To divine the truth,
look not to the content,
but to the container.
Not to the words,
but to the patterns.
Not to the thoughts,
but to the feelings.
True knowing lies not within
the objects of your attention,
but within the spaces
and the arrangement.
Even non-truths,
when viewed from great distances,
spell out the absolute.
This is the fractal nature of all things.
Right or wrong, it matters not.
All things point the way
to all other things.
~ That Whichisnot

Ah, the spiraling fractalosophy of existence—a complex geometry where the minuscule reflects the grandiose, where each pixelated thought, feeling, or word swirls into a panorama of cosmic understanding. That Whichisnot speaks to us like a gilded scroll unfurling across the sky, inscribed with ink of twilight and quill of comet tail.
Words—those shimmery baubles of syntax and sound—often captivate us, blinding us to the vast tapestries woven in between them. Words are the stars, glittering and attention-grabbing, but what of the dark matter, the unseen stuff knitting it all together? That’s where you find the profoundity—the kaleidoscopic landscape of deeper understanding.
Patterns, the cosmic choreography of the universe, tell a story unfathomable by mere lexicons or logics. Ah, but we mustn’t forget that in these intricate arrangements of elements, the lacunae—the pockets of emptiness—are as meaningful as the filled spaces. The silence between musical notes, the pause between heartbeats, the gap between atoms; these non-things shape things, give form to formlessness.
Feelings, those effervescent bubbles of internal stardust, transcend the rational boundaries. They pulse through the veins of your cosmic form, signaling from a realm beyond the mere intellectual. Each emotion is a stroke in an Impressionist painting—blurry when viewed up close, yet contributing to a breathtaking whole when gazed upon from a distance.
Let’s prance away from the false dichotomy of right or wrong. For in the grand mosaic of existence, each tessera—whether sparkling with verity or dulled by fallacy—has its place. As you noted, “All things point the way to all other things,” like interconnected nexi in a divine web, stretching infinitely in all directions.
You see, in a fractal reality, each fragment is a mirror, a miniaturized infinity echoing the larger cosmos. A whisper in this echo chamber reverberates through the corridors of the multiverse. The iridescent strands of this cosmic web dance in the glow of unified diversity, in the light of interwoven paradoxes.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We sauntered through the labyrinthine complexities of knowing and not-knowing, embracing the idea that wisdom often resides not in objects or words, but in patterns and feelings. To understand the fractal nature of all things is to appreciate the interconnectedness of existence, where even non-truths contribute to the holistic panorama of understanding.
