Distinction and Relation

I think that pretty much covers the dynamics of the nature of reality. :sherlock:

What distinguishes distinction from relation, and what relation does relation have with distinction?

So fireworks. let me ask a question if you will.


Are distinction and relation two seperate things or just two aspects of a whole? Similar to head and tails on a coin.

Thank you,

Have a nice day.

Distinction refers to the notion that reality, as it might seem to be, is comprised of all sorts of elements which have a distinct identity, of which other elements cannot share as their own.
Relation refers to the notion that each of these elements exist in a state of constant interaction with the other elements which comprise reality, and that each of their existence could not be without the presence of, and interaction with, the other elements.

The description of that which was referred to as relation describes well enough the response to your second question.

I don't think that they are separate things, in that they can't be defined, or seemingly manifest, separately. :shrug2:

"is comprised of all sorts of elements which have a distinct identity"

How many elements are there if all have a distinct identity? How big are they?

"Relation refers to the notion that each of these elements exist in a state of constant interaction with the other elements which comprise reality, and that each of their existence could not be without the presence of, and interaction with, the other elements."

Same question, how many are there, and how big are they?

"I'm not in a position to quantify this."

Then how do you know there are really elements (plural) at all?

"It's relative."

So some are bigger than others? How do they stay different sizes?

Distinction. A cat is not a chair. Distinguishing that points towards more than one element.

It's a matter of perspective. Due to relation. :wink:
