FUSIBLE CRICKET BALLS AND INSTANCING GOD'S
PROPERTIES.
Encountering, abstracting and instantiating
the term *cricket ball* includes reducing
it to the generic term *ball* so as to render
it nominally admissible and applicable to
the entire class or group of *balls.* In
doing so the brain calls up information on
the general attributes and behaviour of balls.
Our neuro-sensorial encounters with nouns
(as with all other parts of speech) trigger
automatic search, match and mapping processes.
The reduction of complex ideas to a simpler
concept inclusive of a general domain is
a felicitous feature of abstraction. Abstracting
allows the understanding of a variety of
specific scenarios in terms of certain basic
ideas. The brain instantiates coalesced or
compounded adjective/nouns combinations in
such a way that *cricket ball* is represented
as a fused instance of a nominal singularity.
Sometimes the lexical unity formed by the
two words are joined together – tooth + paste
= toothpaste. Sometimes they are joined using
a hyphen- check-in, and sometimes they appear
as two separate words – full moon and cricket
ball.
Does there exist an authoritative list of
these examples? If so what authority is such
that it has access to the private cognitive
behaviour of others' brains? Are these nomino-adjectival
combinations the result of repetitive usage?
Is *cricket* to be cognized of as a *property*
of *ball?* Is *ball* to be cognized of as
a *property* of *cricket?* In what way is
the term: *blue ball* combinatorially and
propertorially different from *cricket ball?*
Why is coalescence favoured for some combinatory
lexical hybrids and not others? Why is *cricket
ball* considered a singularity and *blue
ball* treated with the prenominal adjective
*blue* continuing to be considered as a *property
of *ball?*
If all attributed adjectival/noun relationships
are actually fusibly perceived, where does
this leave the ancient folk beliefs of the
existence of *properties* and what is the
difference (other than syntactical) between
attributive and predicative sentences? The
answer is none. Such attribution whether
it be in the form of lexical unity or propertorial
transcendentalist flummery is an existential
modality not of the way that the attributee
nominata of such referenda are said to exist
- but the human-centred classificatory manner
in which the human attributionariate exists.
Instantiating God.
My researches and analysis of the copuletic
*is* shows that the orphanic copular is NEVER
EVER involved in mapping to entitic (property-vacuous)
pure or propertyless entities. In my view
it is humanly impossible (psychologically
infeasible) to neurologically map to a existential
nullity – whether it be a spirituous nihility
or otherwise. In other words humans would/could
never attribute meaningful names to entities
either factual of fictional that are property-bereft,
otherwise they would be meaningless. The
mention of ANY NOUN automatically initialises
a neurological search for a hit. Such a referential
retrieval throws up associated semantic associations
– whichever colligate data presents first
is a property-based allusion to the subject
noun. The neuro-linguistic reflexive cross-referential
search-response to any nominal stimulant
can be characterised as privately covert,
opinionatively predicative implicature. If
a noun which refers to a designatum or nominatum
is mentioned which is unknown to the addressee
no such connection is made and watch the
discussant’s lips moisten, his eyes glaze
over in abortifaciental post *search, match
n' map* mode of incomprehension.
