Hi Alamo-Girl! I'm just seeing your post #389 now -- don't know how I missed it before. Anyhoot, some of Tertium Organum's science is a little dated, given the work was written very early in the last century. But Ouspensky seems very strong on dimensionality issues, which is why I remembered him after all these years (I read this book before I turned 20, and haven't revisited it since -- til very recently). Clearly, he is a Platonist in his approach to fundamental issues.

I think I'll be doing a serious reconsideration of Ouspensky very soon, just as soon as I finish the three or so books I've got going right now (including the Penrose).... Sigh, so much to read, so little time!!! (I've got a date with Attila Grandpierre this weekend -- another Platonist, it seems to me, on the basis of a cursury flip through his pages....)

Thank you so much, A-G, for the link, the information, and for all you do in general. This has been a marvelously informative thread so far.

Thank you so much for your post and for the previous excerpt from Tertium Organum! That is now on my reading list along with some other subjects mentioned along the way here.

Indeed, this thread has been very informative - I couldn't have asked for better dialogue! I'm also very pleased with the demeanor; people seem to be genuinely interested in sharing information and insight!

Yeehaw!!!
