Comparisons

A standalone essay on objectivity, subjectivity, and relativity — an individual perspective on three of the largest words in the vocabulary of knowledge. It represents a genuine stretch of new research for the author, an attempt to think carefully about what it means to compare at all: to hold two things against each other and ask what is fixed, what is felt, and what depends on where one stands. Rather than settle the old quarrel between the objective and the subjective, it treats relativity as the ground both stand on, and works toward a personal understanding earned rather than assumed. It sits among the writing pieces on the Artwork page, but its concerns run straight into the theoretical core of the framework.

It represents a genuine stretch of new research for the author, and it reads as such — an essay working its way toward an earned understanding rather than assuming one. Rather than resolve the ancient quarrel between the objective and the subjective, it treats relativity as the ground both stand on, and its concerns run straight from the Artwork page into the theoretical core of the framework.
