Paul, call it what you want, but there is a major difference between you and Dick with regard to the interpretation issues. For example, Dick obviously sees his work as pertaining to restrictions in supernatural laws (see http://www.astronomy.net/forums/god/messages/26691.shtml ) and there are many, many other areas that extend beyond even this metaphysical discussion. You, on the other hand, appear content to cut out all the fluff and would submit Dick's paper as a mathematical paper where reality becomes 'R1', known becomes 'K1', unknown becomes 'K2', subconscious becomes 'SC', and so on. How willing do you really think Dick would be to the tearing apart of his paper along these lines? If you think he would be actually willing to do so, then you are kidding yourself.

Warm regards, Harv
