First, great work b_b, I enjoyed reading this and appreciated the thought that went behind the title/theme for your opus. When reading about our reliance on familiarity with pre-defined concepts in order to frame truth I was reminded of a conversation I had years ago with you, mk. You mentioned a potential experiment where everyone would change a definition that you knew as "true". I think you framed it as your name. "What if everyone around you, EVERYONE suddenly began referring to you as "Frank"? How would that challenge "truth"? Something along those lines. I recall you being very interested in definitions and how they can inform our reality and how quickly they could potentially collapse it. Cool stuff.
