Reality is change

(Before It's News)

Reality is change. It means that our discussion on reality is restricted to model change or change.

Modeling change is ambiguous, because there are always at least two (opposite) aspects to comprehend reality.

Changing consiststs of a search for a single truth between these two (opposite) aspects to comprehend reality, like cladistics and particle physics, because there is no truth to be found in change, except change.

The hole of change (ie, the search for a truth) that cladistics and particle physics fall into was described by Bertrand Russell in 1901, called Russell’s paradox. Change can thus be understood as an infinite rotation in a paradox, which we can understand as an orthogonal circularity.

Attempts to understand reality has always been split into two opposite approaches: nominalism (aka objectivity) and class-realism (aka subjectivity). whereof nominalism models reality and class-realism searches for a truth between the two (opposite) aspects to comprehend reality. It means that objectivity is ambiguous and class-realism is change. However, the fact that ambiguity may appear as change by its indecisiveness means that it may be conflated with class-realism, but the difference between them is that objectivity properly applied closes up on the truth, whereas class-realism consistently runs into the ditch of some paradox, like “the true tree of life” and “Higgs particle”.

The problem for us that attempt to understand reality is thus to understand that reality can’t be understood unambiguously because it is change. We have to understand that our only possibility of understanding is in the form of kinds of kinds, like the Linnean genera of species. We have to understand that there simply isn’t any truth between kinds of kinds to be found, because reality is change.

In biological systematics, this understanding is applied in the form of the approach that is called Evolutionary taxonomy (see Simpson and Ashlock)
