Quote: A friend of mine said
Anything that represents something can NEVER be the thing it is representing...
There is a limit to how "accurately" you can model something, and if you want to have a "true model" you must have the phenomena in front of you doing what it does.
This comes from the fact that any representation cannot be composed out of the same components as the natural phenomena, or else it would be the natural phenomena it self.
This sheds light on what philosophy seems to be, at least light that enters my eye..
Philosophy is an elongation of conceptual fields, which elongate by liberty of fragmentation into a multidimensional compartmentalization. This fragmentation takes place during any transference of information. Upon transfer the difference between the expressed structure and the receptive structure causes a fragmentation which is the adaptation of the receptive structure by the imparted information within the expressed structure.

Such a naughty friend too - he has elongated his vocabulary by using my terminologies, but that's okay. In the end we are the sum total of our doings and we will be faced by those doings at the moment of our death. Or is it our death in every moment that we live, that faces us with what we do?
