Precise means there is one and only one answer to the question. I can give the meaning precisely in 16 words. The gist in seven words, the essential meaning in ten words. People in religious or psychological matters who think there's only one definition of anything are amusing to watch in action. :-| (I'm not sure I've ever been attacked for a post previous to posting it, before). |

btw, I find no dictionary definition of the word "precise" to mean "there is one and only one answer to the question". Where did you get this definition of "precise"? It seems to be a false one. For example, every quadratic equation can be precisely solved, but there are two answers in that solution.

No, precise doesn't mean precise. That's a meaningless tautology. You still haven't defined precise, you've only given examples that don't apply to the issue in question. I want an actual definition of precise that I can apply to the definition of "identification", which is the OP. It sounds like you don't have one. Why am I not surprised? . I can give the meaning precisely in 16 words. The gist in seven words, the essential meaning in ten words. "Remind me to explain context anytime soon." (Enigma) |

and you are defining it imprecisely precise prɪˈsʌɪs/ adjective adjective: precise marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail. "precise directions" synonyms: exact, accurate, correct, error-free, pinpoint, specific, detailed, explicit, clear-cut, unambiguous, meticulous, close, strict, definite, particular, express; More minute, faithful; inch-perfect "precise measurements" antonyms: imprecise, inaccurate (of a person) exact, accurate, and careful about details. "the director was precise with his camera positions" synonyms: meticulous, careful, exact, scrupulous, punctilious, conscientious, particular, exacting, methodical, strict, rigorous; More mathematical, scientific "the attention to detail is very precise" antonyms: loose, careless used to emphasize that one is referring to an exact and particular thing. "at that precise moment the car stopped" synonyms: exact, particular, very, specific, actual, distinct "at that precise moment the car stopped" |

"at that precise moment the car stopped" synonyms: exact, particular, very, specific, actual, distinct "at that precise moment the car stopped" Yes, all that is what I mean by precise ( especially, clue: "the attention to detail Is very precise"). Identification has a precise meaning. |

contraction of the infinite self into a form, name, substance, or point And this is what is referred to as I Am? Is I Am possible without some object? Even I Am That, where That is nothing distinct from anything else...isn't this a form of identification? |

On the OP: identification is when "I" is thought. It doesn't matter what follows -- could be anything or nothing or both...

Even I Am That, where That is nothing distinct from anything else...isn't this a form of identification? For myself, the I Am is NOT identified. I Am is NOT a state of identification. I Am is not something we ordinarily have (Are). I Am isn't, for the ordinary person. I Am is, yes, possible without an object. Franklin Merrill-Wolfe called It, consciousness without an object. If you are identified, you are not-in I Am. Concerning the conradg post, no, that is NOT I Am. Opposite of I Am. Identification is a contraction. |
