The Three Positions of Space

Philosophy Forums Philosophy

Space has only three positions that are of interest to us. These are:

Here
There
Inner

“Here” refers to the position of the object of our concern.
“There” refers to the position that is not the position of the object of our concern.
“Inner” is not a reference but a positional identity of referer and object.

Actually these are x,y and z from which t is a consequence not an antecedent.

Here and there both depend on time and space, Inner sounds like word salad?

But do digress?

Space has only three positions that are of interest to us. These are:

69
Missionary
Doggy Style

“69” refers to objects that are recursive and eternal.
“Missionary” refers to objects that are just normal.
“Doggy Style” is not a reference but a positional identity of referer and object.

I agree, can’t argue with that. :smiley:

I can give an example of “inner”.
When sceintists claim that we are our brains then they are saying that we are coincident (not here or there) with the position of our brain.

Sounds like a bit of a non starter to me, yes we cannot define consciousness as being exactly here or there, but it is somewhere even if its location is never a precise thing.
