called "mechanical" as it is defined in [[TERMS|terms]] of distance and [[POSITION|position]]. Mechanical in this sense means interpreting or explaining the phenomena of the [[UNIVERSE|universe]] by referring to causally determined physical forces; mechanistic. A [[BEING|being]] can put [[OUT|out]] objects to view (or [[ANCHOR_POINTS|anchor points]]) and also put out [[POINTS|points]] which will view them, even while the being himself is elsewhere. Thus one can achieve [[SPACE|space]]. "Mechanical" also applies to "[[ACTING|acting]] or performing like a [[MACHINE|machine]]—automatic." Thus a "mechanical definition" would be one which defined in terms of space or location such as "the car [[OVER|over]] by the old oak tree" or "the [[MAN|man]] who lives in the big house." Here "the old oak tree" and "the big house" are fixed objects and the unfixed objects ("car," "man") are a sort of [[VIEWPOINT|viewpoint]]. One has identified things by location.
