Discussing philosophy with some folk here seems the best argument for solipsism i know of.

I'd think consistency is a form of persistency... consistent meaning persisistant in remaining the same as far as I know. The difference between the two forms of truth you stated is way too vague for me to work with I'm affraid.

I tried it just now and its working. If you're still having difficulty perhaps if I put it in a PM?

Cheers, John

Yes, I see consistent truth could be seen as a subset of persistent. How would you answer the two questions I posed ""Does 2+2=4 even when nobody's thinking it?" and "Did 2+2=4 before the invention of decimal arithmetic?".

Cheers. John
