I'm interested in:

Is this a thesis or common knowlege?

  • 1.Is there anyone to say: I have not heard about divisibility; I have not heard that everything is divisible; I have not heard that nothing is indivisible? Aren’t they taught in schools and written in textbooks? The statement ‘everything is divisible’ directly implies that ‘things which cannot exhibit divisibility cannot be made.’ How much research, thinking or resources a common man need to restate the preceding statement to ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit divisibility’? ‘Everything is divisible: is this an apriori proposition, or postori inference, or a fact, or common knowledge out of experience?
  • 2.Is there anyone to say: I have not heard about comparability; I have not heard that everything is comparable to everything else; nothing is completely isolated? How can one say that a thing is different from or similar to the other things without making a comparison? How can one compare things which cannot exhibit comparability? How can one arrive at a conclusion – this is different from that or this is similar to that in no thing can exhibit comparability? Aren’t they taught in schools and written in textbooks? The statement ‘everything is comparable to everything else’ directly implies that ‘things which cannot exhibit comparability cannot be made.’ How much research, thinking or resources a common man need to restate the preceding statement to ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit comparability’? Everything is comparable to everything else: is this an apriori proposition, or postori inference, or a fact, or a common knowledge out of experience?
  • 3.Is there anyone to say: I have not heard about connectivity; I have not heard that everything is connected to everything else? Aren’t they taught in schools and written in textbooks? The statement ‘everything exhibits connectivity’ directly implies that ‘things which cannot exhibit connectivity cannot be made.’ How much research, thinking or resources a common man need to restate the preceding statement to ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit connectivity‘? Everything is connected to everything else: is this an apriori proposition, or postori inference, or a fact, or knowledge out of experience?
  • 4.Is there anyone to say: I have not heard about disturbability; I have not heard that everything is disturbable/sensitive/susceptible; I have not heard that nothing is insensitive? Aren’t they taught in schools and written in textbooks? The statement ‘everything is disturbable’ directly implies that ‘things which cannot exhibit disturbability cannot be made.’ How much research, thinking or resources a common man need to restate the preceding statement to ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit disturbability‘? Everything is sensitive and disturbable: is this an apriori proposition, or postori inference, or a fact, or knowledge out of experience?
  • 5.Is there anyone to say: I have not heard about reordering; I have not heard that everything is reorderable? Aren’t they taught in schools and written in textbooks? The statement ‘everything is reorderable’ directly implies that ‘things which cannot exhibit reorderability cannot be made.’ How much research, thinking or resources a common man need to restate the preceding statement to ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit reorderability ?‘ Everything is reorderable: is this an apriori proposition, or postori inference, or a fact, or knowledge out of experience?
  • 6.Is there anyone to say: I have not heard about substitutions; I have not heard that everything has a substitute? Aren’t they taught in schools and written in textbooks? The statement ‘everything is substitutable’ directly implies that ‘things which cannot exhibit substitutability cannot be made.’ How much research, thinking or resources a common man need to restate the preceding statement to ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit substitutability‘? Everything is substitutable: is this an apriori proposition, or postori inference, or a fact, or knowledge out of experience?
  • 7.Is there anyone to say: I have not heard about statisfiability; I have not heard that everything is required to satisfy the plan with which it is created; I have not heard about need or requirement? Aren’t they taught in schools and written in textbooks? The statement ‘everything is satisfiable’ directly implies that ‘things which cannot exhibit satisfiablity cannot be made.’ How much research, thinking or resources a common man need to restate the preceding statement to ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit satisfiablity‘? Everything is satisfiable: is this an apriori proposition, or postori inference, or a fact, or knowledge out of experience?


How much research or intelligence is required to put the arugments 1 to 7 and make the statement : ‘no one can have the knowledge to make a thing which cannot exhibit: divisibility, comparability, connectivity, disturbability, reorerability, substitutability, and satisfiablity? Is this a thesis or common knowlege?

Propositions of a general nature like everything has a certain property or nothing has a certain property are theses which cannot be proved unless they are analytic, i.e. that they are true by definition. For instance: there are no married bachelors. Empirical statements such as all ravens are black are only true as long as we haven't found a raven which is not black. Of course, if you define a raven as a black bird, you return to an analytic statement. All the propositions of S.Nayaki are empirical and widely applicable, that's all.
