lend itself to formal scienti\ue0c4c proof, its aesthetic elegance <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
indeed emerges as perhaps its key de\ue0c4ning aspect.*\n <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course, aesthetic elegance<\/span>, seemingly subjective, in\n <\/div>\n
reality embraces many clinical components. Pr<\/span>esumably\n <\/div>\n
the metaphysics under examination at-a-minimum passes <\/span><\/div>\n
muster vis \u00e0 vis the litmus test checklist proposed at the <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
very beginning of the appendix section in Appendix
\n A:\n <\/div>\n
Metaphysics Analysis.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Now<\/span>, the human psyche is
\n awesomely complex. But it\n <\/div>\n
ultimately often seeks to boil-down a litmus test
\n checklist\n <\/div>\n
to just one concept. Aesthetic elegance<\/span>
\n presents itself as\n <\/div>\n
a viable candidate in metaphysics.<\/div>\n
