[MD] The Mechanical Garden

[MarshaV]

Greeting Ham,

I've just started my second reading of your 
thesis.  I have questions.  They may be dumb 
questions.  I'd like to ask them as they come to 
me as I'm reading.  It may be that they're 
explained in your thesis, but I've either missed 
the explanation or didn't understand it.

Time and Space:

"Physical things like houses and stones­even 
living trees and flowers­are dimensional 
phenomena that relate to space and time in an 
objective world, not to being as such.  Their 
supposed being is a consequence of their being 
experienced.  And the tools we employ to confirm 
their existence will always produce data 
consistent with our experience because that is what they were designed to do."

Now I've read Nargarjuna's MMK.  He lays out a 
pretty convincing argument that time and space do 
not inherently exist.  I believe that Nietzsche's 
survey in 'Early Greek Philosophy & Other Essays' 
contains an argument similar to 
Nargarjuna's.  Why are _you_ excluding time and 
space from being experienced?
