I don't think you understand what I understand. Of course the limitation of the 1p view excludes information relative to a 3p view, but the reverse is true as well. Indeterminism emerges as a third person phenomenon in that subjective privacy cannot be experienced through it. Determinism emerges as both a first and third person phenomenon in the form of sense. Motive or will (or 'energy' in third person') emerges as an orthogonal category relative to determinism; self-determination, which is the impulse and capacity to make the indetermined determined.
