judging that none is acceptable : see @ 60.vetting_their_explanantia.notes.brec feasiblity? what are my prospects for refuting P? what for asserting Q? P: Hardly could we living noons|cogitants be here absent the cosmic speed limit on causation. Q: Easily could we living noons|cogitants be here absent the cosmic speed limit on causation. if( P ) then - design might suffice (to explain the safehold) - known rivals (OS, ME) might suffice else if( Q ) then - design might suffice † known rivals (OS, ME) would not suffice else - unsure, maybe a toss up ?+ Does anyone claim P? Cite any sources that I may read them. I aim to refute them. : see https://gemini.google.com/app/4ab49ea749b4276c : § Immunity from Singularities Limit presence is necessary for that. : see https://gemini.google.com/app/66a05730b0178d25 : ¶ Consider then the notion of fine-tuning for a speed limit Limit presence is necessary ∵ ‘the speed of light (*c*) … is a fundamental "gear" in the machinery of all physical laws.’ \ § Fine-Tuning the Value (*c*) \ Limit value *c* is necessary for: element fusion in stars, \ also for atomic stability. \\ such value-based claims are likely easier to refute \\ than the ontological (presence-based) claims § Protection of Causality {PC cf. PDS} Limit presence is necessary for ‘the stable, predictable environments required for biological evolution.’ § Locality {PL cf. GSSL} Limit presence is necessary ‘for isolated systems (like a solar system) to develop order without being constantly buffeted by every other event in the cosmos.’ : see https://gemini.google.com/app/a15855dddec6eca0 : § Preservation of Determinism and Sequence {PDS cf. PC} Limit presence is necessary for that. § Geometric Structure of Spacetime and Locality {GSSL cf. PL} Limit presence is necessary for that. \ § The Luminosity Argument: Fine-Tuning for Stellar Stability \ ‘Beyond the ontological requirement for a finite limit … \ the particular value… 300,000 km/s … is essential \ for the existence of stable, life-supporting stars.’ \ § Relativistic Biochemistry and the Atomic Scale \\ (again) such value-based claims are (I expect) relatively easy to refute ?+ What of critics? Cite them, too.
