The bylaws allow each of us to use our own definitions, (and appeal to authority is not usually correct form in a formal argument).
According to Korzybski, when the definition one uses differs from the standard definition in some way, it seems appropriate to mention that fact, and declare the specific definition the speaker has in mind. In the following definitions I have attempted to present some accepted but thought provoking definitions as a starting point for further discussion:
Webster's definition of Metaphysics"General semantics may be regarded as a systematic attempt to formulate the general method of science in such a way that it might be applied not only in a few restricted areas of human experience, but generally in daily life. It is concerned with science as a general method, as a basic orientation, as a generalized way of solving problems." — Wendell Johnson General Semantics Definitions
"Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately. " Synergy
"Philosophical Terms and Definitions" Philosophy for Everyone
"This paper introduces a radical theory of consciousness that is transdisciplinary and externally-referenced. It is also extremely parsimonious. One simple concept and a few of its implications explain, not only consciousness, but many other phenomena that are paranormal under the standard paradigm." Enformy
"Syntropy is the law of elsewhere-importing and always-orderly regrouping of the entropic exportings of all dying systems." Syntropy
"The support of life on our planet consists of two kinds__metaphysical and physical. Both cosmic and terrestrial energetic regeneration, organic and inorganic, are physical; while the know-what of pure science and the know-how of applied science are both metaphysical. Metaphysical and Physical
SIN: not following orders of the feudal lord, authority figure, or diety.
KARMA: What goes around, comes around.
GUILT: Self punishment, a form of neurosis.
"Reality is part of the economy of language," says Baudrillard; however, according to von Ludwig[1] , it is not so much reality that is part of the economy of language, but rather the failure of reality. The subject is contextualised into a semantic neoconstructivist theory that includes reality as a paradox. A number of theories concerning cultural discourse exist. Post Modernist Examples
