Add Definition for Object #22

Closed SeverTopan closed 6 years ago

SeverTopan commented 6 years ago

An object being a constituent of Totality. Directly mappable to a Bit String of infinite length in the Vulcan Set.

I would expect an object to be represented by a bit string of finite length.

Another definition: a set of related properties. I'm thinking a property is the result of a measurement or observation.

SeverTopan commented 6 years ago

I liked the idea that a finite bit string could be achieved by applying a filter on top of a infinite bit string (i.e. a filter that ignores all bits past index i). I'm not sure if were quite there yet in terms of our definitions though, since that relates to the concept of a pattern.

So perhaps finite objects could sit on top of infinite ones architecturally?

This was covered in #39. Are we ok to close it?

No objections to closing
