In the beginning...
#56
RE: In the beginning...
yes, it is an approximation. And yes again, it describes what is seen. But you are not taking into account that the approximation is off because of the measurements and interactions not accounted for. F=ma is not off.

Thought experiments work because they are not real. The logic is a step by step process on paper. You set the limits when you plug in numbers. Or ignore them totally when you state x+x=5.0. Where as in the "real world" there are far more interactions to contend with.

But you are right, because we don't know all, or don't account for all the interactions, it seems off. But if you made the up the measurements, like one does with thought logic, they would follow exactly how you set it up.
example f=ma a= 32.0 ft/s^2 m = 2.0 kg. It works perfectly when set up "logically" in a thought experiment.

I understand that it all starts with the mind. But we need to be careful letting the mind define these interactions. What is actually going on is that the interactions are defining the mind. The logic seems to be perfect because it is limited by the "fake" measurements. The "logic" of F=ma is based on real observations. The formulas you speak of are "rules of math". They are "ideal".

more on emotions when we settle the difference here.
