1 General to specific, specific to general – what does it mean?
It is a means to ends, one is theory formation paring down with data, the other is analogy formation placing patterns as something is like this other thing over there.
2 What does "logical" mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view?
It is a process of finding consistency in diverse data, if something makes sense. Fixing and nixing contradictions, or having an eye for it. It is a system of thought, removed from something being absolutely true, it can be true but vacuously true. Logic is local truth.
3 How do you explain fractions on the dial of the clock?
Arbitrary divisions that correspond with planet day light cycles. The pie can be sliced anyway you want it.
4 What is a rule? What rules do you have to follow?
Rules are tantamount to a law, or principle, and it is an order of thought brought from the chaos.
Either you follow, or create new ones. Usually we follow, until pragmatism adds or eliminates.
5 What is hierarchy? Do you need to follow it? Why or why not?
An ordering of life, and we follow it if talent is placed right. In the animal kingdom it creates survival.
With us, people in villages just lead, informally. and if done right, it leads to results. Rank. Smart rises, and the rest follow.
6 What do you think of instructions? Do you use them? Could you write an instruction manual? If so, what type of instruction manual would you most likely write?
Necessary instruments.
I think I'd write whatever it was I was pedaling. Lol.
7 Please explain: "Freedom is in complying with the laws, but not in ignoring the laws"? Do you agree with the statement? Why?
I think we develop trust in complying, and if everyone were honest, it works the best, laws evolve, we feel secure.
8 Tell us how about consistent you are?
I try to be. I'm never late, and I do what I say I will do.
Reliable is my feedback
9 What is a "standard"? Why do people need it?
It is a measure that everyone agrees to, and work into that agreement. It allows for equal transactions, and expectations for security in the end.
10 You need to put your home library in order. How do you feel about this activity? How will you approach this task??
I group it by genre, and put popular in a comfortable view on top shelf. I would be lost otherwise. Lol
