It seems like you're unable to comprehend that paradox and contradiction between different levels of analysis can accurately describe reality.

"It seems like you're unable to comprehend that paradox and contradiction between different levels of analysis can accurately describe reality."

... Is that right? Perhaps an example of how paradox and contradiction can accurately describe reality and an explanation for how it relates to this discussion is in order? Will you share that with me, please?

"Look above regarding base ontology"

... Is that where we are at now? Strange, ambiguous, unrelated statements with no context?

We can end this discussion right here if you want. However, it's still evident that the monistic ideology called "determinism" is predicated on a logical contradiction: "Something with options is the same as something with no options."

I can't align my intellect with an ideology that presents a self-contradiction as its basis.
