Heidegger

I have just added a core concept to Eliminative Determinism. [see below]

I have had to employ some abstractions - abstractions which at a later
stage I will attempt to ‘de-abstracticate’ [if there is such a term?]
Abstractions are difficult to avoid, but as long as somebody doesn’t accuse
me of believing that they actually exist [I don’t mean anyone on this list]
then I am not really bothered about using them. What DOES bother me a little,
although it is pivotal to my thesis, is the idea of a *Law of Physics.*

Whilst I believe that no such physical law ACTUALLY - exists anymore than
the *Laws, Rules and Regulations of the Marylebone Cricket Club* exist, and
it is the players, the governers, the spectators who exist and observe the
abstraction called *the rules* or *the laws of cricket * etc. I am looking for
a nice short phrase which says this and can be applied to any system
including the cosmos itself.

Any ideas?

BASIC CONCEPTS

The most basic concept of Eliminative Determinism suggests that the
human-centred scenario of individual ‘events’ is only a minuscule example of the
constantly changing universe as enacted by every networked reticulation of macro
and micro causal object both historical and contemporary.

We argue that ‘that which causes’ equals ‘that which exists’ and ‘that
which exists’ equates to that which is holistically cosmically present itself.
The parts of the cosmos cannot cause and cannot exist and cannot even be
understood except in their relation to the whole

Such is the immensity and complexity of the cosmos; such is the universal
ubiquity of modal change, and such is the homogeny between ‘change’ and
’cause,’ all of which is governed by the existential imperative which peremptorily
determines that ‘to exist’ is analogous ‘to cause.

For humans to seek to single out attribute individual ’cause’ to any causal
object is to differentiate and isolate that object as being an individually
*culpable* entity which is somehow antithetically separated from the overall,
shared, mutual or ‘joint causal responsibility’ or ‘catenulate
accountability’ of all the causal objects in the cosmos, both historical and contemporary
that exist in accordance with the laws of physics.
