They're a novel application of all the same rules.Sure there are. Games implement physics and character interactions in all kinds of different ways, some of which are not represented in any other context.
Quote:Let's say you've arrived at a truth-- say the truth of classical physics. Then you arrive at a truth-- the truth of general relativity. Then you arrive at a truth-- the truth of quantum mechanics. In what way do you feel you've arrived at big-T truth? Because remember, you are pushing that evidence is evidence and truth is truth, and that neither is dependent on context.I don't think that any of those things are truths, they're explanations. Each is the conclusion of an inductive argument, they are potentially, but not necessarily, true. Again, I think that you're making a huge mistake at the very bottom of this whole process.
Just to reiterate a simple explanation for why I don't use those terms interchangeably. A person may see a ghost, that doesn't make the ghost evident, nor does it mean that there really is a ghost. Experience, evidence, truth.
The context bit is your baby, not mine, there's no sense in trying to saddle me with the consequences of your own poor word usage and equivocations. I don't and wouldn't use any of those terms in the manner that you've used them.
