For what purpose would I want your soul whatever that is, I am afraid you have
tottaly lost me on this.

I am not so sure what you mean by not true. (for you, me, as a general model)

Yes, okay but I was talking about motives and values and needs.

Okay, but both those laws cannot be on the level of the continuos field
only on the Discriminant object. We then use our just noticeable
differences (JND) and logic like and/and and or/or.

Winfried I actually do not understand what you are saying some times and I
put that down to you not having English as a first language. I also did
not assume your attachments to logic, attachments, I meant, were to our
values not to logic. Logic is our mental mechanism of using our capacities
to understand complexity. Is that what you mean it to be?

No I was not surprised but had no idea of what you were saying or what it
meant. Maybe you should elaborate.

Winfried using the word wish can mean that you would like it to be so but
it can never really be so. Is this understanding of mine correct? or does
it mean something else?

I am not too sure what your statement means here either.
