[MD] Protagoras: everything is relative...

[MarshaV]

Hi Mark,

Marsha:
Viva la difference.  As I explained, my view of the MoQ:  Reality = Quality(Dynamic(unpatterned experience)/static(patterned experience)).

Such a word has no meaning to me in the same way that undefined has no meaning, and I keep asking Joe about it.  So it is not my intent to find fault, and I am disappointed that you would think so.

And you yourself not too long ago wrote "The dimensionality of space cannot be discarded in metaphysics, since it creates our reality."  I think your complaining, and you are beginning to sound like one of the complaining sock puppets, is hypocritical.
