In metaphysics, Bare particular is what a substance is called when considered independently of its properties. It seems that substance theories are committed to the existence of bare particulars. But, the critic maintains, the very notion of a thing with no properties is absurd. We just cannot conceive of a thing without any properties. John Locke is famous for describing a substance as "a something, I know not what." It seems that as soon as we get the fuzziest notion of a thing in mind, we are thinking of some property or other. The problem is not just that it is physically impossible that we might stumble across a bare particular, or a propertyless thing on our strolls about town. The point is that the very notion of a propertyless thing is strange: we just have no such notion, and perhaps cannot have such a notion. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bare particular"

A biophoton (from the Greek βιο meaning "life" and φωτο meaning "light") is a photon of light emitted in some fashion from a biological system. From a scientific point of view, there is no difference between such a photon and a photon emitted by any other physical process. One might then argue that it is more correct to attach the attribute biological to the emission process, as in bioluminescence, because no specific biologicalness can be attributed to the photons themselves, once they are emitted. ...more on Wikipedia about "Biophoton"

The philosophical concept of causality or causation refers to the set of all particular "causal" or "cause-and-effect" relations. A neutral definition is notoriously hard to provide since every aspect of causation has received substantial debate. Most generally, causation is a relationship that holds between events, objects, variables, or states of affairs. It is usually presumed that the cause chronologically precedes the effect. Finally, the existence of a causal relationship generally suggests that - all other things being equal - if the cause occurs the effect will as well (or at least the probability of the effect occurring will increase). ...more on Wikipedia about "Causality"
Chaos derives from the Greek Χάος and typically refers to unpredictability. In the metaphysical sense, it is the opposite of Law and Order: unrestrictive, both creative and destructive. ...more on Wikipedia about "Chaos"
The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe or CTMU (pronounced "cat-mew") is a theory of the relationship between mind and reality. Created in the mid-1980s by blue-collar cosmologist Christopher Michael Langan, the CTMU rose to media attention in 1999, buoyed by interest in Langan's extraordinarily high IQ. Among Langan's claims for the theory are that it constitutes absolute truth, provides the logical framework of a Theory of Everything, and proves the existence of God. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe"

No mysterious miracles or wholly random events occur. If there has been even one indeterministic event since the beginning of time, then determinism is false. ...more on Wikipedia about "Determinism"
Dialectical monism is an ontological position which holds that reality is ultimately a unified whole, distinguishing itself from monism by asserting that this whole necessarily expresses itself in dualistic terms. For the dialectical monist, the essential unity is that of complementary polarities which, while opposed in the realm of experience and perception, are co-substantial in a transcendent sense. In simpler terms, the view can be summarized thus: "All in two, two in one, one in All." ...more on Wikipedia about "Dialectical monism"
