Minute Particulars

It may be the case that expansive thinking is aided by thought in words. While one would expect that the act of delimiting boundless experience to a set of signs would demean and skew it—it seems instead that any experience is mediated still further through the general culture-norm of the present day. Translation into the realm of words, each of which is a particular with a valence and a history, forces choices in the perception of the real field—this is an opportunity to establish wider clarity and definition. This need not be single clarity or a single definition—it need not establish a precise relation—instead,it fosters awareness of the consistency of precise and real relations—though particulars fluctuate, they always will remain particular and bounded.
