There's more to be said, but for now, thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you around, distinguished ladies and gentlemen.

Resolving all reality as distinction, we must find meaning and consequence within the one principle of distinction. We observe here that the diversity of a thing being both arbitrary and fixed is in fact the essence of meaning.

In this entry we carry out an experiment in inspecting distinction.

In this entry we return to the view of life as naming. Having indicated some tools in the exploration of other views in this series, we can now employ them in characterizing naming by showing the relation of naming to these other views.

We've proposed embracing conflict--something we wish to consider with care. One doesn't accept unwanted imposition when not forced to. We here consider what care we can take, looking at our engagement in coercion.

In present wings we externalize our internally produced reality to investigate the nature of knowledge, cause-effect and the mind-body problem.

We consider choice and the distinction between the internal and external world from the views of distinction as naming and as contradiction.

We consider here the thesis that the impossibility of life is what gives life possibility.

Are we, as individuals, alone in the universe? For some, first appearances of life as distinction leave us as the only one accountable for the state of affairs. For some this theory doesn't resolve conflict, it creates it.

Just how strong are we? How free? Can we overcome the limitations on us? We might be tempted to consider all impositions as being of our own making. This would secure for us triumph over all our conflicts, complete freedom.

Is magic real? Being defined as the supernatural, it clearly is not natural, and so no, it is not real. But with contradictions present in so many very real distinctions in our lives, we might expect the magical to be present in a very real sense.

Strength--we desire it. It enhances our virtuosity. It enables us to achieve other of our desires, or fend off other impositions on us.

Life is a contradiction. And this isn't bad, this is explanatory. Understanding this allows us to overcome the biggest contradiction in each of our lives: conflict.
