Property is to essence
As integral as to differential;
As Galileo is to Einstein
As I believe is to I know!
Woe to those who hear of that which is "integral" and think it means "important" or vital", rather than that it represents, stands for a concept in calculus:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral
Of like woe is the fate of those who confuse a thing's property with that thing's essential essence http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essence
TRANSLATION:
This week I read a snippet from Galileo Galilei involving "properties and essences."
That same day, I read a snippet from Albert Einstein that spoke of the "integral and the differential."
I sensed , intuited that this was fresh, but did not know how to correlate any of them: Galileo and Einstein ; property and essence; or integral and differential, until now.
I looked up two definitions: integral and essence; realized I was in calculus not social policy nor race relations, I.e. "Integration," and smiled--knowing there surely must be others who also ride along, blithely, neither knowing mode of conveyance nor destination of their apparent ride, due to a lack of exact understanding.
Such has been the case throughout history, where the same or similar words or symbols have widely dissimilar meanings, causing mutual mistake of fact and law!
Such is also the case, when belief is perceived as knowledge; where particular is mistaken for general; and where what is, too often, is confused and is conflated with what it is not.
QUIDDITY means "what it is" in logic. Athletes and musicians are known to say idiomatically: "what it is, is what it is", as though to confound the paradox of it all; to invert a thing's stuff upon itself. So also do scientists, and folks just having fun!
So have we done here in love. In love.
