Hi Richard,

>>>of a rational universe versus an irrational universe. Now the rational universe is one that operates according to rules. Previously it seemed to be one that came into existense because of a set of axioms. Universes can have existed forever, with no beginning, always one preceeding the other, and still be operating according to rules.>So what is it. Can time in some sense be infinity in both directions and still operate in universes that have rules? I do not know of a physics theory that disallows that. I hope you do not say that philosophy disallows it.>BTW, it is not rational to change definitions in mid stream. One tends to get wet that way.>PS: I love using one's own words against one. Many thanks.
