truth can never fully happen

something in the clouds stops its becoming

the other will have a cutoff that might let us only guess its true being!

let us set:

  • time, as the "breadth" (x)
  • muchness of the unknown, as the "height" (y)
  • our knowledge of the other, as the "bending" (y=f(x))

having forever to learn

as time stretches to forever:

  • the unknown becomes almost nothing
  • it never truly becomes nothing
    • some other-ness always "sticks around"
  • we don't know why the bending only nears, but never reaches, the "line of the same"
    • the other can never become the same
  • the cutoff can also shift away
    • even if the bending does somehow cut through the "y-as-0 cutoff", the cutoff could then shift to, say, "y-as-1-below"
    • the bending would then need to further lessen the unknown
    • reaching "y-as-1-below" would still not mean "knowing"
      • the cutoff also has its way of shifting further down

taking it as a given?

even for "truths" such as "2 + 2 = 4":

  • some don't care for this "truth"
  • others write "2 + 2 = 4" with other tokens
    • the tokens "2 + 2 = 4" mean nothing to them
  • yet, others live on another realm
    • "2 + 2" does not always mean "4"
    • even in some settings for us, "2 + 2 = 1", e.g.:
      • 2 sticks of clay can come together with another 2 sticks
      • they would then make 1 big clump of clay (not 4)

if we think about the "edge settings" of our own world

the "full truths" that we take as given break up (?)
