RBF Definitions
“You come then to the very extraordinary mystery of what is life. For instance, it does seem to manifest me, physical abstractions. The principles themselves could not be principles in having beginnings and endings; they are inherently eternal. We have discovered a number of principles operating in Universe none of which contradict the others, and all of which are interaccommodative. So that there is such an integrity of interaccommodation in these eternal, weightless abstract principles. . . Something which can only be discovered by intellect and it apparently implies an a priori intellect, because you discover the reliabilities. This is all that I mean by an a priori intellect, testing the validity of its principles, that it invents a game called ‘life’ where part of the principles are that there are no straight lines, only waves. It would be a fantastic kind of a game, like chess, where it’s not just in a plane but omnidirectionally played and it can double back on itself, where every move has six moves. There are six parts to every move. And if you are playing it at a different frequency from the other moves, then”
