and i think that line of reasoning (in your title) lends support for Dr. Dick's ideas.
what i think is new is the idea that reality can be defined as a set of numbers, the ideas about time in that the past is knowable or could have been knowable and the future is unknowable are also i think unique definitions for time.
Mike i know that you have a good academic back ground. have you ever encountered such definitions in your education or reading experiences?
