You claimed that it is a matter of First Order Logic (FOL) or do you mean Predicate Logic. I don't see your sequence as a simple declarative proposition with predicates and quantification. Without quantifiers there is no FOL, but then I could be wrong for so much is jumbled in this cranium lately.Trickfox wrote:
It's a matter of first order logic. Being, then imagination, then axiomatic structure, then externalization, and finally existentialism. The same sequence will occur for a new life form and/or first contact. (strange loop)

Hell, I'm surprised that you placed imagination before axiomatic structure.

We are not even at the quantification level yet. This situation is exactly as portrayed in the Berkely Physics book on Electricity and Magnetism. They start the whole idea with a unique single charge in an empty universe. Then they talk about adding another charge, then they talk about vectors and scalars. This is what I'm trying to describe with 1+i=2. Note also that this describes the notion of a non-Euclidean geometry such as "Clifford" space. If there is only "symetry" then quantification is still beyond our reach.
