न, तद्गुणत्वाद् बुद्ध्यादीनाम्॥
na, tadguṇatvād buddhyādīnām.
Gautama replies: That is impossible, because memory and intelligence are active properties, and properties cannot float around independently—they must belong to a permanent substance entity.
Thoughts and memories can float around the nervous system completely detached from a central identity.
Data streams require a stable database. Memories are properties that must be anchored to a persistent core node.
COGNITIVE PHILOSOPHY RUNTIME
Attribute/Substance structural rule. Class properties cannot execute in mid-air; they must be bound to a persistent entity container to prevent compilation errors.
HISTORICAL COMMENTARY ANALYSIS
Gautama applies substance-attribute logic. You can't have the color blue floating in mid-air without a physical object (like a blue cloth or blue ball) to hold it. Similarly, you can't have memories floating in space without a permanent mental substance entity (*Dravya*) to retain them. That permanent substance is the Self.
