Sometimes I apply the morphism with such force that the composition feels complex.

Well, my mentor taught me a few things too, like how to simplify compositions by introducing a different functor, rather than trying to handle everything directly.

Also they're misleading people about the nature of the 9. See pic related. 9 is the number of consciousness. You can also consider it base consciousness. 999 would be the entire world, physical, aetheric, and soul.

>No, a zero point energy perpetual device spins the ball bearing because of zero point energy, not because of a motor is spinning it, you are the one with the motor fetish who keeps trying to shove motors into the argument.
So your zero point energy device is directly spinning the ball bearing?
Wow.. the act of gaining zero point energy is done by something physically spinning?
wow, thats impressive..

>No, I said that according to your definition, it isn't just one thing that causes the ball to spin, it is a combination of both the input energy and the load, so the "motor" is not just the ball, but the entire perpetual energy device with the zero point energy as the source and the ball as the load.
oh.. so you were just talking shit and your zero point device doesn't directly spin the ball bearing as a function of how it goes about extracting zero point energy..
oh well, then you'll need to take the energy outputted by your free-energy device and use it to power a separate motor.
>The ball in the theoretical device I put forth spins because the ball is exposed to the force of zero point energy, not because of a motor transferring energy to it, you are the one that says if it spins, it is a motor.
whu? so now you are saying that your zero-point energy device needs to rotate in order to be able to extract zero-point energy..

I don't know man, you keep changing the working principles of your zero-point device to make up shit as you go.

>hooked up to a zero point power supply to create a perpetual motion device? A motor would probably be too complex anyway since they tend to deteriorate with time, a simple ball bearing that is kept spinning would be fine.

>your zero point device doesn't directly spin the ball bearing as a function of how it goes about extracting zero point energy..
What? That is the opposite of what I said from the very beginning.
>hooked up to a zero point power supply to create a perpetual motion device

>whu? so now you are saying that your zero-point energy device needs to rotate in order to be able to extract zero-point energy..
No, I said from the beginning you combine the ball with the source and the energy source causes the ball to spin because it is transferring zero point energy from the source, supply, to the load, ball bearing.

>you keep changing the working principles
No, you keep trying to redefine things to fit your motor fetish instead of reading what I actually wrote.
>>
>>16389171
>Yea, nothing has changed from>>16385892
If a device isn't directly causing its own perpetual motion, then that device isn't a perpetual motion device.
>What? That is the opposite of what I said from the very beginning.
oh, so now your zero-point device does spin powering itself by the active zero-point energy it taps into without needing to transfer that energy into a separate motor to get the physical movement..
>No, I said from the beginning you combine the ball with the source and the energy source causes the ball to spin because it is transferring zero point energy from the source, supply, to the load, ball bearing.
oh I see, so all you have is a zero-point device that then uses that energy to power a separate ordinary motor that is itself not a perpetual motion device but is instead just an ordinary motor...
>No, you keep trying to redefine things to fit your motor fetish instead of reading what I actually wrote.
No, you keep defining an ordinary motor that needs to be externally powered as something it isn't.
>>
>>16389179
>If a device isn't directly causing its own perpetual motion, then that device isn't a perpetual motion device.
Doesn't apply to this situation since the perpetual motion device being proposed is made of a source and load that causes its own motion when it transfers energy from the source to the load.

> so now your zero-point device does spin powering itself by the active zero-point energy it taps into without needing to transfer that energy into a separate motor to get the physical movement..
Its been like that all along, you just started calling it a motor since you think anything that moves is a motor, I have been trying to tell you for two days the motor is unnecessary and you keep insisting that if any motion occurs, it is a motor.

> then uses that energy to power a separate ordinary motor
No, there is no motor, energy transfers from the source zero energy supply and causes the small load in the form of a ball bearing to spin continuously, there is no motor unless you want to call that a motor since you think anything that spins is a motor, but it can't handle any more load, the force is negligible and just enough to cause the ball to spin.

>No, you keep defining an ordinary motor that needs to be externally powered as something it isn't.
No, you do, you just did in again in the post I am replying to where I clearly said no motor is involved and you do a bunch of mental gymnastics to insist on some secondary external motor.
>>
>>16389202
>Doesn't apply to this situation since the perpetual motion device being proposed is made of a source and load that causes its own motion when it transfers energy from the source to the load.
NO, you didn't invent a perpetual motion device.
You invented a zero-point free energy device.
You get credited for inventing a zero-point free energy device; you don't credit for something you didn't do.
The credit for inventing a perpetual-motion device goes to somebody who invented a device that doesn't need to fed generated energy to a separate motor.
You're just a conman trying to steal someone else's achievement.
>Its been like that all along, you just started calling it a motor since you anything that moves is motor, I been trying to tell you for two days motor is unnecessary and you keep insisting that if any motion occurs, it motor.
yes, a device that causes cyclical motion is called "a motor".
>No, there is no motor, energy transfers from the source zero energy supply and causes the small load in the form of a ball bearing to spin continuously, there is no motor unless you want to call that a motor since you think anything that spins is a motor, but it can't handle any more load, the force is negligible and just enough to cause the ball to spin.
oh I see, so now you're back to claiming your specific zero-point device needs to cause itself to spin as that's how it functions.
>No, you do, you just did in again in the post I am replying to where I clearly said no motor is involved and you do a bunch of mental gymnastics to insist on some secondary external motor.
oh I see, so now you're back to claiming your specific zero-point device needs to cause itself to spin as that's how it functions...

I don't know man, you keep saying your zero-point free-energy device spins itself, then you say that it itself has no spin and will need to have the power it generates transferred to a separate motor that is responsible for making a physical object move cyclically.
