Wouldn't it be swell if Pi were somewhere in the dimensionality of the multiverse?

It is both finite and infinite, an absurd entailment of its self-described nature. A point represents the concurrence of potential and actuality. Each point is the point within the endless intersubjectivity of point correspondence.

Sounds either paradoxical or just not easily referenceable.

The point in question being the culmination of its own abstraction and specificity, I mean. You could think of it as a symbol for any moment in time, any entity, a process viewed in totality, a self-nesting dynamism, basically the instantiation of de facto self-referencing existence.

It is referenceable by nature. That is the defining property of existence: It can be referenced.

However, the referencing itself is entangled with the "object" referenced. Separation can produce both clarity and confusion. Perspective is a tricky.... thing.

But basically it could be referenceable as a heterarchical set of hierarchical subsets.

It's interesting how referenceability can be referenced and so exists, making existence "subordinate" to itself like a self-similar object. Thus the word existence is, in part, self-referencing or at least self-encompassing.

Do you think existence and truth are related? I do.

you couldn't have truth without existence..heck..you couldn't have falsities without existenece..everything is related to existence..because without existence..well..nothing exists

Perhaps truth and existence are in essence the same...

Truth is what actually is, not a concept of what anything might be.

I was going to say that existence is truth, as greeney said "what actually is."

But then the problem is defining actual.
