I don't understand the questionIs this "arrangement" something quantifiable of each particle ("yes" falsifies physicalism and "no" falsifies physicalism).
I don't know how to help you there.I would say the answer is no, that which doesn't perceive doesn't manifest a description.
I say we make mental images and communicate those images, we aren't actually communicating the objects for which we have a mental image.
And communication and perception are due to our higher functioning.
"Higher functioning" is not going to win me over. My car may have "higher functioning" over my garage, so what?
I don't understand the problem with using different delimiters. why should the delimiter used to discuss anything be particle?Help me understand how one thing can have two different descriptions in physicalism. Help me understand how a physicalist can use "higher functioning" and use another description to refer to the same thing in the same context (1 can't equal 2 or 3). In my opinion, you should only get to say particle A, particle C, space, space, space, particle A, space, particle B, particle B, space etc. Are you a physicalist, or are you a realist?
