A room with a view is a room with a view, whether or not there is a viewer.

Then let's be bold. Objects are made real, ontologically and logically,
by a view. This isn't the quaint idea of a quantum world collapsing into
physical form by a view, nor is it psychologism where an individual's
'beliefs' contribute to a phenomenal world.

Thus, or for the cautious 'for example', a universe of one object cannot
realise that object for there is no view or framework in which the
object can possibly be presented. The only justification we can make for
a solitary object is to claim that it views itself, or else to suppose a
supernatural viewer. This idea is known as transcendental realism and is
an implicit foundation for all logics and sciences.

It is for this reason that I argue that logic and science are either
supernaturalisms or psychologisms, where the viewer, historically
presented as God, has been anthropomorphised and rendered invisible. For
these studies the viewer is ever-present, yet never 'seen', never
questioned. The consequences of questioning 'the view' can be dramatic,
if the explorer of knowledge wishes to travel that far.

These postings or yours are too brilliant to languish underappreciated
in sci.logic. You really should have them together printed on finest
stock, leather bound, and titled with gilded letters.
