How do you assess whether or not the idea applies to a specific situation? You need an objective way of determining this. Here is a list of few ASD states to ascertain why it is wrong: ASD States: State 1 – Connection: For A and B or more to have a type of relationship between both or more, then both or more must establish a connection between both or more. State 2 – Change Process: For either A and B or more to be less or greater than sum of both or more, then both or more must undergo a change process toward an equilibrium. State 3 – Equilibrium: For A and B or more to be at equilibrium, then both or more must be equalized to each other. Note 1 of 3: A and B or more refer to objects and / or systems. Note 2 of 3: Connection refers to any type of connection (ie. any types of relationship). Note 3 of 3: The change process refers to all known actionable words or processes (eg. bonding, creating, forming, decaying, etc). Will you please explain which or even all states is/are wrong, an example of it being wrong, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, if things have no way of interacting then they cannot affect each other.

So, if two or more things are not in equilibrium (and are able to interact, per 1) then they will tend towards equilibrium.

A definition of the well-defined concept of equilibrium.

Maybe ASD could be of tiny use: 'What is Quantum Gravity?' article, 'Is Quantum Gravity Proven?' section, dated March 21, 2018 - from: https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-quantum-gravity-2699360 quote: "Attempts to combine them generally run into the "renormalization problem," in which the sum of all of the forces do not cancel out and result in an infinite value. In quantum electrodynamics, this happened occasionally, but one could renormalize the mathematics to remove these issues. Such renormalization does not work in a quantum interpretation of gravity." I'm wondering with a question as follow: Have you or anyone ever tried to use ASD to pit two or more incompatible theories against each other instead of combing both or more, to see what emerge as result? The theories could include General Relativity, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Theory, or other ones which I'm not aware about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm neither a qualified scientist / mathematician nor expert. Idk. I'm a bit unsure whether if ASD is a concept construction based on a pattern or is a pattern that which I "see" kinda in something part of everywhere but then maybe it is just me. I guess I thought I could make use of it to solve two or more incompatible things or something like that. Call it a contribution of sort. If ASD is useless here, then I'll discuss ASD elsewhere where there might be more meaning to it. Thanks for participating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When either a or b or more is less or greater than the sum of both or more, a change undergo between both or more until equilibrium is reached. Since if the ASD is true then that means some things while asding can be perceived to be good, bad, or neutral as situational dependent.

Science recognised many more types of equilibrium than the limited view you offer here. So Science distinguishes for instance stable, metastable and unstable equilibrium in one classification; static and dynamic equilibrium in another, further your system is stated to require two or more entities. What about the equilibrium of a single entity or system ? How does your assertion fit in with these ? Edited April 27, 2020 by studiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture is a perfect example of human(s) using (eg. including gravity, other factors) but I call it ASD, at a right condition (ASD is situational dependent) to construct that balanced rocks.

What is the ultimate beginning, middle, and inevitable destination of entities/objects/systems while in any equilibrium state as you said, also while in any type of relationship?

Other comments: I still think ASD could be a concept construction by myself to define and explain the general mechanism of The Nature, in seemingly unified way regarding any type of relationship between objects/systems. Probably appropriated for my level of understanding. It is still important to see if ASD is right or wrong. For some reason I keep thinking ASD could be an inference of pattern by gravity or something like that. But though, I'm only layman person. I can't cognitize further beyond ASD, and into the intricate / complexity of science. This is my limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylers100 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Afternoon, all. The adaptive semi-determinism or ASD is a concept conceived by myself in an attempt to define and explain the universal mechanism behind everything, or at least I think so. I thought I'd share about the ASD to all of you on here. I had hoped that by sharing about it, it could become more developed or evolved understanding via discussion between you and me. Unfortunately, it became apparent that I performed poorly of job with the definition and explanation for the ASD mechanism. As result of that, I have decided to discontinue my contribution to philosophy / science. It is clear that I have no place in either domains or fields. I wasted your time, for that I am sorry and won't bother any of you again. I wish you good luck with finding, proving, and putting the final theory to good use if there is any. Good day to all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasted your time, for that I am sorry and won't bother any of you again. Part of the problem is that science uses very specific definitions for most things. You've found it easier to make up some of your own, to describe what's in your head, because what you were reading didn't make immediate sense to you. It's a bad habit, that's all, like using too much slang that others don't know. Instead of making stuff up, you should be learning the definitions science uses, so you can better communicate what you're thinking. As Strange said, you should stick around and get involved in other discussions. It's a great way to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joigus Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I think something that may help most people reading this post is to provide simple examples of what you mean just after you've introduced some of your definitions. Great philosophers (especially philosophers of science, like, e.g., Bertrand Russell) always set up explanatory examples after an abstract notion was introduced. Examples are like the "laboratory" of philosophy. Help your potential readers know that you mean business. On the whole, I don't think for a second that getting an idea of what a TOE will look like will be helped along by philosophical thinking alone. I'm pessimistic if you want.
