To write or even speak English is not a science but an Art*. There are no reliable words. Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence.

Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. ~ Einstein
……The speculative philosopher and the scientific specialist are liable to two opposite mistakes. The former tends to deliver frontal attacks on Reality as a whole, armed only with a few wide general principles, and to neglect to isolate and master in detail particular problems. The latter tends to forget that he has violently abstracted one part or one aspect of Reality from the rest, and to imagine that the success which this abstraction has given him within a limited field justifies him in taking the principles which hold therein as the whole truth about the whole world. The one cannot see the trees for the wood, and the other cannot see the wood for the trees. The result of both kinds of, mistake is the same, viz., to produce philosophical theories which may be self-consistent but which must be described as " silly". By a "silly” theory I mean one which may be Held at the time when one is talking or writing professionally, but which only an inmate of a lunatic asylum would think of carrying into daily life. ~ THE MIND AND IT’S PLACE IN NATURE C. D. BROAD, Fellow and Lecturer in the Moral Sciences. Trinity College. Cambridge

-------- Physical confrontations related to insults and social standing pre-date human society, but the formal concept of a duel, in Western society, developed out of medieval judicial duel and older pre-Christian practices such as the Viking Age Holmganga. Judicial duels were deprecated by the Lateran Council of 1215, but in 1459 (MS Thott 290 2), Hans Talhoffer reports that in spite of this, there were still seven capital crimes that were still commonly accepted to be settled by a judicial duel. Most societies did not condemn dueling, and the victor of a duel was regarded not as a murderer but as a hero, his social status often increased. During the early Renaissance, dueling established the status of a respectable gentleman, and was an accepted manner to resolve disputes. Dueling in such societies was seen as an alternative to less regulated conflict. ~ Anon

Anecdote:
Years ago, I had agreed to prepare a data base; for marketing; That led me to the reference section of Counties central library. Where, I took the opportunity to sort out some of my thinking; My head being full all sorts of technical words used my scientists et al. I took a small dictionary [Scientific terms and definitions?]. Opened it at the word Theory: Hogwash! Going down the page I came across a word, unfamiliar to me; Theorem : Smacked of common sense /now/ I relate to it as a truly democratic technical term, one that also demonstrates the exception to the rule; Defined-ish (Once a theorem is published, any and every mathematician / physicist / interested parties / etc. Have two years / 24 months to determine but one flaw, scratch or blemish: To fail it. If after such period nothing is found, then the Propagators name is attached to The Theorem: Having passed the acid test; It is then, taken as read that it can never, ever, be proved wrong.
Despite the unworldly nature of mathematics, mathematicians still have egos that need massaging. Nothing acts as a better drive to the creative process than the thought of the immortality bestowed by having your name attached to a theorem. The story of Selberg and Erdos highlights the importance in mathematics - indeed, in all of science - of credit and priority. That is why Wiles spent seven years alone in his attic working on Fermat’s Last Theorem. . . ~ Marcus du Sautoy Music of the Primes
I looked at other definitions, what I found (unbelievable) caused me to say to myself; What the <expletive’s> is going on!!!

If you can't explain it simply enough, then what the <expletive> do you think; you think; Your talking about? Explain.

Anecdote (safe one)
Early 20s late teens. A good mate, first to get his own digs. Moved some 10 miles from us. No mobiles or internet, post and telephone systems established. All busy with work, so the odd call. Being really good pals, naturally we noticed those subtle changes and became quite concerned. It was that time of the year; so we thought to raise his spirits. So, we sent a really nice valentine card. I don’t know, maybe 8 – 9 months later, all together, larking about. I asked; how’s your love life? nothing doing. Nothing on the horizon? At which point the penny dropped: This ultra hip, hippy; Jumped out of his pram and went totally ape shit. Anyway one day we shall have a calm and collected chat about a certain European holiday. Safe? Imagine what would happen to his reputation (income)? Having fallen for that one : That is, should anyone find out. Mums the word! Only other witness or partner in his crime & xxxx certainly knows better: With friends like mine: Who needs enemas or enemies!: Whatever you think, you think; those words mean?

I had, since posting my previous to last post: Worked x resulting in an array of some 20 to 30 pages, that I had begun to edit down? Then on Monday morning; Computer glich: Latest work lost, files saved as recovery documents, system well and truly buggered!! So, had a cup of tea, next: Sinks blocked, not for the first, anti blocking liquid, no go!! Naturally upset – so went to watch T.V. Rationalised: Whatever could be done with computer/files; could be done at any time: The sink being blocked; that could not wait. Clearly the plumbing had to be stripped down to the source of the problem and what with me having one arm in a sling; another challenge: What might have taken no more than one hour resulted in something like 4 to five hours of effort. To add insult to injury: Having stripped down (the junction box) the pipework connecting the washing machine and sink to the outlet pipe. I started to cleaning the bits of pipework of there problem ‘scum’ that entered the system from the washing machine (liquid washing powder). Being concious of keeping things as clean as possible; I placed the stripped offending bits in a plastic bowl, placed it in the sink, removed (one handed) the offensive accumlated resido and turned on the tap to rinse the bits: When I noticed water coming out of the cupboard below – of course I had disconnected the plumbing. Anyway by the time I had cleaned up the water, pipes & reconnected everything and turned the tap on to test; nothing doing, the drain was still blocked. Another cup of tea!! Stripped back pipes tried this and that – could not get past the the bend at the end of the outlet pipe? Last resort, stuck the hoover into the outlet pipe: Like magic, glug after glug – job done; Except for the cleaning up. . . . . don’t ask!!!
Well and truly nackered. Back to lounge . . . . . Bish Bash Bosch. Einstien had sorted time out / /As had every other ARTIST in X POSITION!!![ Opposites] types out of X or x position.

To explain X syntactically is not an easy task. However what I did work out from what I had worked out is that MY reason is founded in LOGIC !!! - What’s yours?
SYSTEMS not there must be / there are any number being operated today? So consider is there one suitable (fit for purpose) for Quotations?
e.g How does one define a maxim?

……The speculative philosopher and the scientific specialist are liable to two opposite mistakes . The former tends to deliver frontal attacks on Reality as a whole, armed only with a few wide general principles, and to neglect to isolate and master in detail particular problems . The latter tends to forget that he has violently abstracted one part or one aspect of Reality from the rest , and to imagine that the success which this abstraction has given him within a limited field justifies him in taking the principles which hold therein as the whole truth about the whole world . The one cannot see the trees for the wood , and the other cannot see the wood for the trees . The result of both kinds of, mistake is the same, viz., to produce philosophical theories which may be self-consistent but which must be described as " silly". By a "silly” theory I mean one which may be Held at the time when one is talking or writing professionally, butwhich only an inmate of a lunatic asylum would think of carrying into daily life . ~ THE MIND AND IT’S PLACE IN NATURE C.

Anecdote:
I watched via/over the web a prize lecture; On a subject I had an interest in. It was reasonably well crafted with of course much x references with the odd quote thrown in for good measure. What I heard caused me to do some researching on the web. Amongst others was the name of the ”quoted” which led me to u/tube and the picture of the individual; Whom I had actually met at an international conference; Who whilst engaging with another, no more the what 18 or so inches away? Albeit I did not engage, talk or join the conversation. How many hours I spent on the web (pattern recognition) until I had formed some kind of considered opinion. I received notice of another talk by the aforementioned prize-man ( Term used to distinguish those scientists ‘a cut above the rest’ honoured with a medal from a credited institution ). This time sharing the platform with others, who also thought they had something to say. I guess each was allotted 20 mins to talk. The aforementioned used the same talk I had viewed on the web, editing the hour lecture down to 20 mins: Resulting in something only a moron would think listenable to. Whilst no dout much time had been dedicated to putting together the original lecture; If unable to reduce it to bullet points then all your firing is dumb dumb bullets. In other words the original lecture was a collaborative effort “A camel is a horse designed by a committee”. Which sounded good? But if one can’t sound out what was good = the point ( funding )?

That is just what we are experiencing; and we are riding it: riding it to a new age, a new birth, a totally new condition of mankind - to which no one anywhere alive today can say that he has the key, the answer, the prophecy, to its dawn.

Great Britain's men won an astonishing Olympic bronze medal in the gymnastics team final - having originally taken silver before a Japanese appeal.
Japan, initially placed in fourth, moved up to second after an appeal.
They were unhappy with the pommel horse score awarded to Kohei Uchimura and were elevated above Britain, after lengthy deliberation by the officials, with Ukraine missing out on a bronze medal in the process.
His appeal centred on whether he had been correctly rewarded for a partially botched dismount in his pommel horse routine. The three-time world champion's score was upgraded by 0.7 marks, enough to take Japan past Britain.
In a bizarre and confusing finale, the Japanese lodged their successful appeal, which was met with inevitable derision / from the home crowd!
HOWEVER AT THE POST EVENT INTERVIEW THE BRITISH GYMNASTS ‘ HAD NO PROBLEM’ STATING TO A MAN “ THE AIM WAS TO GET THE TEAM INTO A TOP FIVE PLACE!!! ” NOT EVEN IN THEIR DREAMS DID THEY EVEN THINK OR CONSIDER A MEDAL PLACE.
To put on a show like Olympic one needs: On one side the coin “as it were” Hero’s ( Entertainers ) famous Sportsmen, brings in the sponsors, advertisers, those who need to seen, etc). On the other side of the coin “as it were” Organization (Administrators / Systems), Each playing their own type, style of SPORT : On the field it’s in the form of physical confrontation; Supporting the field, (how many SPORTS are played) coaches, judges, trainers, medical staff, the list is never ending.

There are now no more horizons. And with the dissolution of horizons we have experienced and are experiencing collisions, terrific collisions, not only of peoples but also of their mythologies. It is as when dividing panels are withdrawn from between chambers of very hot and very cold airs: there is a rush of these forces together…. That is just what we are experiencing; and we are riding it: riding it to a new age, a new birth, a totally new condition of mankind - to which no one anywhere alive today can say that he has the key, the answer, the prophecy, to its dawn.

This thread, and nearly everything within it makes no logical, categorical, progessive, or even twisted sort of sense.
Everything you are posting is non-sense. Between quotes that have no relation to one another to sentence fragments with odd points of emphasis, none of it is intelligible.
This is why you have not had anyone respond to this topic other than myself, and that only to tell you it makes no sense.
I would like to ask that you stop updating this topic unless a central point becomes very clear within the next post. Continually updating a thread in this manner that has no other contributing members is just about on par with bumping it so it stays in the limelight.
I am sorry if it makes sense to you, for it doesn't to myself, and, I'm guessing, most of the rest of the member base here.
Philosophy isn't the the equivalent of yelling a bunch of jibberish and hoping meaning coalesces from the pieces.
As I said, unless you are able to articulate a clear central discussion that other members are able (and hopefully willing) to participate in, I will be locking this thread so that it stops maintaining its heading at the top of the GD forum.
