I listened to A Biblical Cosmology with David Weiss on The Paranormies Present.
David’s magical thinking was on point. His power of belief made it possible for him to be a successful entrepreneur. The show also realized what science does, so I have another working definition for it.
science : the process for detecting invariance of a universe
This new definition has some working assumptions that makes it easier for me to use as an artist engineer.
- Assumes more than one universe.
- Allows me to measure the difference between 2 universes.
- Does not assume the need for an institution which a term like systematic enterprise would imply.
- Assumes universes are malleable.
- Allows me to measure how good a scientific process is based on data.
I have a derivative definition of universe based on Bill Gaede’s book, The Rope Hypothesis.
definition : a set of criteria that limits the extent or usage
of a word
object : that which has shape
concept : a word that invokes or embodies two objects or
more objects
distance : separation between two objects
location : the set of distances from one object to all others
motion : two or more locations of an object; to move
exist : an object that has location; physical presence
universe : a set of objects that have physical presence with each other
Sadly I had to reject Gaede’s old definition of science because it wasn’t rigorous enough, and philosophers rejected the classification of philosophy as a science. Religion and Science (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Now I can say an instance of Pokemon Gold is a Universe and an instance of Pokemon Silver is a universe. Now I have a problem. They both has physical presence with each other but only conditionally such as doing a trade.
multiverse : a set of objects that conditionally have physical presence with each other.
I also have a working definition for religion.
religion : the process of manipulating variance of a universe
