Quote:When we relate that to a person within our perception of "our world" we can also include our percetption of the credibility and reputation, physical ques as to trustworthiness and mannerisms. Also the fact they're in the time space of "our wolrd" (meaning near enough to us physically to interact and currently have an ability [alive] to interact) fixes the point of reference and allows us to compare values of multiple individuals.
Is that about where we are?
I think that's indeed a good summation of 'where we are'

"Core components" being carbon and the like?
Why break it down so far? I can sell it macroscopically for much, much more

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
