daniel j’s philosophy (you sound like you claim you are him) is a circular philosophy, mediocre philosophy.

It’s a complete foundational ontology. That’s by no means mediocre. Philosophy today is more specialized, philosophy like this is rare. Philosophy like this hasn’t come along in decades, perhaps centuries.

It’s similar to the philosophy of Parmenides yet provides explicit, functional terms and definitions. The ontology also features theological versatility, something else not found in Parmenides’ philosophy. Parmenides didn’t even explicitly define his terms.

The ontology is also comparable to Spinoza, however much more concise and accessible without the pantheistic rigidity. The philosophy presented is quite significant.

existence exists, profound. and you made it a wall of text just finding different ways to say existence exist.

That is a grand oversimplification. Nowhere in the essay is “existence exists” explicitly expressed. In fact argumentation and explication are provided to address that very issue:

@anon51310602

The Definition Of Existence

Standard definitions of existence are often ambiguous and circular. They provide no means of substantiation. Existence is defined as simply being, being defined as simply existence. The terms form a vacuous loop of abstraction with no substantiation in concrete, real world instances.

The definition presented herein resolves that issue. The definition is functional and operational. Existence is defined; existence is that which is perceived or interacted with, at least in part. With the definition provided one could see a tree, touch a leaf, hear a bird or smell a flower and declare existence.

This is further addressed in the Additional Notes section:

@anon51310602

Existence is not merely defined as “that which is” because “is” would have to be addressed which would involve perception. The matter implicitly involves perception and interaction; the term “is” only has significance with perception.

…which ties into the Significance Of Perception section:

@anon51310602

The Significance Of Perception

Perception or consciousness is part of the basis of defining existence because conscious entities, such as ourselves, are who this issue matters to. Existence, things can be without consciousness or awareness, but consciousness or awareness must be included because that’s what we are. For our purposes existence is that which is, or can, at least partially, be perceived. It involves perception both because perception is part of existence and because the issue intimately concerns conscious entities. It implicitly involves perception or consciousness because that is the process used for such inquiry and exchange.

@anon51310602

Perception is a parametric base allowing us to ground existence in practical, concrete ways.

Continuing, you stated:

@futureone

no science

Well, the subject is philosophy, not science. Although the essay does address and include science:

@anon51310602

All inquiries, including those in science, involve perception and interaction. The line between a semantic test and a truly empirical test is blurred. Scientific tests are not independent of observers. Scientists observing experiments are conscious beings using perceptive tools to interpret data. The data itself is a result of interaction between phenomena. Thus science operates within the definition of existence provided.

…physics is mentioned here:

@anon51310602

An ocean is an example of material space. An ocean, or at least part of one, can be touched and is obviously tangible. An ocean provides material resistance because it consists of densely arranged molecules and atoms. Relatively the vacuum of outer space is an example of immaterial space. The vacuum provides no resistance as it concerns minimal molecules and atomic arrangements allowing material bodies motion.

The vacuum does not concern matter in the terrestrial sense. The vacuum concerns quantum fields, radiation and sparingly atoms or molecules. Too few molecules are present to form tangible, solid material.

Reading the entire essay is recommended.
