This is all from the article here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mereology/ and they have some interesting leads re people who are working in this area. And again, I am very much a layperson with regard to all this, so if it happens that you have any further info to share, would be great to learn about it! <br /><br />Oh and I haven't found anything yet with regard to the "emergent axis" phenomenon (at least not the one I was describing, there are of course other things that go by that name....) anyway, thank you for the work you are doing, and thank you in advance for anything you may offer along the lines of my inquiry... <br /><br />Rosa Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06865766788759680875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295132.post-1129826601710818122005-10-20T09:43:00.000-07:002005-10-20T09:43:00.000-07:00Ah yes...when I wrote that article I was a bit con...Ah yes...when I wrote that article I was a bit confused about 'completeness' and was trying hard to figure out how the two different notions were the same thing. Later I realised they aren't. Very confusing until someone explicitly points it out - as the books I was looking at failed to do.sigfpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096190433222340957noreply@blogger.com
