You have a triangle.
Take away one side, is that the triangle? No?
Take away another side, is that the triangle? No?
Take away the last side, is that the triangle? No?
Then you now have nothing left, THEREFORE the triangle transcends its sides.
Which is obvious bullshit.
My (maybe presume our) position is that the triangle is the whole thing, and nothing you can do can change it from being a triangle without adding the supernatural.
Bullshit. I never stated anything about transcendency - only being emergent.
Where the hell did you get the idea that I was adding something supernatural to the equation? My position is and always has been that a triangle is the combination of all three sides in a particular arrangement.
