Folk psychology argument

This argument is that it is obivious that I only experience the consciousness that I am experiencing now. Thus all other consciousnesses are not me. It also appears linear.

An example of a perspective argument is the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It seems very obivious that the sun travels around the earth. Many people still believe this. With good reason we do not feel the motion of the earth we do not see the motion of the earth we do not see the earth being round the earth is large the sun looks small. Gravity goes down not up. There is no strong winds from one direction.

We are not singular, individual, and linear, it just appears with our limited knowledge that we are.

Logical necessity (impossibility) argument

It is a logical necessity that there is singularity (not multiplicity) and individuality (discreteness not a continuum) thus no amount of experimentation can prove other wise any efforts to do so are futile. Examples of a considered logical necessities: 2 plus 2 equals four, no square circles exists. Every logical necessity that is imagined can be achived by creating a list of positive controling factors. For instance a square circle a circle has a radius where every point is the same distance from the center now visualize a square and imagine measuring the distance from the center point. We can imagine every distance having the same measurement. This simply could be a property of this particular space. Another example on the outside it has the properies of a square-- it has straight lines equal length lines joined by 90 degree angles at the corners. Inside it has all the properties of a circle

The brain creates the reality that we experience. The reality that we experience appears to be incomplete.

2 + 2 = 11 in base 3 2 cups of water plus 2 cups of alchol equals less than that four cups 2 apples plus 2 oranges does not equal 4 oranges or 4 apples or 4 apple /oranges

It is not a logical necessity that we are singular and individual.
