The Ineffable (part 1 of ∞)

"...matter, metaphorically speaking, is the creation of the spirit (the mode of existence of the observer in a domain of discourse), and...the spirit is the creation of the matter it creates. This is not a paradox, but it is the expression of our existence in a domain of cognition in which the content of cognition is cognition itself. Beyond that nothing can be said." - Humberto Maturana (1980)

"Immediacy of existence is ineffable...of direct existence it is futile to say anything to one's self and impossible to say anything to another. ... Things in their immediacy are unknown and unknowable, not because they are remote or behind some impenetrable veil of sensation or ideas, but because knowledge has no concern with them. For knowledge is a memorandum of conditions of their appearance, concerned, that is, with sequences, coexistences, relations. Immediate things may be pointed to by words, but not described or defined." - John Dewey (1925)

"Reason's last step is the recognition that there is an infinite number of things which are beyond it." - Blaise Pascal (1670)
