You're lucky we can't downvote anymore, because in the past you'd certainly get them

You assume, then, that a vote is a "like" ?

Perhaps asking for up-votes would have been as if I was begging to get reputation points.

I also received a "spam" flag on this one, so I might be going on an hourly vacation soon.

There's a place for people who'll post any kind of crap just to get 'likes'.
It's called Facebook.

There is a type of empty thinking in which a word is defined by using an inflected form of itself.
I believe that this is called a "Circular Definition" (anybody correct me).
There is a word (maybe it's a phrase) which means exactly the opposite of that.
I thought the word was "empirical" but after checking three dictionaries, looks like I'm wrong.
What is the word (or phrase) which means the opposite of "Circular Definition" ?

If the word is inflected then it is more likely to be a tautology wikityclickety[^]. Although the difference is so subtle that I may be splitting hairs here.

I would just use the words "valid definition" - as my understanding is that, logically, it is only possible to prove an argument/definition as incorrect, which is why there may not be(to my knowledge) a term for a correct argument.

The lexicographic definition is given here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_definition[^]. It is also called a "recursive definition": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definition[^].
What do you mean exactly by:
which means exactly the opposite of that , a "non-recursive definition"?

I think the noun "definition," appears to mean, in, and of, itself, that "definition" is not self-referential.
But, that meaning may disappear when I do not think about the meaning of "definition," or vary when I use, or hear, or see, the word with other words.
The most satisfying conversation I ever had consisted (entirely) of the other person saying the word, "definition," to which I replied, "definition," after which, we both committed suicide because we both knew it would never be as good as this, again.
Well, "empirical:" that's a religion, and we can't go there in the Lounge.

It is possible for an imperial definition to be based on empirical evidence, but it's not likely.
Similarly, it is possible for empirical evidence to be backed by imperial authority, but again it's not likely.
