Hi, Terry,
You are also mistaken on the term “deictic.”
Your wrote: "Brain freeze ondeontic - should have been ‘deictic’ - in both cases. (Though deontic logic (Kripke) is really useful as a basis for resolving pseudo ‘wicked’ problems, design rationale and design space analysis if one ignores its original meaning)."
This is not quite right, either. Deictic proof does not refer to self-evident proof. Rather, it points to demonstrative logic – reasoning that proves directly, rather than indirectly. For something to be self-evident is somewhat different.
This post may have been hurried, but you've used deontic and deontically in earlier posts, criticizing my position against your own position, a position that you represented as "deontically obvious."
Your next comment is simply puzzling. You wrote, "My understanding of the commonality of the multiple definitions of ‘proof’ is as the establishment of something via testing. I suspect in your case, this view on proof would translate to something equivalent to the activity of ‘formal argument’ intended to establish a preferred position."
While you continually refer to neuro-science, you have not offered evidence based on testing to support your preferred position. You have repeatedly referred to your own research, but I haven't found any papers that you have published in the field of neuroscience. Your only papers on neuroscience seem to be presentations to design conferences where you offer your views about neuroscience.
In what way does your position differ from that of anyone who offers opinions on research in a field where he doesn’t do research?
If it seems like I'm a bit grumpy here, I am. You've spent a lot of time explaining how ignorant the rest of us are without demonstrating a reasonable case for your position.
Yours,
Ken
