Day 177 - Does Anything Truly Exist? Does Nothing Truly Exist?

My mind falters for a moment, my senses suddenly shifting to something entirely alien.

Can I describe the lights? The sounds? The world in which I find myself?

...could it ever be accurate?

A symbol is etched into the ground, and two people stand above it. One calls out "It's a 6" while the other rebuts "No, it's a 9", seemingly ignoring the arrangement of matter is infinitely more than either of those labels given to it.

The atoms - at least, that's what we observe - are made up of various identifiable arrangements. Carbon, iron, perhaps some water that's yet to have dried from the sun.

The protons, the electrons, the quarks. Where does it stop? Where does it start?

Is that all they are? Or is there no way to experience the way that they're a dinglere? An elevouse? A million other names for a million other perspectives of the same phenomenon?

What's real? What's not? Could we ever know all the ways something can be perceived? Could we ever comprehend even the most infinitesimal number of perceptions of what something is?

Are we doomed to only ever see the 6 and the 9?

...even the words themselves are limiting. Perhaps it isn't something we could ever comprehend...but

Even if I can't comprehend it, it doesn't stop me from contemplating it.

#miscellaneous #year 4 #writing #philosophy #Aside from the inherent nature of using a structure to convey something being extremely limiting #I'm not sure how best to explain this in a way another human might understand what I mean #Since I'm not referring to an atom having many different perspectives.. but rather #What we call reality is only such from our point of view and ''biological'' experiencing #The region where that 6/9 may have laid might be a parking lot from a different experiencial perspective or a material we can't conceive of #And they're all in that same spot. It's existing...well.. simultaneously isn't accurate since they're not overlapping per se #They're literally already all there and are the same components. They're just perceived differently #It's an absolutely fascinating perspective but it's also making me feel like nothing genuinely matters #Not in a depressing way.. but in a ''What we call reality is just the perspective we're limited to'' kind of way #But yeah. Philosophy and ponderings~
