to attempts at its strict definition.” 22 This exercise sets forth exact notions with the inexact language of the spurious
names and generalizations that have crept into the language as truth. There’s no other
way. “There are no precisely stated axiomatic certainties from which to start. There
is not even the language in which to frame them. The only possible procedure is to
start from verbal expressions which when taken by themselves with the current meanings
of their words are ill-defined and ambiguous.” 23 Welcome the contradictions, welcome the confusion . . . as you would success.
The coupling of observer observed system is finite. The observation, the measuring
operation, is irreversible. The real world measured itself out of existence. “The
model need not be that of an objective, immovable world around us. Philosophers of
our time cannot ignore the fact that Interaction be tween observer and observed is
finite and cannot be made as small as desired. Observation and perturbation inevitably
go together and the world around us is in perpetual flux because we observe it.” 24
“A physical quantity must not be defined by verbal reduction to other familiar conceptions,
but by prescribing the operations necessary to produce and measure it.” 25 Universe is finite decreation of the outside world, independent of us; decreation
of the outside world not directly accessible to us. The description is the thing.
The description: a mathematical formulation, the statistical expression of coupling.
“The making of models or pictures to explain mathematical formulae and the phenomena
they describe is not a step toward, but a step away from reality.” 26 Universe is finite: not a word, and yet another kind of word, and “the word must
be the thing it represents.” 27
No nouns: “the notion of an actual entity as the unchanging subject of change is completely
abandoned.” 28 The unity is unit-less: “An actual entity is at once the subject experiencing and
the superject of its experiences. It is subject-superject and neither half of this
description can for a moment be lost sight of.” 29 Unitless unity: the negation of one. Unitless unity. the operation, the statistical
expression of coupling, of activity. Unitless unity: “The poet and his subject are
inseparable.” 30 There is no ultimate subject. “Before the birth of Doubt / We—you and I—were one,
/ Who now, alack, / Are both undone!” 31
“To measure is to disturb.” 32 “We used to imagine that there was a real universe, outside of us, which could persist
even when we stopped observing it.” 33 The negation of the empirical notion of antecedent observation: “we can never catch
the world taking a holiday.” 34 Observation and perturbation inevitably go together and “the method of pinning down
thought to the strict systematization of detailed discrimination, already effected
by antecedent observation, breaks down.” 35 “Each observation destroys the bit of the universe observed, and so supplies knowledge
only of a universe which has already become past history.” 36 We cannot abstract ourselves from the world. We form together with it, an inseparable
whole. There are no actors and spectators, but a mixed crowd . . . “reject, absolutely
renounce the idea of an objective real world.” 37 The concern is with “our observation of nature, and not nature itself.” 38
Description is the thing. Decreation of the idealized real world, the thing world,
the people world. “Experiments are the only elements which really count.” 39 Coupling of observer-observed, an event: the matter of fact. “The elementary particles
themselves are not as real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather
than of things and facts.” 40 Physical phenomena: not things made of matter. Coupling: the matter of fact. “Do
not look behind the
