ABSTRACT

As the sole conditional limit of reality, appearing is not a theoretical requirement imposed on an external world but, rather, a definer of metaphysical scope concerned with the protagonist of human experience, namely the sentient agent, the individual-in-togetherness. Communication is intimately linked to the experience of sharing, an event attuned to the Crucible Ring and, hence, to universal reality. Certainly, an item’s appearing in the Black Centre is evidence of its availability to everyone during the happening of its existence but it is no evidence of its being shared. Communication happens in relation to a sensuous item of experience, namely Big Jim McKay’s vision of the cabin. In a nutshell, communication is the trade between the realms within the manifold of light, the socialised exchange of percepts and ideas, the metaphysical interplay of the real. Communication allows agents to drop references about experiential items into someone else’s world.
