REPRESENTATIONAL NON-REALITY

These words are separate to this page,as is the "ink"you see
Meaning is relational(a secret shared like a code between us)
It is also social,and changes like spelling over time
Our relationships are an agreed "reality"which is also non-representational
You can have words without meaning,and with multiple meanings
Poetry at its best has multiple dimensions of interpretation
Philosophy posits conundrums,paradoxes,and plausible impossibilities
Science investigates ,based upon empirical data
Mathematics defines its own relationships/and between numbers
we have worlds that exist below,above,within and outside representational "realities"
Spaces define us more than mass and volume.Divorces more than marriages
Geneologies in Bibles connote incest as well as bride rape and theft
Morality is non-mathematical.We violate rules more than follow
Crime is not defined as non-law-just flouting of existing laws
"Natural"law has divergent meanings in cannibal societies
Revolutions change both laws and the selective policing of same
There is no rational basis for law.Nor for philosophies.
This allows propositions like the above to masquerade as "free"verse
whereas Rousseau is stillborn in chains./Thoreau in Nature
Voltaire in "the best of all possible worlds".All divergent/all different/ALL RISE!
