experience and as such it is different with people as long as they are not
taking up the very the same posiitn in space and time, which is not
possible, of course
Now having said that with regard to existence and non existence we must also
be aware of motion, start and stop (end) whether we agree on FO or not. For
us it is difficult or impossible to focus on two items in sight, therefore
we must freeze the input picture and by doing so we stop time. Space in our
mind is not sensed anyway, so it is easy to be fooled that our mind works in
a temporal and spatial vacuum. It does not. So whatever our mind creates
through MENTAL OPERATIONS, it is in principle marked by space and time
identifiers, the only real uniqueq identifiers in this world. So our mind
produces concepts, whch have form and content, while the universe creates
objects, which also have form and content. We produce new objects from
existing objects by assembling, the universe creates objects from nothing -
the form and name of something we do not know.
When we have concepts to identify the chunks of reality, we have verbal
forms to be used to maike a picture, which is the clue to undersatnding or
making sense. But verbal forms are not suitable for assembly, and content
must be aligned with the use of forms between the speakers of any langauge.
Now since forms have content, but it is the form or pattern that shows the
limits and the boundaries of content, the content of verbal forms must
provide for such identification of form. But unfortunatelly, the concept of
meaning, context and the commuication model of a bargaining situatio where
we should arive at an agreement as to th sense of any form, or concept s not
dealt properly among ontologists. The most serious problem is that you want
a network, a lattice of frozen dots to represent an ever moving rality,
where time is the most important concept despite the fact that yiou may
ignore it sometimes just as any other concepts.
So not seeig how time may be used in FO properly and putting event in the
cebtre with axioms may serve well to design robots, but a dumb robot only.
