Notes - plausibility in fiction / dog-paddling a necessity / all function?

       You woke up early this morning, left the bed for the chair and the iPad mini and composed a short series of analogies. Set them here. – Amorella

       1012 hours. I was just reading about the MAT (Miller Analogy Test) and Analogies on Wikipedia as a reminder to myself how they are. It didn’t take much recollection to realize I do not have much ability with these. I was told I got into graduate school because of how I performed on the MAT but I can’t imagine I did that well. Perhaps I did better than I did on the GRE and that helped. I can’t remember my score but it couldn’t have been that high. This would have been back in 1968. This morning I just did them one after the other with a short pause between each line. The point was to try to picture a ‘Whole” with physics and metaphysic in terms of the basic “Body and Soul” separation and togetherness. (my mind is stumbling already). (1021)

       You fear being made foolish by your thinking or rather your inability to put things together properly. Just put them down, orndorff, and let them rest for further thought later. – Amorella

2134 hours. - add into the above what is form and what is function, is it plausible that all are function as much as form?

       The point of this spontaneous exercise was to create a reference point for yourself so that you might reason your way in and out of physics and metaphysics, that is the entirety of the physical universe into the middle of metaphysics as far as the “living and soul and the dead and myself (as an outsider whether real or imaginary)” are concerned in relationship to the Merlyn stories and this EIM blog.

       1034 hours. I need to have an intellectual as well as a plausible imaginary base to build from. This is a necessity for me to be clear on plausibility in fiction.

      Noon, local time. You are heading out to pick up the tub and perhaps your tile today. Your analogies this morning were obviously first drafts. It is important that you get these points in your head – it is a way to keep your head above water and also do some dog-paddling. – Amorella

       1203 hours. This is, as always, a fun project, Amorella, as long as you are with me.
