Dear Stephen and Bruno:

Lobian numbers can be said reasonably enough to be living.
You might go to far. Even in Plato, the No? content (all the ideas) is
richer that its living part. I doubt Plato would have said that a
circle is living. Life will need the soul to enact life in the
intelligible.*/ )
I find it hard to believe that 'exist(ence?)' is depending on human
thought/measurement/comprehension. If something fails to
'materialize'(?) into physical(?) existence it still can exist - in
our thinking, or beyond that: in the part of the unlimited
(complexity?) we never heard of.
To restrict existence to our knowledge - especially quoting ancient
thinkers who experienced so much less to think of-
(e.g. Leibnitz, whom I respect no end, but over the more than 3
centuries humanity has learned SOMETHING??)
is counterscientific -there are less polite words - and Bruno's
justification depends how we define that 'circle' - OOPS:
/*life-living*/. And IF we aggrevate *naturalists* and *materialists*?
so be it. (Spelling var: SOB-it).
*/(Bruno again: Life will need the soul to enact life in the

Looks like Bruno's stance on the mind-body bases. I am not with that,
I consider Descartes' dualism a defence against the danger to be burnt
at the stake. I consider him smarter than dualistic.
Stephen, I think(?) you waste your time arguing in such length against
a differen belief system. It is like a political campaign in the US:
everybody talks ONLY to their OWN constituents, the others do not even
listen. All those billion $s (there) are wasted just as all those
zillion posts here.
Look at the double-meaning of your Wiki-quote. ((- I am one of those
"others"-.))
Sorry I could not resist to reply.

Dear John,
I try and I deeply appreciate your comment. You understand me
sometimes. Sometimes I don't have any idea where the thoughts that I
write come from or what they mean until later...
