CHAPTER 7 - Physical Ideas v2.0

7.1 - Matter exists in a relationship with one or more dimensions such as height, width, depth or mass. (Definition)

7.2 - Matter is a perceivable object such that some or all of its dimensions can be touched, smelled, heard, seen or measured. (Definition)

7.3 - Objects whose dimensions can be touched, smelled, heard, seen or measured are physical objects. (Definition)

7.4 - Matter is a physical object. (Constructon)

7.5 – An Entity is a perceivable physical object with dimensions that can be touched, smelled, heard, seen or measured. (Definition)

7.6 – Entities exist in a relationship with matter. (Construction)

7.7 - Entities have a physical existence because they are composed of one or more dimensions such as height, width, depth or mass. (Construction)

7.8 - Ideas are composed of energy. (Construction)

7.9 - Energy is a perceivable object such that some or all of its dimensions can be touched, smelled, heard, seen or measured. (Definition)

7.10 - Ideas are perceivable objects. (Construction)

7.11 - Perceivable objects must necessarily exist. (Definition)

7.12 - Ideas are physical objects. (Construction)

a) Ideas are composed of energy and therefore exist in a relationship with energy;
b) Energy exists in a relationship with mass;
c) Mass exists in a relationship with matter;
d) Ideas exist in a relationship with mass via their relationship with energy;
e) Mass exists in a relationship with matter;
f) Ideas exist in a relationship with matter via their relationship with mass;
g) Matter exists in a relationship with one or more dimensions of height, width, depth and mass;
h) Ideas exist in a relationship with one or more dimensions of height, width, depth and mass;
i) Objects have a physical existence when they exist in a relationship with one or more dimensions of height, width, depth or mass;
j) Matter is a physical object;
k) An Idea is a physical object.

 

A key point is the introduction of the term “physical existence”. We commonly think of rocks and trees as having a physical existence, entities we can touch, see, smell and/or hear. All physical entities share one or more common dimensions. Here we demonstrate that Ideas, by nature of their relationship with matter, must possess some or all of the same dimensions as physical entities.
