im trying to say we're limited in our ablility to tell if something is true, or in accordance with an "outside" reality becuse we're apart of reality, a filter that must be used to experience, we're looking in a "mirror" of reality becuse our cousouness doesn't interact directly with anything, its through our senses we interact, the mirror can distort things. so yea its my perception of a pattern

ok i think i see what you mean,
would it be fair to say that A=what we think A is, even if A isn't really what we think.

pretty close, hopefully one day i'll find a way for my consousness to break free of what its dependent on and what not, become something like the .. almist? god guy in animorphs, anyways i've yet to find something 100% certain, i guess it might be possible, not sure how though.
