Quantity is the quantified parts of a thing, plus location and coordination [Olivi]
|
|
Full Idea:
Quantity refers to nothing other than the parts of the thing quantified, together with their location or position, being extrinsically coordinated with each other.
|
|
From:
Peter John Olivi (Treatise on Quantity [1286], f. 49vb), quoted by Robert Pasnau - Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 14.1
|
|
A reaction:
I'm not sure I understand 'extrinsically'. Is there some external stretching force? God spends his time spreading out his stuff? It is nice that being spread out isn't taken for granted. We take much more for granted than they did. Motion, for example.

Good strategies avoid conflict, respond to hostility, forgive, and are clear [Axelrod]
|
|
Full Idea:
Successful game strategies avoid unnecessary conflict, are provoked by an uncalled for defection, forgive after a provocation, and behave clearly so the other player can adapt.
|
|
From:
Robert Axelrod (The Evolution of Co-Operation [1984], 1)
|
|
A reaction:
[compressed] Exactly what you would expect from a nice but successful school teacher. The strategies for success in these games is the same as the rules for educating a person into cooperative behaviour. TIT FOR TAT does all these.
