I counter.... All things have hard and fast edges, and that is why they are the specific being which things are. What that which has been identified as a 'thing' "really is"... perhaps it is everything, or it's all in (y)our head(s), or butterflies of blugimre garventury!
Is everything really interconnected? I thought it was a whole solid mass of maybes, of empty fullness, and of eternal somethingness.
I don't know what you mean, because I know too many ways I could know what you mean. Maybe you only mean one, or perhaps all, might even be a statement in jest alone!
But, if we're chittering on about our intersubjective understanding of this assumed universe based on presumptuous scientific principles... that's where I start having opinions and saying anything of substance.
Maybe!
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
