POETICKS

Definition of reality: all combinations of matter (i.e., that which can be directly sensually perceived by human beings) for which some definition obtains that will specify the thing defined to at least 99.99% of those to whom it is told.

Definition of truth: any statement that describes reality without contradicting standard logic, or  any definition of a portion of reality that at least 99.99% of those knowing it agree on, or including anything  supernatural, which 99.99% of those with at least ten years experience in the field involved accept as 99.99% certain of being valid.

There is also possible truth, which is a statement satisfying all the requirements of truth except that fewer than 99.99% of those with at least ten years experience in the field involved accept as 99.99% certain of being valid.

Definition of error:  any statement that describes reality but contradicts either standard logic, or some definition of a portion of reality that at least 99.99% of those knowing it agree on.

Metaphysics is any statement that describes reality without contradicting standard logic, or  any definition of a portion of reality that at least 99.99% of those knowing it agree on, and includes something  supernatural.
