The Paradox of Restriction

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

1. To say reality has no restrictions is to paradoxically place restrictions on it by defining it by what it is not.

2. To say reality has restrictions on it is to paradoxically result in an absence of restrictions as 'restriction' is undefined (as only restrictions exist thus leaving 'restriction' as meaning anything).

1. Defining something is to separate it from other things. Reality is everything that is comprehensible to a mind and not anything beyond that. Actuality is all there is. Recognition of distinction is not contradiction.

2. To say that something is unrestricted means there's no external intentional opposition to it's natural state, not that it's natural state is unbounded.

1. And all that is comprehensible leads to contradiction given one perspective is thetical and this thetical perspective has its antithesis.
2. Without opposition there is no limits as opposition allows for contrast and contrast leads to definition.
