PURPOSE:
I  have continually said and say again that "purpose" is an existential
modality of the hewer not the hewed - the hammerer not the hammer  - so I am
NOT and have NEVER denied that "purpose,"  does not exist as an existential
modality of mankind.

CAUSALITY:
I  have steadily maintained for years on this list that I conceive and accept
that "causality" is  the way in which we describe that  event or those
events, or series of actions, or  existential modalities, of the billiard
player,  the  "effect" of  which, is the collision of one or more balls with
one or more other balls.


COLOUR:
As for colour, I accept "colour" as the human apprehension [existential
modality]  of that which results as a product of the transaction of the human
sensual apparatus with the incoming data of an exterior entity.

touché!


Try again old boy!
