    does not need guidance.Fooloso4

    I see I misspoke: you said mechanistic but I wrote deterministic. Sorry....not paying proper attention.

    Anyway, agreed, mechanical systems need no guidance. What ground is there or attributing extension to systems, when Descartes in Principles only attributes extension to “corporeal substance”?

    It is not the system that has extension but the things that comprise the system
