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

With our heavy reliance on truth, how can we keep as meaningful our statements, yet see truth as merely a phenomenon? We've described assertions with naming, or taking together. Here we look at "not".

We will look here at another view of distinction, one that doesn't grapple with contradiction, by removing the primacy of truth and falsity. The fundamental element of this view is naming.

Is accepting contradiction as actual possible. It is not obvious. It sounds wrong, by definition. How could so much history pass with so much being missed?
