I guess I thought of it as a proper noun for a school of thinking. Hey, it
was late.

Alas, he's pushed his Agoric credit to my limit, and refuses to replenish it
by the simple act that might lessen any need for extra trouble by me.
Specifically, he ignores my specific and detailed requests for basic
clarification of his syntax, when the sheer linguistic meaning does not come
across (even if, technically, it is grammatically correct). Not even on the
very points that he complains, rightly, that I "just don't get". Aside from
which, I expect, not unreasonably, I think, that all I would see at his URL
is more of the same.

As am I. First things first. That's why I'm not eager for another half baked
helping from his URL.

Fist of all, I think that I at least got a concession that there is the
objectively real "Elephant", and that apprehending it's true nature is a
separate question. That there is a distinction between Ontology, and that
aspect of the Phenomena in that it provides an ongoing simulation of
reality, from input, in which we each actually live.
Unless you've joined late, you should have those posts.
