The Abstract Condition

Abstract is defined as that which arises directly out the binding (the Third Condition TM). While inertia describes the behavior of matter within the context of Motion and Force and this model deals...

Cause and Effect

Cause is defined as difference opened. Effect is defined as difference closed. Difference The simplest of constructs. By difference we refer to any and all of that which can be said to be identifiable...

The Rational – An Early-Days Introduction

Rational is defined as that which adheres to the principles and that iteratively bind Cause, Effect, Function, and Form into The Rational. The Rational is defined as an implementation of the Principles...

Intrinsic

Intrinsic : that which arises directly out of Function and Form such that Form implements Function and Function iterates Form (the Second Condition TM). The Second Condition, the Intrinsic,...

Attributes

Attribute is defined as any given Cause, Effect, Function, or Form. Growth is the behavior of any given metabolism such that value aggregates persistent attributes with novel attributes. This simple...

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications, 3rd Edition

from the book Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications, 3rd Edition Our failure to master the complexity of software results in projects that are late, over budget, and deficient in their...

Experience

Experience is defined as any change to a given aggregate that becomes an attribute of that aggregate. Experience joins us at the simplest of entry points into this model. Experience serves us, as...

To Where Goes Infinity?

Most of us accept that infinity is a term for that which is too expansive for measurement. This gift from Aristotle, infinity is viewed as that which extends endlessly outward from a given center,...

Gravity and Mass – the chicken or the egg

The consensus is, “gravity arises from mass”, and we come to understand that the greater the mass the greater its gravity. Unfortunately, velocity also increases mass and does so without any...

Intimacy And The Machine

(herein ) Intimacy is defined as the sharing of vulnerabilities. Vulnerability is defined as inexpressed causality. Vulnerabilities are also known as needs. Needs can be persistent and existential....

The Point – Beyond SpaceTime To MassTime

No Science No Math No Logic The smallest construct in the known universe is The Point. The point occupies no “Space”. I could never accept space as a truth. Sure, we “use” the word, and most understand...

Innate

The innate is the first Condition, First Experience, and the First Shift. The Innate encapsulates the Point, and Points are a single MassTime event. Any given instance of the Innate is an instance of...

Difference Open

The above definition of Cause asserts a source of or for “Difference”. Analogous to the Electrical term “switch open” where the source of difference is both voltage and amperes. The RMCM asserts that...

Directly out of Cause and Effect

  As we were discussing the RMCM, throughout the past 14 years, we (Rick and me, Don) came to believe that we needed categories of “simplicity” to allow us to find the outermost construct of a given...
