the mind is simply a reading of physics
an internal reading
('in house' if you like)
physics reading itself
(Aristotle defined 'God' as 'thought of thought')
so
thought here - is by definition - a dimension of physics
of nature
an internal reading
a reading from within an entity
(this idea applies to biology - and of course psychology)
the reading - the interpretation
is strategy for the entity involved
what it (i.e. - man) requires - for its being -
its existence - its function
a kind of 'physics referring to itself'
there is no reason I think - to assume this is writ large
it is focus - or given a plurality of minds - foci
it is just function
consciousness is a logical (higher if you like)
development of this functioning
physics reads itself (for the purpose of the entity)
here it is clear there can be no objectivity -
in the sense of extra-physical reality
and hence - subjectivity has no sense either -
as a consequence
there is just what happens
as to why - or the origin of it all?
these questions - are just like any other questions -
a function - of the functioning
any theory - conception - metaphysics -
is to be seen in this light
as to determining the nature of this functioning -
any characterization will be - an outcome of the
function
and finally reducible to need
need to function
or just - functioning
p.s.
the mind as physics reading itself
this functioning of physics creates dimensions -
mind / matter - if you like - subjective / objective
the point being - before - this function
we cannot conceive mind or the world
these dimensions do not exist -
what exists - whatever exists - is just not known -
therefore -
mind is a function that creates function
a self creating function
it creates knowledge
but this knowledge is a function of a more
fundamental function
that exists - for no reason - outside of its
functioning
we can - imagine - a world without such function -
but we must discount any picture - for any such picture -
is just a function of the function - that is being
imagined as not to be -
this is to be involved in paradox
better to say - beyond knowing - is the unknown
