What specifically did you find wrong with my proposed set of principles, especially 1 and 2, Perhaps if you had presented them in Roman script, or maybe Courier..

>>This is a classification system, and as such it flawed in its completeness and precision by principles 6 and 7. What specifically did you find wrong with my proposed set of principles, especially 1 and 2, with the above clarification as to the non-physicality of the seat of consciousness borne in mind?<< It was clear to me that your principles 6 and 7 applied to principle 2 (other than me), but not necessarily to principle 1(me). I would argue that the division between me and not-me is not self evident enough to base the other principles on. When I am driving down the highway, and I want to change lanes, "I" drift to the left. I don't consciously apply a torque to the steering wheel to affect a change in the cars direction. In this situation, does changing lanes fall under direct knowledge/action? Or does it fall under the "other than me" which obeys rules established by models which follow logic (but are flawed by imprecision)? The subject reminds me of the orange juice commercial where you see a small boy and girl sitting on a porch watching the sun rise and drinking (what else?) orange juice. As the boy drinks, the sun rises. The girl exclaims in wonder... "Do it again!".
