Topic: An attempt at a breakdown of "things".
I cannot easily use words to describe my idea, so I'll use an illustration:
(Sorry, I couldn't help but throw some of my broken Latin in to rev up the mysticism.)
I believe there is a hierarchy that leads to absolute truth. I think this could describe it pretty well. This works similar to a graph of the forms that Uranium takes until it gets to a stable isotope of Lead: Uranium splits into an alpha particle and an isotope of Thorium. That Thorium splits into something else and an alpha particle: one product goes through decay again, and the other becomes irrelevant (I can't show you the graph, because I can't find it, and thus I have no source, so I'm not sure).
Where would the absolute truth be found on the graph above? Could it be where "Things" is? I'm sure that I've left things out, because I could fit a near limitless amount of information under "Things External," like an electron, cat litter, a Kahlua mudslide, a neutronium star, statistics of any said objects... and the definition of "Things Internal" is so damn vague, but... I still think that it's plausible.
The purpose of this train of thought is to find out a bit more about what makes up absolute truth. Study of ourselves and the world around us makes up the study of reality. Study of reality and extrareality together is the study of what can be imagined. We want to combine imaginability with unimaginability, but what could that make? Here's where things start to get weird: How do we imagine the unimaginable?
Look at it this way: A person can look at a hypercube flattened onto 3 dimensions and sort of understand it, but we aren't built with the ability to perceive that fourth dimension; we can only understand it when we adapt it to a way in which we can perceive it. If you live in a 2 dimensional world and see a drawing of a cube, you'd never really get it either. Through proportional logic, I figure that there is another dimension, two magnitudes higher than reality, one in which the imaginable combines with the unimaginable to form another dimension.
If we cannot imagine the unimaginable, how can we imagine a dimension an order of magnitude higher? What could possibly be unimaginable?
This is my question.
