Don't everybody jump in at once!

Say, perhaps you didn't quite get the concept... NO State Project. We don't worship any thuggish tyrants here.

So... good luck with that. :winkwink:

{edit} Oh. OOOoooops. You meant "bama" as in "Ala," not "O," didn't you? Never mind.

ya i got the concept.......A concept (abstract term: conception) is a cognitive unit of meaning—an abstract idea or a mental symbol sometimes defined as a "unit of knowledge," built from other units which act as a concept's characteristics. A concept is typically associated with a corresponding representation in a language or symbology[citation needed] such as a single meaning of a term.

There are prevailing theories in contemporary philosophy which attempt to explain the nature of concepts. The representational theory of mind proposes that concepts are mental representations, while the semantic theory of concepts (originating with Frege's distinction between concept and object) holds that they are abstract objects.[1] Ideas are taken to be concepts, although abstract concepts do not necessarily appear to the mind as images as some ideas do.[2] Many philosophers consider concepts to be a fundamental ontological category of being.

The meaning of "concept" is explored in mainstream cognitive science, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. The term "concept" is traced back to 1554–60 (latin conceptum - "something conceived"),[citation needed] but what is today termed "the classical theory of concepts" is the theory of Aristotle on the definition of terms.[citation needed]

now...if you have something constructive to direct twards me that will be fine

Btw, regarding your second post (on "concepts"), was that mostly a copy+paste from anotable, thus quotable source (e.g. Wikipedia, etc)? [the inclusion of several "[citation needed]" lends me to speculate so]
If so I'd value and appreciate the crediting via the inclusion of some notation of that, to aid in communication. [the simplest way being to use the "Quote" feature given as a button in the Post toolbar [see example results below]. Or to at least set it apart somehow (like to type "quote"..."/endquote" or sumpin'; let me know if I could assist further; be glad to~]

Thanks & again, welcome a'board "neighbor". :wacky:
