[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

[Ian Glendinning]

Firstly Marsha,
 I (a "subject") will by (your) "convention" and practical contextual
necessity (I'm not in a position to give you a hug right now) use
email composed of words (representing or at least implying "objects")
.

Secondly, I will (as you did) use the rhetorical convention and answer
your question with a question "How long have you got" ?". That piece
of rhetoric means (even though not explicitly represented in the
words) whether I give you a short answer or a long answer it cannot be
a complete explanation in those (conventional) SOMist terms. Even if I
reduce in terms of the smallest atoms (objects) I can conceive.

Thirdly, I understand you've not got long ....off to the beach ?

So I will assume for now, that your asking the question was simply a
rhetorical response to Ron's question.

Have a good break.
Ian
