Isness is Isness

Isness is isness. Reality is a tautology -- it can't be otherwise. If one asks the question "why is there existence?" then one could equally ask "why is there non-existence?"

In other words, in trying to define reality we are asking for a linguistic construct that defines "reality" in a way that transcends the tautological or the infinite-nested-contexts problem. I think that language can't do this -- neither can logic or physics.

What is reality? Look around -- there's your answer. But don't say anything.
