Re: Relational space



John,

Have my kids this weekend and not much time to write.
Will compose to you and Howard again later this weekend.

But reading your last pgh gave me pause - and urge
to mention an idea .  You wrote:

It seems to me normal -and- reasonable to ponder on aspects "beyond"
our experience.  I've never 'experienced' a trillion dollars, yet I
wouldn't hesitate to speak -with confidence- about that amount of
money.  Science hasn't/couldn't bean-count -every- human on the
planet, yet -can- extrapolate population trends.  So, to extrapolate
- or better yet: more clearly identify experienced qualities and
relations .. as pervasive and holistically present/valid/real - is
not an unreasonable act to engage in, to feel some degree of confidence
in, and to trust [pending some subsequent bit of knowledge and conceiving
that might force another paradigm jump  :-)  ].

till later...
