This philosophy comes from a simple premise: Cause produces Effect. If you can prove that wrong, let me know. From that simple premise, I figured out these sub-laws, as one leads smoothly to another. Again, if you can find fault in any single one of them, I’ll be happy to learn. However, try watching Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time. The part where he admits he was wrong about time going backward is especially instructive.

You are asking me to prove a negative. That is impossible. If you claim some thing, you should bring the evidence yourself.

I brought up time specifically because of your example “A tree can’t make the seed it grew from. It can only make seeds for new trees.” with the underlying assertion “No effect can be its own cause”.

With just the two assumtions Reality is, and Reality causes effects, there is no reason why things could not happen again and again and again. However unlikely that currently may seem.

Adding the assertion like you did limits the possibilities unsupportedly. Excluding many possible unknown variables not uncovered yet.

On the subject of my issue with time being another subjects. No subject is unrelated to another

Quote: “But then, to have a philosophy that covers everything, the foundation needs to be basic, simple and useable for all situations.”

As for your issue with time, that’s another subject. One I touch briefly on in the linked post.

The assertion ‘R=sC+sE’ only assumes: Reality is, and Reality causes effects. Where you put the ‘events’, ‘objects’, ‘ideas’, ‘numbers’, ‘actions’, etc. does not matter in this abstraction. Reality is both the group and its parts.

From a human emotional perspective linear time matters, as it provides a feeling of being in control. While in my opinion ‘time’, like many other absolute-words, is just a description for ‘the unknown’. Thereby marking our gaps in knowledge of causality using these soft wordings.

In my opinion, this is the very reason why all these gods have these nice absolute properties. Because we don’t know much and are often saturated or overwhelmed by Reality.

Stress causes denial, repetition, addiction, believe and such, which creates order again. Or does so seemingly. Not really.

I would simply put it: R=sC+sE. Cause and Effect being functionally equivalent. And ‘s’ for simplification, since one cause can have multiple direct effects. And of course ‘R’ for Reality or Result.

It is basically what the scientific method boils down to.
