Role of Universals, Thought Experiments
(1) The same initial/conditions prevail as in our system (II) The same laws of nature prevail.
Suppose we can communicate with the people of planet X by instantaneous signals. We are told by the people of x that the age of their solar system x is (n-300) years old. According to the following report of the state of their planet and the state of their whole solar system, we find that their description fits the state of our own planet and the rest of our solar system in the year say 1691. The most remarkable feature of X turns out to be that its time is passing twice as quickly as ours and thus when we celebrate the beginning of 1982 they will have already reached 1683 and when we are commemorating the 10th anniversary of our first verbal contact with X they are celebrating the 20th anniversary of some century.
This (GE) experiment will of course confront difficulties due to Russell and Stand-point (views) but we introduced it to understand how flow of time can effect (GE), perhaps not (GE). Can we conclude that (GE) and N(GE) are discontinuous functions of time.

The advent of the 20th century ventures into ancient thinking which could visualize modern ideas of Modern logic. Actually modern logic in the last part of this 20th century has concentrated on formalizing the language of 'symbolic logic' which has used for computers and electronics.
myself have developed a different view of 'Hetero-logic' which can used of Quantum Theories. This is going to be discussed in the last chapter.
Meanwhile at the moment I am going to push forward the ancient schools of thinking mainly' The Dialetic of the (famous Buddhist philosopher) Nagarjuna'
