Water Displacement Method This web-page says to use water displacement method to do so: https://sciencing.com/do-volume-object-6199021.html Another Way? But, is there a way to measure an irregular object without having to use the water displacement method for practical use with everyday objects? Gap Value The interesting thing about the formula for square or rectangled volume is that if used to measure irregular shaped objects, it would already contain gap information or gap values. The next step would be to find out how many amount gap number is then use total volume to subtract it to obtain an accurate volume for irregular object being measured. But the thing is I don't know how to obtain the amount of gap value number. Why Gap Value? Since the math is used as tool so the value number for every space occupied is 1 from my perspective. The reason for this is because I see an irregular object, when measured with volume formula LxWxH, as being a local matrix of 1s occupying every dimensional space as being uniform. The gap would be the space occupied in the measured volume. Picture attached to show what I'm talking about.

Hello all. I haven't formally introduced myself yet until now. Existing Member I came here several years ago, with a mild interest in science. I was searching for something. Then life happened. Education Background I'm a non-scientist and non-mathematician. But I still hold some interests in physics, philosophy, and maybe more fields. My formal education was art. Scientific Experiments and Tools My laboratory and experiments exist only in my head. I try to maximize my imagination or visualization to better approximate my ideas or comprehension of other own ideas. However, I'm now aware these are unreliable. Forum Activity My time is freed up a bit, so I might be more active from time to time and able to learn a thing or two and maybe contribute something useful.

No math or model. I stopped with the ASD theory thing. Thank you and others for patience with this thread.

Properties Maybe yes. It could be density and lacunarity property, and maybe more. A proportional ratio relation between both or more. An attached of cropped screenshot picture to this post is my own produced example of using density, lacunarity, and other properties involved in the process to define a volume in an object (cube) via using the Blender software. It is possible that the properties and other mathematical operators involved in the shown process, could be modified to use volume / density / lacunarity to define not just volume in an object, but also its surface / geometry - for a possible improvement and accuracy with modelling, sculpting, simulation, mapping, etc.

It still a part of my point with previously posted pictures, it merely cementizes my point. I will re-state the point:

See attached picture (a small house of cards):

Ok, let's try forget the termed words, ASD (original) or Life Directionality (revised), for a moment and consider a process that which I am trying to tell about. I have put this post together based on a paper I produced with my own produced examples (my pictures, attached to this post) to define and explain the process. Here goes: Title: Process Theory Subject: Nature, Science, Philosophy Type of Post Content: Theory Summary: How an idea (i.e. abstract) and / or physical matter (i.e. concrete) could be formed, stabilized, or disintegrated by an universal process - an equalization toward an equilibrium and its yielding result. [Note: For a general and simple use of object or more for rest of this, a thing or object is to be labelled as ‘x’, ‘y’, or ‘more’. These x, y, or more refer to generally anything.] Awareness The awareness is as follow: Aware of an event or situation; an observation or detection. Definition: To be aware of an event or situation is to firstly sense something, that may be already known or unknown. Example: Something is being sensed by myself. (See picture 1 of 6) Objectivity The objectivity is as follow: x is x, or x = x Definition: (x) A thing and its belonging possession of part excluding other or another (i.e. same to it), is henceforth recognized (assigned) as an independent thing, an entity, or object. Example: Something is recognized to be a deck of cards by myself. (See picture 2 of 6) Connectivity The connectivity is as follow: x and y or more Definition: A connection between an (x) object and another or other (y) object or more. It may include a correlation, link, relation, or relationship between both or more. Example: All cards shown to be grouped together by myself. (See picture 3 of 6) Condition or Comparison The condition or comparison is as follow: x [*] y or more [*]: equal, greater than, less than, equal or greater, equal or less, not equal Definition: A condition or comparison between an (x) object and another or other (y) object or more according to a value, number, statistics, properties, and / or appearance shape or form (e.g. dimensional sizes). Example: A condition or comparison between three cards by myself. (See picture 4 of 6) Operational Transformation The operational transformation is as follow: x, y, or more [equalize*] between each other to an equilibrium, yielding a result, standard, product, or by-product. This can be seen as a positive outcome, neutral outcome, or negative consequence. [*]: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulus, increment, decrement, creation, construction, modelling, sculpting, typing, writing, texting Definition: An action or interaction between an (x) object and another or other (y) object or more – yielding a result, standard, product, or by-product - as standardization of sort. Example: Three cards constructed (three cards equalize between each other to an equilibrium) as a tent (yielded a result, standard, product, or by-product) by myself. (See picture 5 of 6) Point This defines and explains how an idea (i.e. abstract) or physical matter (i.e. concrete) could be interpreted to be created, formed, emerged, or disintegrated by an equalization toward an equilibrium and its yielding result. The relation and sustainability both may play an important role in that. Example: The tent of cards is disintegrated by myself. (See picture 6 of 6) My Questions a. Is there already a term word for this process? b. If no, what should I call this process? c. Does the process work in the Nature or a natural situation?

The 'something' could be harmonic equilibrium (being balanced and coherence).

I'm now a bit not so sure about that, especially the sum of both or more - the sum notion. I know conditions are there (eg. greater than, less than, etc) and these seemingly or tend to equalize (eg. a direction) to something in order for an equilibrium to occur, as long objects / systems are in relation / relationship between each other or more. The 'something' I said, what is it?

An analogy between life directionality laws and a bit of computer programming, to better understand a bit: A rule. Maybe use logical operators. Form a relation / relationship between variables. Detect, identify, or classify then assign variables with conditions (eg. Greater than, less than, and so on) then perform arithmetic operators until these (variables) equalize to being sum of both or more. Equalized variables. Either an input of command to change the value of a variable or enter a new variable and so on. Maybe this could be used to better understand the fundamental interactions between forces or fields in the universe, especially the relation / relationship between all. See – link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

ASD revised, changed to "Life Directionality" Life Directionality Laws - Definitions: (note: 'x, y, or more' used below refer to objects from at microscopic level such as sub-atomic particles to macroscopic objects / systems such as planets, stars, galaxies, universe, etc or vice versa) and / or people in general) Life Directionality Law 1 of 6 - Directionality: A directional determiner or determining process between x and y or more toward a result. Life Directionality Law 2 of 6 - Connection: For x and y or more to have a type and a level of relation or relationship between both or more, then both or more must establish a connection between both or more. Life Directionality Law 3 of 6 - Conditional Change / Adaption: If either x or y or more to be less or greater than sum of both or more while still maintaining a type and a level of relation / relationship between each other, then both or more must undergo a conditional change process until either or more equalize to being sum of all or adapted. Life Directionality Law 4 of 6 - Equilibrium: If either x or y or more being conditioned to change in any level toward being equalized to sum of all or adapted while still in a type and a level of relation / relationship between each other, then both x and y or more must be equalized to each other or all and therefore are in an equilibrium. Life Directionality Law 5 of 6 - Coherence / Sustainability: For long as x and y or more that are in an equilibrium with each other or all, then x and y or more must be coherent and sustained. Life Directionality Law 6 of 6 - Separation: For x and y or more to discontinue a type and / or a level of connection (eg. relation / relationship) between each other or all, then either, both, or more must cancel upon on and / or by their own directionality with each other or more. Sometimes this can be seen as a different type of 'conditional change' of sort. At least to me, this seems to explain the arrow of time and entropy.

Other discussions Okay. I'll look into other discussions if time permit. Question I have a question: Are the equilibrium states governed by gravity?

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.

Sorry for the long reply. Think of ASD like Kernel used in Linux operating systems, a middle (drivers sort of) between hardware and software. That is kinda the best explanation I can could come up with atm.

ASD seems to sums it up. At least for me, so far. I "see" ASD kinda everywhere, perhaps interpreted to be understood probably for my way. But I thought I could share and contribute it. "Where to begin?" is the question I asked myself, to find an example. 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. But I could find more examples if you want. But though, I'm layman person. 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? Is there such an absolute and singular of entity/object/system that is absolutely independent of 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.

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.

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.

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?

If ASD doesn’t, then maybe could it be used as a conceptual tool to understand any varying degree or type of relationship between objects/systems and another or other objects/systems in terms of real time and situational dependent?

Coherent actualization = makes real and sustained, or sustainability. By knowing that things tend to move toward equilibrium because of coherent actualization as potential reason why, we could use that to indicate which object(s) and / or system(s) that are in a process (forming, bonding, decaying, etc) toward equilibrium or at equilibrium (coherence or sustainability). An example: Heat flows from a hotter to a colder body as long there is a type of relationship being maintained between both [in a progression or "change"], once completed then both are at equilibrium (coherence or sustainability). Understanding sustainability is the key word. Take away a leg (an attribute) from a human being (atom). What do you think will happen? Or Give a superpower (an attribute) to a human being (atom). What do you think will happen? Additional definitions: Less or greater = a quantifiable value or visual / spatial measurement of an attribute, object, or system that is comparable to be less or greater than the sum of both or its parts. Sum of both (or sum of its parts) = An equalize between. Change = Any form of action or process. Level of Speed in Change = From slowest to fastest or instantaneous, or vice versa depending on situation.

Skipped? I didn't. In fact, I already stated why: quote 1: "ASD – Reason why behind ASD "Mechanism" Primary answer: Coherent actualization." quote 2: "I think it is the "ghost mechanism" with much needed name of it own (I used ASD as starting point), the mechanism responsible for the.. say, coherence or framework of reality. It is still kind of bit difficult to say what it is exactly is, but somehow my mind "see" it." quote 3: "If ASD is true, then yes. It must, there is no else way. The action of reaching an equilibrium seems to be the strict law (coherent reason), this means the atom must will undergo change (eg. Possible outcomes such as creation, formation, deformation, decay, etc as situational dependent) in the reaching process toward an equilibrium." Other comment: Coherent actualization seems to be best answer I can could come up with, but there could be some more research and understanding needed to address it.

A stable state could mean atoms reached equilibrium. Equilibrium = stable. Reduce and form = forms of change.

If ASD is true, then yes. It must, there is no else way. The action of reaching an equilibrium seems to be the strict law (coherent reason), this means the atom must will undergo change (eg. Possible outcomes such as creation, formation, deformation, decay, etc as situational dependent) in the reaching process toward an equilibrium.

Maybe does look alike. Generally speaking, A and b refer to any object and potentially any system too. 'Or more' refers to more objects or potentially systems too.
