truth can never fully happen
something in the clouds stops its becoming

the other will have a cutoff that might let us only guess its true being!
let us set:
- time, as the "breadth" (x)
- muchness of the unknown, as the "height" (y)
- our knowledge of the other, as the "bending" (y=f(x))
having forever to learn
as time stretches to forever:
- the unknown becomes almost nothing
- it never truly becomes nothing
- some other-ness always "sticks around"
- we don't know why the bending only nears, but never reaches, the "line of the same"
- the other can never become the same
- the cutoff can also shift away
- even if the bending does somehow cut through the "y-as-0 cutoff", the cutoff could then shift to, say, "y-as-1-below"
- the bending would then need to further lessen the unknown
- reaching "y-as-1-below" would still not mean "knowing"
- the cutoff also has its way of shifting further down
taking it as a given?
even for "truths" such as "2 + 2 = 4":
- some don't care for this "truth"
- others write "2 + 2 = 4" with other tokens
- the tokens "2 + 2 = 4" mean nothing to them
- yet, others live on another realm
- "2 + 2" does not always mean "4"
- even in some settings for us, "2 + 2 = 1", e.g.:
- 2 sticks of clay can come together with another 2 sticks
- they would then make 1 big clump of clay (not 4)
if we think about the "edge settings" of our own world
the "full truths" that we take as given break up (?)
