A Better Place To Be…Representation and Verification (original) (raw)
This is the third and final bit of writing on providing some introductory thoughts and comments to a conversation about representation and verification. The first ‘introduction’ was intended to suggest where we might take our cue from and there are already many conversations about that, but I presented an opinion to start another conversation. The universe as a whole can be represented as a spectrum of fundamental components and forces and at this level there is a usual (normal) distribution of all things in it, at any given point in space-time. Secondly, all our coming to know has had several source origins and currently more weight has been put on the substance of something, on the just being of something and its behaviour, than it has on the substance and behaviour to be seen in all the activity with all the other, on the belonging of something. There are already a lot of conversations about all that but I presented an opinion to start another conversation. The way to achieve a common understanding is a combined one with a correct representation that has verification. All the current models of our understandings have something missing. There is some unity and some separateness in what we all say, but there is also a lack of correctness. The notion of correctness can be assisted by representing everything as a spectrum, but only if we have first identified the fundamental components and forces of both our just being and our belonging. This third bit of writing builds on the expression of the correctness to be found in ethics. There are already many conversations about that, but ethics can be viewed as a combination of who or what we are, what we believe in, our ‘just being’; together with the resultant behaviour toward or with all the other, ‘the belonging’ of everything ….because of that.
