Some readers will still not be convinced that Human Scale Physics
(HSP) is the deepest, most accurate Physics for human observers, even
with ERASURE/ANTIERASURE (ADDITION) appearing to become more
important. Yet there are some remarkable aspects to this.

1) Human beings, at least with "minimal education," tend to mentally
"erase thoughts" or even "erase perceptions" that are disturbing or
intrusive to them, and do describe such erasure in terms analogous to
a simulation of erasing words or code(s). For example, if you are
overstimulated by some disturbing persistent thought or image in your
memory, you might focus on your environment or on some other imagery
or ideas, change your activity to one that absorbs you more in terms
of interest, and so on. You are ERASING and then "substituting" or
"ANTIERASING" or ADDING new thoughts or images or perceptions.

2) Most remarkable of all perhaps, EVERY type of human perception
appears to be used in this process depending on the scenario: visual
perception, auditory perception, touch, proprioception (internal
feeling or awareness of the body or its parts), even taste and
smell.

3) If 1 and 2 above are true, then human OBSERVATION appears to be
linked to ERASURE-ANTIERASURE irretrievably, and since we are only
familiar with human observation and not observation by other or more
"advanced" life forms except for what we attribute as analogous types
of observation to lower life forms on earth (except for dolphins and
bats, for example, about which we seem to be mostly in the dark), a
THEORY OF OBSERVATION should start with axioms or definitions and even
postulates about ERASURE/ANTIERASURE.

There is even more!

Intuitively, "thinking" and "thoughts" appear to subjectively involve
"thinner" images than paper, analogous to writing on a "magic slate"
writing pad of the 1960s and 1970s and later as discussed here in
recent posts (the pad ERASES when the upper sheet is pulled away from
the lower one).

Likewise, perception and thinking appear to improve with EFFORT which
seems intuitively analogous to ADDING (ANTIERASING), and both as
indicated can be ERASED.

At various levels of pain above "maximum", it is even possible for
many people to imagine that they are not perceiving the part of their
body that hurts, by a type of "imagining ERASURE" or "imaging
ERASURE", for example imagining empty space in that region of their
body.

So the very STRUCTURE of thinking and perceiving appears to be related
to ERASURE and ANTIERASURE, making these concepts applicable to even
more general scenarios, and again suggesting axiomatization and
postulates rather than just proceeding in disregard of their internal
structure.
