On this site, I am publishing some finished texts of my own. The texts
are connected between each other, and should make a consistent model of
Mind and its relation to Reality.
Index of texts
1. Justification of
what is to be presented
This text is the basis of texts which are to follow. It shows the basic
method which would be followed, and the presentation of the general
context in which Mind would be analyzed.
2. Notes on some consequences
Doesn't develop the model further in any way, just puts attention on
some consequence of the conclusions from the part one.
3. First principles
Analyzes the nature of the model that is going to be given, and gets to
the first principles of the model, which are whole and lots of
differentiations.
4. Space and time
Starting from the whole closest thing we can get to are time and space.
But this part is not properly describing their meaning, just pointing
to a
common misconceptions, and proper way to look at them
5. Experienced and experiencer
Explains how the problems including the relation of experiencer and
experiencer can be solved by "objectifying" experiencer as part of what
is experienced.
6. Formalizing whole/part model
Tries to give a simple but precise form to what has been already said
about whole and parts.
9. Notes on concepts
Analyzes some consequences from the concepts as defined in previous
part, how it connects with several "basic" concepts, and how it
addresses the possibility question from the first text.
11. Intraconcept relations
(relation concepts)
Based on previous text, it is shown how it is possible to explain
"relation" concepts like bigger, smaller, brighter, louder etc...,
which at first glance seem to contradict the earlier definition of
concept
12. Abstract imagination and facts
which cover every possible experience
In the part eight: Concepts, Intraconcept Propositions and Facts, we
analyzed "truths" which are connected with concepts which are part of
each other, or truths about the immediate experience. In this part we
see how it is possible to recognize necessary relations between
different concepts.
13. Number
Based on the previous text, I am hopefully now able to show how
mathematics (concepts of it, truths of relations between concepts) can
be based in model of mind as described.

Some Technical Notes
When I tried to put my thoughts on those issues in a text
document
couple of years ago, it was only several pages. But with time as I
thought further on the issues, and tried to explain the ideas better,
the document got bigger and bigger. Also lot of the answers I got to,
just provoked new questions, and new issues to think about, and write
about.
As a result of all this, I got to the state where I have one big
document, in which things keep changing, and in which there are lot
more open questions then I had in the start (although different ones).
As much as I would like to have a finished and nicely polished system
before publishing anything in public, this kind of development of
events doesn't give me right to think that I can have such thing ready
even after couple more years.
Because
of that I think that instead of waiting to finish the whole
thing, it makes more sense to publish it on web as sequence of parts.
That would allow me to work and clean it part by part, and also isolate
the things which I see as finished, from further opened issues and
questions. That doesn't mean of course that I won't mention those
issues, just that they would be mentioned as open, not putting my vague
ideas about how those should be approached. And in this way, I also
hope that I will get some kind of feedback, and that would inspire me
for further work. So, if you happen to read a part or more parts of my
work, I would be grateful if you write several (or more) lines to me.
It should be clear from
what has been said thus far that all those texts are really part of one
bigger model, and it would be almost impossible to fully understand
later of them before reading former. But I would really try to make
each of them separate and have a kind of conclusion in each of them, so
reading and understanding of each of them will not be dependent on what
is to come in the next.
Other then that I must apologize to reader about the mistakes in my
English. I
will be very careful, but not being native English speaker there would
be surely mistakes which I would not be aware of.
I hope that some of the arguments in the text would help to clear up
some of the issues, or at least to provoke some thinking in solving
them.
