A problem is the epistemic difference between how an actually given piece of information is interpreted and cognized and how it should be for the interpreting/cognizing system. #Philosophy #Epistemology

A possible indicator of highly developed intelligence is the ability to solve problems for which a system’s own nature provides only inadequate epistemic and ontic resources. #Philosophy

Interaction Is Always an Internal Process Ontologically speaking, interaction is never external to a system, but always an internal process. Thus, when a system interacts, it always does so in the mode of self-relation. #Philosophy #Systemology #Interaction

Interaction as Structural Integration of the Structure of the Interaction Partner Ontologically, to interact means that a part of the structure of the interaction partner with which a system is currently interacting is integrated into its own structure. 1/2 #Philosophy #Systemology #Interaction

Is a Feeling a Non-Linguistic Proposition? In the classical sense, propositions are contents with truth values and are therefore not necessarily tied to language as a means of expression. Can a feeling therefore be classified as a non-linguistic proposition of a system? #Philosophy 1/2

The Most Fundamental Form of the I The most fundamental form of the I arises in every interaction when a system, in self-relation, acquires information about its own structural constitution. Viewed this way, every interacting system possesses an I. #Philosophy #Systemology #Panpsychism

There is an I because the system experiences information. #Philosophy #Consciousness

Logic and Being in Analytic Philosophy The attempt in analytic philosophy to separate logic from Being reminds me somewhat of the attitude in some areas of physics of not wanting to recognize epistemological processes in the physical, even when they are obvious. #Philosophy #Ontology #Logic

What It Means to Be Everything that is – in whatever form –, actualizes itself as something constituted through stuff-like, spatiotemporal, relational, and functional properties. #Philosophy #Systemology #Ontology

Philosophy Is Essentially Grounded in Agape Love As a path of cognition, philosophy is profoundly Christian. For: Whoever pursues it sincerely and without ideological bias cognizes that it is grounded in freedom and comprehensive agape love. #Philosophy #PhilosophicalChristianity

Time is a property of the structure of something constituted. It is part of its spatiotemporal properties. Its basal form is the present. #Philosophy #Systemology #Time

"No doubt it [consciousness] occurs in countless forms totally unimaginable to us, on other planets in other solar systems throughout the universe." (Nagel 1974) #Philosophy

Aphorism: The Classical Absolute Is Unknowable The Absolute in the classical sense is entirely (= absolutely) unconditioned. But of something that has no conditions, nothing can be known - not even that it has no conditions. #Philosophy #Metaphysics

Everything that is constituted possesses structural, temporal, as well as spatial differentia, in which it is metaphysically grounded. #Philosophy #Metaphysics

As soon as any being is constituted, space is ontologically constituted. Ontologically speaking, space is the ontological difference from absolute ontological nothingness. #Philosophy #Systemology #Space

Every single thought is an actual structural pattern within a system that interacts with other actual structural patterns within the same system. Everything that interacts is stuff (in the systemological sense). #Philosophy #Systemology

Metaphysics is, on the one hand, a specific kind of theory and, on the other, the name given to that domain of Being with which a metaphysical theory is concerned. The method of a metaphysical theory is primarily philosophical. #Philosophy #Metaphysics #Philsky

If it is possible to have a feeling without feeling it, then it is possible to have an information without having it.

The four metaphysical research questions of Systemology are: 1. How does it present itself or appear? 2. To whom does it present itself or appear? 3. What does it do? 4. Why does it do that? #Philosophy #Metaphysics #Systemology

A token (= a unique spatiotemporal structure) is never the entirety of Being and, through its own constitution, always refers to another token whose properties differ. For: In a dynamic world, every token is a relatum within a relation. #Philosophy #Metaphysics

Information is therefore first and foremost an ontological-structural phenomenon that is an ontological-structural relatum for dynamic, system-internal processes and necessarily determines these structurally due to its structural nature. #Philosophy #Panpsychism

Information = structural input = modulated structure = negentropic structure = system-internal new token = structural relatum (for system-internal relations = processes) #Philosophy #Panpsychism

It becomes clear that information is a concrete ontological entity with structure. #Information #Panpsychism #Philosophy
